I shall live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks.

When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.

Out of all the things you could not have there were some things that you could have and one of those was to know when you were happy and to enjoy all of it while it was there and it was good.

that every day should be a fiesta seemed to me a marvelous discovery

I would like to have it for my whole life. You will, the other part of him said. You will. You have it _now_ and that is all your whole life is; now.

But in the meantime all the life you have or ever will have is today, tonight, tomorrow, today, tonight, tomorrow, over and over again (I hope), he thought and so you had better take what time there is and be very thankful for it.

Do you have other things like that to look forward to? Just everyday. I look forward to everyday.

After all, the seeds of depression cannot take root in a grateful heart.

If you set your mind on loss, you are more likely to lose … But a grateful perspective brings happiness and abundance into a person's life.

From this point forward, you will focus on what can be controlled. And you will no longer be sad or worried. You will be grateful! After all, the seeds of depression cannot take root in a grateful heart.

THE FIFTH DECISION FOR SUCCESS: Today I will choose to be happy.

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.
