by achieving your goals.

"YESTERDAY IS HISTORY
TOMORROW IS A MYSTERY
BUT TODAY IS A GIFT
THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT
THE PRESENT"

Hi @Decadian 🙂 and all you others 🙂

Happiness...I believe one should seek happiness daily. Every morning I now look in the mirror, smile at myself and I'm saying "hello" to my little "happy" 😄

It is very hard to do when I am feeling down, but I try hard to keep my little "happy" happy and smiling.

I would re-word "decent life" to "contented life", it sounds way more positive. Decent equates more to existence in my mind, whereas contentment is in itself a quiet state of happiness 😄

Yes, help and empower others, when the desire to do so comes from the joy within. This must not be confused with the submissive and flat /joyless "doormat attitude" that the word decent may imply.

That's my take on it, anyway. I like your quotes, just brightening them a bit 🙂

Okay, I'm weird, but aren't we all in some way?

Hugs 🙂 🙂 🙂
