Enlarge Your Life

People are disturbed, not by things, but by the principles and notions with which they form judgements concerning things.

Happiness is a mental habit, a mental attitude, and if it is not learned and practiced in the present it is never experienced. It cannot be made contingent on solving some external problem. When one problem is solved, another appears to take its place. Life is a series of problems. If you are to be happy at all, you must be happy — period! — not happy “because of.”

I have found that one of the most common causes of unhappiness among my patients is that they are attempting to live their lives on the deferred payment plan. They do not live, nor do they enjoy life now, but wait for some future event or occurrence

We are never living, but only hoping to live; and, looking forward always to being happy, it is inevitable that we never are so,

Happiness (or prosperity) is not a commodity like the last candy bar on a deserted island populated by three castaways or the last hour of oxygen in a sealed vault in which several people have been locked up.

You make each day a special day by just your being you. There's no person in the whole world like you, and I like you just the way you are.

Your thoughts, feelings, and visualized imagery are the organizing principles of your experience

It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.
