Happiness is not a goal to pursue or a mystery to solve. It is a choice, an active decision to approach life from a thankful positive perspective, and a gift only we can give ourselves.
This world is cruel and dark, so we must find our own light. While people can't give you light, the trusted can guide you to it. Once you find the light, never let it go or let others dim it, and don't let others words blow it out.
Do your best and give it your all in everything that you do. Life is not a race, forgiving yourself for the things not achieved is empathy but learning to live with yourself in all situations is Human Power money, wealth cannot buy. Life is life not a race.
