contentment

We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.

Happiness isn't a thing. You can't go out and get it like a cup of tea. It's the way you feel about things.

Lord, make me nowAs happy as the field.With flowers enriched...

You don't have to be part of a couple to be happy, you know.

Always remember that you were once alone, and the crowd you see in your life today are just as unecessary as when you were alone.

Progress and healing involves seeing every person as not so different from ourselves.

Healing was a terrifying and painful experience and my life was as full of struggle and heartache as it had always been. Several years after I started therapy, I began to feel happy. I was stunned. I hadn't realized that the point of all this work on myself was to feel good. I thought it was just one more struggle in a long line of struggles. It took a while before I got used to the idea that my life had changed, that I felt happy, that I was actually content. Learning to tolerate feeling good is one of the nicest parts of healing.

Paradise was always over there, a day__ sail away. But it__ a funny thing, escapism. You can go far and wide and you can keep moving on and on through places and years, but you never escape your own life. I, finally, knew where my life belonged. Home.

Happiness is found within Oneself. It can't be accessed through People or Things.

In our need to be somebody, we often forget that we are somebody.

He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.

Give yourself the love and attention you desire, it's the starting point of contentment.

And besides_._._. I don__ want to leave you. Er, you guys.__e smiled, and it lit up his whole face. __ell, __e_ are certainly happy to hear that. Oh, and I__ also happy to watch our darling little love child dragon while you__e in St. Louis.__ grinned back.

Never be content with your work, your relationships, your life. That's the stupid advice philosophers give today.

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.

The greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.

If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with.

Dreams aren't only an illusion to put you into a subconsciously pleasurable state of mind for the time being, but also a pathway to gain complete contentment.
