Happiness need not be analyzed.

A still tongue keeps a wise head.

Transgressions are to be understood and corrected, not dwelt upon or agonized over.

Feel that life likes you just the way you are; otherwise, it would have made you differently.

Chinese landscape paintings often include tiny figures - as if to emphasize the grandeur of nature of which humankind is one small part. Think of the world in these terms, as larger in scale than the human. This is a healthy corrective to the commonplace view that people own the land, which exists to serve their purposes. Think big and live small.

I hope you find, as I did, that happiness comes from noticing and enjoying the little things in life.

A true smile is when the mouth and the heart coordinate with each other.
