How often do we just step back from our busy days, make a conscious decision to say something nice?
Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.
Elizabeth Gilbert
It took awhile to get here but I think I’ve finally found the peace I needed.
if everyone can just give more and expect less, the world would be nicer. So to the ones who keep on giving, don’t stop. give less, but don’t just stop.
