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

Rushing into action, you fail.
Trying to grasp things, you lose them.
Forcing a project to completion,
you ruin what was almost ripe.
Therefore the Master takes action
by letting things take their course.
He remains as calm at the end
as at the beginning.
He has nothing,
thus has nothing to lose.
What he desires is non-desire;
what he learns is to unlearn.
He simply reminds people
of who they have always been.
He cares about nothing but the Tao.
Thus he can care for all things.
― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
Smile when in pain, smile when troubles pour like rain. Smile after someone hurt your feelings, because you know, smiling always starts the healing. ~Unknown
The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it.
~Nicholas Sparks
Life is more than worth living, when you realize someone from somewhere is thinking about you.
~Alfusainey Jallow
Sometimes I think of the sun and the moon as lovers who rarely meet, always chase, and almost always miss one another. But once in a while, they do catch up and the world stares in awe of their eclipse. ~Unknown
