“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.” ~unknown
These are crazy and wild times right now and many (most) are struggling. It may be hard but do your best to keep the quality of your thoughts positive.
For some reason quotes by Laura Ingalls Wilder have been popping up in my feed, lately. I’m glad. They have a way of grounding me when life seems to be spinning out of control.
How about you? Do you have a favorite writer or quotes to help keep you grounded?
“Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they have.” ~Budha
I find myself focusing a lot these days on gratitude and this quote really stood out to me. Not from a standpoint of appreciating the “THINGS” I have, but from appreciating where I am in my life. Appreciating my family. Appreciating my friends. Appreciating my health. Appreciating where I am this very second of my life and the time I have been given to experience this chapter in my life.
Sure, others may have more, they may have accomplished more in their careers or experienced situations I never will. But that is their journey not mine. And for that I choose to appreciate and find happiness in my own journey.
What part of your journey are you failing to appreciate that is holding you back from your happiness?
