Try to maintain the perspective that, in time, everything disintegrates and returns to its initial form.

The key to a good life is this: If you're not going to talk about something during the last hour of your life, then don't make it a top priority during your lifetime.

Every day, tell at least one person something you like, admire, or appreciate about them.

What interferes with this peaceful feeling is our expectation of reciprocity.

If we would just slow down, happiness would catch up to us.

Many people spend their entire lifetimes wishing that other people would acknowledge them. They feel this especially about their parents, spouses, children, and friends.

Ironically, when you surrender your need to hog the glory, the attention you used to need from other people is replaced by a quiet inner confidence that is derived from letting others have it.
