Happiness Is a Journey

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness.

Happiness is the way.

So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one.

~ Souza

Dark Places

"Remember...flowers grow out of dark places."

~ Corita Kent

Take a Step Into the Darkness

When we walk to the end of all the light we have,

and take a step into the darkness of the unknown,
we must believe one of two things will happen:
That we will land on something solid,

or we will learn to fly.

~ A Native American saying.

If a man does not keep pace with others,

perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

"There is always another appointment to be met, another bill to pay, another symptom presenting, another uneventful day to be notched on the wooden wall. We have sychronized our watches, studied our calendars, existed in minutes, and completely forgotten to step back and see what we've accomplished."

~ Jodi Picoult

Leave a Trail

go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

I Believe

First heard this Brooks and Dunn song 4 years ago.... now, as then, it serves as a source of strength and inspiration.

The Ukele, a Little Boy and The Hippy Song

Music is so amazing! The joy is apparent - even without knowing all the words!




Thanks for the post, Joanna!

Misperceptions

Only your misperceptions stand in your way.

Happiness

Happiness
When one's spiritual needs are met
by an untroubled inner life.
Happiness comes when your work and words
are of benefit to yourself and others.

Our Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

~ Marianne Williamson
