To be happy is a choice you make every day, every hour. And refining and renewing that state is a constant pursuit.

Each of us may think we know exactly what we need to make us happy, what will be good for us, what will ensure we have our happy ending, but life rarely works out in the way we expect, and our happy ending may have all sorts of unexpected twists and turns, be shaped in all sorts of unexpected ways.

Come on, jump out the door
You can't hold it down no more
I'll show you how the birds learned how to fly
Don't mind leaving your nest
Don't mind making a mess
This might be the best day of your life.

- Katie Herzig

If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams. And you will always look lovely.

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
- Marcel Proust

The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.
- Marcel Pagnol

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
- Lao-tzu

But you’ll fight and you’ll make it through

You’ll fake it if you have to

And you’ll show up for work with a smile


You’ll be better

And you’ll be smarter

And more grown up and a better daughter or son

And a real good friend


And you’ll be awake

You’ll be alert

You’ll be positive though it hurts

And you’ll laugh and embrace all your friends


And you’ll be a real good listener

You’ll be honest

You’ll be brave

You’ll be handsome and you’ll be beautiful


You’ll be happy

We cannot cure the world of sorrows but we can choose to live in joy.
- Joseph Campbell

I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.
- Roald Dahl

Singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain. What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again.
- Singin' in the Rain

Don’t wish me happiness. I don’t expect to be happy all the time… It’s gotten beyond that somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor. I will need them all.
- Anne Morrow Lindbergh

You're one of the many things that make me face the day, I'm so glad you're here with me.

- The Starting Line

It's not the circumstances you enounter. It is who you are. Will you manifest your truth? And this is the real challenge. I'm here to tell you now that life is not about the big fights, the big battle, your great destination. Life is about the small moments every single day - those acts of kindness and decency and love that will define you, that in their aggregate add up to a lifetime of profound contribution. This is life. It doesn't start next year. It doesn't start when you finish graduate school. It doesn't start when you get a job. Today is the day you have to tell your truth, to manifest your essence, to declare the state of your soul.

Live in the sunshine
Swin in the sea
Drink the wild air.
