Quotes

“There is no way to happiness - happiness is the way.” Thich Nhat Hanh

"Your future growth and progress are now based in your understanding about the difference between the two ways in which you can measure yourself: against an ideal, which puts you in what I call the GAP,' and against your starting point, which puts you in 'the GAIN,' appreciating all that you've accomplished."

-DAN SULLIVAN

“Happiness is not something you pursue. Happiness is not somewhere in the future. Decades of scientific research is clear on this point: happiness is where you start, not where you finish.”

"Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you're proud to live."

-ANNE SWEENEY, AMERICAN BUSINESSWOMAN AND FORMER CO-CHAIR OF DISNEY MEDIA

"Comparison makes you unhappy, and there's no end to comparison in the world, if that's the path you choose."

“Comparison is the thief of joy.” - Theodore Roosevelt

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards."

-STEVE JOBS

"Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it. It's just easier if you do."

-BYRON KATIE

"With increased value comes greater meaning. The things that we value or appreciate the most also have the greatest mean-ing. Value and meaning in the world, then, are totally created by appreciation."
