“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.”

“Be Yourself. Life is precious as it is. All the elements for your happiness are already here. There is no need to run, strive, search, or struggle. Just Be.”

“One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to make other people happy. One of the best ways to make other people happy is to be happy yourself.”

“Try to realize it's all within yourself,
No one else can make you change.
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows in within you and without you.”

“It is by not always thinking of yourself, if you can manage it, that you might somehow be happy. Until you can make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost….”

“A lot of people, they think, ‘Oh, I’m only going to be happy when I find a special person who is going to make me happy.’ No. In life, you have to be happy with yourself first, number one. When you’re happy with yourself, you have to find another person who is happy with herself so you can share your happiness.”

“Be thoughtful of others all your life and you will be very happy.”

“Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.”

“The therapists told you that you needed to find happiness within yourself before you got it from another person.”

“There is within each of us a "life-instinct," which is forever working toward health, happiness, and all that makes for more life for the individual.”
