Happiness doesn’t depend on what we have, but it does depend on how we feel toward what we have. We can be happy with little and miserable with much.

William Dempster Hoard, 1836-1918, Wisconsin Governor

One of the harder lessons to learn in life, in my opinion. After all, winners are supposed to win – all the time, no? 🙂

Employ the power of positive quitting. Most of us view quitting as something negative, but it’s not. ‘Winners never quit,’ we’re told, when, in reality, winners quit all the time: choosing to stop doing things that aren’t creating the results they desire. When you quit all the things that aren’t working for you, when you quit tolerating all the negative things that hold you back, you’ll create a positive ‘charge’ in your life as well as create the space in your life for more positive experiences.

Changing others is always difficult. If we want a world of compassion, we need to start living it ourselves.

Our thoughts and actions should express our mind of compassion, even if the other person says and does things that are not easy to accept. We must practice this way until we see clearly that our love is not contingent upon the other person being lovable.

Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Buddhist Monk, Author and Peace Activist

With the coming of 2006 and the passing of the Chinese New Year (out goes the year of the chook!), it’s time to plan ahead!

Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those
things which are ahead.
