NOT YET RATED ▼
Observe your own rhythms and flow to uncover your unique peak conditions. What are the conditions that elevate you? And what are the conditions that deflate you? When do you feel most alive? What's happening around you to fuel that aliveness? How can you stimulate and replicate it? What are the conditions you need to thrive?

When you find yourself experiencing "peak" aliveness, pause to take note of what's happening around you. What led you to this moment? What got you to this feeling? What pumps you up when you're breaking down?

There is no greater gift. The happiness of a mortal is incandescent. A shame it is so fleeting—though maybe that is why it’s so precious, so perfect, in the moment it exists.

While pleasure and pecuniary gain are undoubtedly the objects which have wrought the degradation of this holy festival, the justification offered for this degradation and for many other evils is that it is “good for trade.” It seems to be held by most people that if only money is made to pass from one person to another there must necessarily be a gain to the community. This is, obviously, not true. It is a fallacy that all trade is of necessity a gain. The gain or loss depends altogether on the nature of the transactions. Take, for instance, the slave trade. This occasioned the circulation of much money, and gave employment to a large number of workers. But who would now dare to urge that slavery should be encouraged because it is good for trade?

Ah, we should have a land of joy,
Of love and joy and wine and song,
And not this land where joy is wrong.

It was long before Fanny could recover from the agitating happiness of such an hour as was formed by the last thirty minutes of expectation, and the first of fruition; it was some time even before her happiness could be said to make her happy, before the disappointment inseparable from the alteration of person had vanished, and she could see in him the same William as before, and talk to him, as her heart had been yearning to do through many a past year.
- Jane Austen

Your life plan must reflect your wants, needs, and wishes—not anyone else’s. If you live your life on someone else’s plan, you might just hit someone else’s goals and not be happy.

Chasing everyone’s happiness is like trying to catch the wind—elusive and endless. But finding joy within yourself is planting a seed that blossoms unconditionally.

By choosing to be happy, even when the days are full of thunderstorms, the gentle moonlight in our hearts can still bring about peace. By choosing to love, our hearts are filled.

Topic: Happiness
NOT YET RATED ▼
And then, God help me, on my first morning, in the first few minutes of my first morning, I felt that this alien northern countryside was friendly, that I’d turned a corner and that this summer of 1920, which was to smoulder on until the first leaves fell, was to be a propitious season of living, a blessed time.
I told myself that I didn’t care how long the job took me – what was left of July, August, September, even October. I was going to be happy, live simply, spend as little as paraffin, bread, vegetables and a bit of bully-beef now and then might cost me.

There's one sentence inscribed in all our hearts.

Yeah, a command that's inscribed in the heart of every living person... No, a command inscribed in the heart of every living being.

Yes, and that inscription says just this.

Live happily!

A cat. A dog. A zebra. A tiger. A cicada. And even a human.

Equally, they all must live happily!

No animal lives without seeking happiness. They all live to seek their own happiness.

Because they are commanded to do so.

Be happy, don’t tell anyone. Go places, don’t tell anyone. Your happiness doesn’t need anybody’s stamp of approval. What the jungle cannot see, the jungle cannot destroy.

Topic: Happiness
NOT YET RATED ▼
It's just one of those days
One of those days which you can't concentrate on anything
Where everyone around you is loud yet you can't hear it
Stuck in your own little world
Not really feeling any kind of emotion
Just a little uncertain
Just need a little break away from everyone
Just a break to re-energise
I guess we all need one of those days

When you move first toward being healthy, holiness will follow. But you cannot have genuine holiness without first achieving healthiness. God cares about your holiness and your happiness, but God also cares about your healthiness, because it is the pivot upon which everything else turns. It is not by accident that Jesus was both a teacher and a healer. . . . You cannot be truly holy without first being healthy, and your holiness is a sad legacy if you can find no joy in it.
