When you are alone you are not alone, you are simply lonely – and
there is a tremendous difference between loneliness and aloneness. When
you are lonely you are thinking of the other, you are missing the other.

Loneliness
is a negative state. You are feeling that it would have been better if
the other were there – your friend, your wife, your mother, your
beloved, your husband. It would have been good if the other were there,
but the other is not. Loneliness is absence of the other.

Aloneness
is the presence of oneself. Aloneness is very positive. It is a
presence, overflowing presence. You are so full of presence that you can
fill the whole universe with your presence and there is no need for
anybody. ~Osho

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

― Mahatma Gandhi

One moment it was there, another moment it is gone. One moment we are
here, and another moment we have gone. And for this simple moment, how
much fuss we make! How much violence, ambition, struggle, conflict,
anger, hatred, just for this small moment! Just waiting for the train
in a waiting room on a station, and creating so much fuss: fighting,
hurting each other, trying to possess, trying to boss, trying to
dominate – all that politics. And then the train comes and you are
gone forever. ~Osho

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

― Christian D. Larson

If you want to be a little bit wiser, a little bit smarter and wish to stay
a little bit younger than your age, learn from the children, not the politicians.
Children are innocent. They can put a big smile on your face.
Politicians? Possibly many wrinkles!
