Wisdom I Pondered This Week

“The secret of being happy consists of knowing how to enjoy yourself—enjoy being at table, in bed, enjoy standing up, sitting down, enjoy the nearest ray of sunshine, the slightest bit of landscape: in other words, love everything.” — Gustave Flaubert
If you live for people’s approval, you will die from their rejection.
You don’t have to be alone (physical state) to feel lonely (emotional state).
Most people quit because they look how far they have to go, not how far they have come.
You are always just one good decision away from being in a better place tomorrow — just focus on the next decision.
