The secret of happiness is simply this... your happiness does NOT depend on getting what you want.

To be fully present with what is, is to be content... and to be content is to be blessed by everything that happens in life.

Whatever you can do with unhappiness, you can do better when you're happy.

We tend to think only in terms of what we think is plausible that we could pull off and decide that "that's what I want", instead of focusing on "what do I want?" and then figuring out how we could pull it off.

You aren't afraid of what you think you're afraid of - you're afraid of what you think.

If all you did was tell a lamppost your goals for each day, they would still be far more likely to happen.

We live in a world of thought, but we think we live in a world of external experience.
