Thoughts on happiness

[mickey65]

I went to a workshop today for Special Education. The keynote speaker spoke on happiness. It was a fantastic speech! There were many things worth sharing, but two quotes stick out in my mind that I would like to share.

"For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness" -Emerson

Happpiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.


Share a smile with someone today, or pass on a smile that someone shares with you!

Have a wonderful night!

I love hearing a really good speaker. It's nice to have someone hold your interest and be inspiring.

I used to collect quotes. Ones I really like. This is a new one for my collection. "For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness" -Emerson

Thanks mickey65!

You are always so sweet! You!

I love Emerson and Thoreau (sp? That doesn't look right and I'm too lazy to walk across the room and look at the spelling of his name. ) They are too people that I love to read quotes from.

You have a good night too! Here is another smile for you:

I just saw your post, Buckalew.

I've collected quotes (and poems too) for as long as I can remember! I'd write them inside my notebooks, tape them to my computer, put them all sorts of places. For inspiration, something to think about, or a smile. (Not all at once, a few key places generally at any given time.) Sometimes I'll buy a blank card for a special occasion and put a quote in along with my sentiments.
