Why not start the week with an inspirational quote by Samuel Goldwyn that should make you feel happy: 

When someone does something good, applaud! You will make two people
happy.

A quick motivational quote to start your morning from William F. Scolavino:

“The height of your accomplishments will equal the depth of your convictions.”

I like this attitude…

People call me an optimist, but I’m really an appreciator….When I
was six years old and had scarlet fever, the first of the miracle
drugs, sulfanilamide, saved my life. I’m grateful for computers and
photocopiers…I appreciate where we’ve come from.

Since we touched on that whole can-money-buy-happiness topic yesterday, I though I would share this very wise quote from Bernard Meltzer.

“The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you
lost all your money.”

More happiness quotes.

This one just came in by email, and I just had to share:

“Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.”Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)  

“Be of good cheer. Do not think of today’s failures, but of the
success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult
task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy
in overcoming obstacles.”

Doesn’t that make you feel happy?  Or happier? 

 

“There is no key to happiness, only a ladder.”

Saa-aay, was Hector Lara Lahoz reading my book when he said that.  My book uses the analogy of the Great Wall of Misery and building a Stairway To Heaven to climb over it.

The fact is that happiness is what we make of it.  Some people have a little of it, some have a lot.  Every one of us can create more than we have now.  It’s just a matter of climbing that ladder. Make the decision to climb your ladder, or stairway, to happiness today.

George Bernard Shaw  said:

“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.”
