“MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND TO BE HAPPY” Inspiring Wisdom Quotes About The Secret Keys To Happiness
Lightning Bolts Of Inspiring Insights from Yogananda, Lahiri Mahasaya, Helen Keller, Epictetus and Roald Dahl
MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND TO BE HAPPY
If you want to be sad,
No one in the world
Can make you happy.
But if you make up your
Mind to be happy,
No one or nothing on earth
Can take that happiness
Away from you.
Our happiness is in our hands,
We are the creator of our life.
When we blame others,
We give our power away.
—Paramahansa Yogananda
YOU BELONG TO NO ONE BUT GOD
Always remember that you belong to no one
And no one belongs to you.
Reflect that someday
You will suddenly have to
Leave everything in this world—-
So, make the acquaintanceship
Of God now.
—Lahiri Mahasaya
EVERYTHING HAS ITS WONDERS
Everything has its wonders,
Even darkness and silence—
And I learn, whatever state
I may be in, therein to be content.
—Helen Keller
GIVE UP WORRYING ABOUT THINGS BEYOND YOUR CONTROL
There is only one way to happiness
And that is to cease worrying
About things which are beyond
The power of your will.
—Epictetus
LET YOUR FACE SHINE
If you have good thoughts
They will shine out of your face
Like sunbeams and you will
Always look lovely.
—Ronald Dahl
