"Second Helpings"
No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Zahir"
Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.
-Aristotle
Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.
