1. Happiness is a journey…

    1

    Happiness is a journey, not a destination. There was always some obstacle in the way,
    something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served,
    a debt to be paid. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have
    and remember that time waits for no one. ~Souza

    The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person’s suffering and bring that person joy. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

    Comment
