Happiness! -(great quotes)


"Some of the happiest people I know have none of the things the world insists are necessary for satisfaction and joy..."

-Joseph B. Wirthlin

"The way we react to adversity can be a major factor in how happy and successful we can be in life." -Joseph B. Wirthlin
--------------------------------------


"Tomorrow's joy or tomorrow's despair...
Has it roots in decisions we make today.
Perhaps some people think to themselves:
'I know I need to change some things in my life.
Maybe later,
But not now.'
Those who stand at the threshold of life
Always waiting for the right time to change
Are like the man who stands at the bank of a river
Waiting for the water to pass
So he can cross on dry land.
Today is the day of decision."
-Joseph B. Wirthlin
-----------------------------------

'It is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us–even with all our flaws!
His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will."
We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today.
Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever.
Although we might settle for less,
Heavenly Father won't
For He sees us
As the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."
-Joseph B Wirthlin

"If we only look around us,
There are a thousand reasons for us not to be happy,
And it is simplicity itself
To blame our unhappiness
On the things we lack in life.
It doesn't take any talent at all to find them.
The problem is,
The more we focus on the things we don't have,
The more unhappy and more resentful we become"
-Joseph B.Wirthlin
