One Way To Happiness






Life has no smooth road for any of us; 
and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim 
the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps,
 till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself. 
Author: W. C. Doan 

 Don't waste your life in doubts and fears:
 spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that 
the right performance of this hour's duties
 will be the best preparation for the hours or ages that follow it.
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
There is only one way to happiness,
 and that is to cease worrying things which are beyond the power of our will. 
Author: Epictetus

A Life of Gratitude

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. Johannes A. Gaertner To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more often occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving. Gregg Krech Explore This Website
