You are responsible for your own happiness. If you expect others to make you happy, you will always be disappointed.

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.
The root of joy is gratefulness...It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.
Cradles of love, filled with laughter, the joy of a child is a treasure like no other. ✨
Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.

There are souls in this world which have the gift of finding joy everywhere and of leaving it behind them when they go.
It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little – do what you can.
