Happiness is not an acquisition – it is a skill

Life can be found only in the present moment.The past is gone, the future is not yet here,and if we do not go back to ourselves in thepresent moment, we cannot be in touch with life.Thich Nhat Hanh

you won’t be any happier when you get more

If you can’t be happy now, with what you have
and who you are, you will not be happy
when you get what you think you want.

We weren’t born unhappy. We learned to be unhappyBarry Neil Kaufman

We don’t develop courage by being happy every day.We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.

The wind blows strong and hard on thetender young trees, not to harm them, but toteach their roots to hold firmly to the ground.

Marriage is not a noun, it’s a verb.It isn’t something you get,it’s something you do.

You never lose by loving.You always lose by holding back love.

The greatest gift you and your spouse can give
your children is the example of an intimate,healthy, and loving relationship.
