Happiness is not getting what you want. It is wanting what you get.

There’s a point in getting the best with what you’ve got. But I know, sometimes we are served really crappy cards so unless that’s the case there’s no reason not to be happy. Comparing ourselves with others is quite often a major reason for unhappiness for many. Avoiding that is key

Diarrhea is a survival mechanism, so be happy you have it.

This is amazing!

A great example of focusing on the positive in any and all situations!

How long are you going to be unhappy about that? It’s passes even quicker than a cold and everybody gets it once in a while. Happiness is not to cry over spilled milk.
