“If only we’d stop trying to be happy we’d have a pretty good time.”- Edith Wharton

“Happiness is a state of mind.” It is not what you chase. It is what you give to yourself and others. You can be happy if you want to. It is your choice to make.

Don’t wait for a special moment to find your happiness. You can’t find it. You can’t find happiness anywhere. It is already in your mind. Create your own happiness. Design your own happiness. You can do that by paying attention to your actions. Doing the right things will bring happiness to you. You can’t be happy if all you do is against what you stand for.

True happiness comes from doing the right things. True happiness comes from living a peaceful life. Remember, you can’t live a peaceful life if you don’t do peaceful things. True happiness comes from paying attention to the little things.

Pay attention to your actions. Pay attention to your emotions. Pay attention to your time management skills. Pay attention to your relationships with your good friends. Pay attention to your life.

Don’t ignore the power of the little things. They have the power to change your life. They have the power to make you happy.

“Happiness is not in your vacation home; happiness is in your vacation mind.”

‘One Faces The Future With One’s Past.’

We can’t understand today if we don’t have the courage to look at where we are coming from. Whether we want to know or not, we are coming from somewhere.

We have done positive and negative things in the past. We like to think about the positive things that we have done. We don’t like to think about the negative things that we have done in the past. Why is that? Positive things make us feel good, and negative things, on the other hand, make us feel bad about ourselves.

We can’t learn from our mistakes if all we do is to focus on the positive things. It is good to focus on the positive side of things, but it is dangerous to ignore our mistakes. We learn more from mistake than success. ‘We learn more from failure than success.’

But if we really want to know what we have done wrong, why they were wrong, and how to prevent them from happening again, we MUST face our failures. Without that, we can’t have the full picture of our past.

Pearl S. Buck said, “One faces the future with one’s past.” You cannot separate yourself from your past. It is a part of your life. Now, what does it mean to learn from the past?

Learning from the past will prepare you to handle tomorrow’s problems. By understanding your past, you will learn more about your mistakes, your failures, your successes, and you will learn how to prevent your past mistakes from happening again.

You can’t move forward if you don’t know where you are coming from. So to move forward, you must study your past.

“If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.”– Pearl S. Buck, writer
