RANDOM QUOTES ON LIFE

“Happiness is contagious. Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. Just think how happy you would be if you lost everything you have right now, and then got it back again. They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.” – lifeswonders

“So many people are shut up tight inside themselves like boxes, yet they would open up, unfolding quite wonderfully, if only you were interested in them.” — Sylvia Plath

“Too many people in this world can’t see beyond their own happiness.” — Chris

“Take 5 seconds just to be quiet. Everything that disappeared in those 5 seconds for you, that’s what’s not real. So when you are not thinking, everything that disappears… that’s what’s not real. For most people, that’s about 99% of their whole experience of life… their whole world.” — Adyashanti

“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.” — Marcel Pagnol

“Too many people are searching. Searching for each other. Searching for their selves. Searching for something lost, in hopes of getting it back again. What I say is that whatever you’re searching for, don’t. Chances are it’s gonna come back to you on it’s own. If it really belonged to you, it will come back. Fate has its way in the oddest places.” – liveelaughlovee

“The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being. It is a state of connectedness with something immeasurable and indestructible, something that, almost paradoxically, is essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is finding your true nature beyond name and form.” — Echkart Tolle

“Go ahead… eat that slice of chocolate cake, splash in those muddy puddles after a rainstorm, tell someone you love them, draw a picture with crayons like you’re still 6 years old and then give it to someone who is very important to you. Do something selfless everyday. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, go on a mission trip, fill up someone’s meter, take a homeless person to dinner, make a difference in the life of a child. Take a nap, go on vacation, do a cartwheel, make up your own recipe, dance like no one sees you, paint each nail a different color, take a bubble bath, laugh with your friends. Run a marathon, plant a garden, learn a new language, write a song, go on a picnic, relax in the sun, sing in your car out loud with the windows down, hug the unhugged, love the unloved and praise and thank God everyday. Live your life so that when you’re standing in front of heaven’s gate that chosen day, you’ll have no regrets, no sorrows and no disappointments.” — iamblessed
