Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge.

Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.

If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can't just wait to see what kind of day you'll have. You have to decide what kind of day you'll have.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future it is something you design for the present.

It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will. L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
