Happiness is simple, compassion is natural, and acceptance exists in every breath we take. It's complexity that confuses us. Connect with the deepest part of the self and find the joy that you've been missing.

Simplicity thrives where acceptance and awareness meet and if neither exist, simplicity quickly turns to mayhem. Meditation brings awareness to how we feel, what we think, and what is happening in the moment. Breathing reveals acceptance. Be in the moment and let everything fall away until only acceptance and awareness exist. Where simplicity begins, the search for happiness ends.

Don't choose to commit yourself to something just to be the best at what you do. Commit yourself because you know that having something to show for your life is better than having nothing to show for it. When I look back on my life, I want to know that I used every resource I was blessed with. It's more important to me to do something with what I have in this moment instead of waiting around to do something with things I might have later on.

Learn to love someone when they least deserve it, because that is when they need your love most.

Happiness is accepting your self.

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.
