Happiness and personal fulfillment are the natural consequences of doing the right thing.

Don't seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen, and all will be well with you.

If your heart is quite set upon a crown, make and put on one of roses, for it will make the prettier appearance.

To make anything a habit, do it; to not make it a habit, do not do it; to unmake a habit, do something else in place of it.

Fortify yourself with contentment, for this is an impregnable fortress.

If any be unhappy, let him remember that he is unhappy by reason of himself alone. For God hath made all men to enjoy felicity and constancy of good.

Consider the bigger picture.....think things through and fully commit!
