Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Happiness is not a destination. It is a mood. It is not permanent. It comes and goes and if people thought that way then maybe people would find happiness more often.

A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.

-William Arthur Ward

and i quote. . .

I've come to conclusions that, if having things turn out, the way you wanted them to, is the measure of an successful life. The important thing is, not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize that everyday won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember its only the black of the nights and seek the stars. And those stars lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble or fall, cause most of the time, the greatest awards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you won't get everything that you wished for. Maybe you'll get more that you ever could of imagine. Who knows where life can take you, the road is long, but in the end, the journey is the destination.

holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
