Happiness blooms naturally in the hearts of those who are inwardly free. It flows spontaneously,
like a mountain spring after April showers, in minds that are contented with simple living.
~Paramhansa Yogananda
Do everything with a mind that lets go. Do not expect any praise or reward. If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. If you let go completely, you will know complete peace and freedom. Your struggles with the world will have come to an end. ~Ajanh Chah
If you do not choose to be happy, no one can make you happy. And if you choose to be happy, no one can make you unhappy. Even if life gave you at one time everything you wanted – wealth, power, friends — after awhile you would again become dissatisfied and need something more. But there is one thing that can never become stale to you – joy itself. All things in future will improve if you make the spiritual effort now. ~Paramhansa Yogananda
Turtles have been on the earth for more than 200 million years. They evolved before mammals, birds, crocodiles, snakes and even lizards. The earliest turtles had teeth and could not retract their heads, but other than this, modern turtles are very similar to their original ancestors. Several species of turtles can live to be over a hundred years of age including the American Box Turtle. Source: Pet Education
“Compassion automatically brings happiness and calmness.” ~The Dalai Lama
Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.
Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy with what you have.
~Zig Ziglar
Cat paws: To us, they’re the cute, spongy things you play with like miniature stress balls after a bad day. To cats, they’re essential for getting around. Either way, cat paws are amazing. Functional enough to unlock an iPhone and so adorable they resemble teddy bears. Source: RocketNews24
When hearts are connected, time and distance cannot break them apart – no matter what.
Some say it’s difficult to remember;
Some say it’s difficult to forget,
So remember not to forget me;
And don’t forget to remember me.
~Santabanta
I was on a ship thinking of you.
When I looked down I dropped a tear in the ocean.
Then I promised myself that until someone finds it.
I won’t forget you! ~Santabanta
