That very effort goes against you. That very effort has destroyed you - it is suicidal.Collection: Happiness

I know not if this earth on which I stand is the core of the universe or if it is but a speck of dust lost in eternity. I know not and I care not.

It is my natural state to be a happy person. It's natural for me to love and to laugh. This is what is most natural for me. I am a happy person.Collection: Happiness
You're always on your way somewhere. The key is: find a way to be happy wherever you now are on your way to where you really want to be. (We're speaking of the state of being you want.) It does not matter where you are; where you are is shifting constantly - but you must turn your attention to where you want to go. And that's the difference between making the best of something and making the worst of something.Collection: Happiness

Then when the time for gathering comes, may your harvest be a rich and fruitful one.Collection: Happiness
