To be truly happy is a question of how we begin, and not how we end, of what we want and not what we have.

Nobody has a perfect life and it's entirely possible that if you want someone else's life they are busy wanting someone else's too—maybe even yours.

You may know what you need, but to get what you want, better see that you keep what you have.

La felicidad es el deseo de repetir.

Gaiety alone, as it were, is the hard cash of happiness; everything else is just a promissory note.

Naught is possessed, neither gold, nor land nor love, nor life, nor peace, nor even sorrow nor death, nor yet salvation. Say of nothing: It is mine. Say only: It is with me.

That we ought to give ourselves up to GOD, with regard both to things temporal and spiritual, and seek our satisfaction only in the fulfilling of His will, whether He lead us by suffering or by consolation, for all would be equal to a soul truly resigned

Mindfulness helps you go home to the present. And every time you go there and recognize a condition of happiness that you have, happiness comes.

The French have a song they like to sing, "Qu'est-ce qu'on attend pour être heureux?" (What are you waiting for in order to be happy?) You can be happy right here and right

Why wander all over the world looking for something you already have? You are already the richest person on Earth.

Happiness can be attained by letting go, including letting go of your ideas about happiness.

it is always possible to practice "I have arrived, I am home." I have run all my life; I am not going to run anymore; now I am determined to stop and really live my life.
