37-“Don't
aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are
going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must
ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal
dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's
surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same
holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you
to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out
to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the
long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you
had forgotten to think about it”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
38-“Generally
speaking, the most miserable people I know are those who are obsessed with
themselves; the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the
service of others...By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about
life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves.”
Gordon B. Hinckley
39-“I
am the happiest creature in the world. Perhaps other people have said so
before, but not one with such justice. I am happier even than Jane; she only
smiles, I laugh.”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
40-“True
happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future,
not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with
what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The
greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is
content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.”
Seneca
41-“There
is some kind of a sweet innocence in being human- in not having to be just
happy or just sad- in the nature of being able to be both broken and whole, at
the same time.”
C. JoyBell C.
