The odyssey to happiness lies in the dimension of the heart

We all long for happiness, yet the pursuit of happiness usually only leads to temporary pleasure that melts away like a flake of snow in a river

For how can we be truly happy believing that life as we know it is some kind of accident and when we die, we simply cease to exist. How can there be happiness in beliefs based purely on science, when the only thing that science has conclusively proved is that we have much to learn.

"The odyssey to happiness lies in the dimension of the heart. Such a journey is made on stepping-stones of selflessness, wisdom, contentment, and faith."
James E. Faust

"The fact that I don't understand the mysteries of prayer or religion no longer keeps me from enjoying the richer, happier life that religion brings".
Dale Carnegie

You Can Do It

"You have powers you never dreamed of.
You can do things you never thought you could do.
There are no limitations in what you can do except the limitations of your own mind."

Darwin P. Kingsley

"You can be anything you want to be, if only you believe with sufficient conviction and act in accordance with your faith; for whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve."
Napoleon Hill

Life Is A Continual, Rewarding Journey

Getting on the right path in life is just a decision. Staying on that path however, involves hundreds or even thousands of decisions every single day. Each decision we make either takes us closer to our chosen destination or further away from it.

Then as we make intelligent decisions, we grow and become more enlightened - and our expectations of our destination grow and the destination itself changes. And so life is a continual, rewarding journey.

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”
Patanjali


"As you stay on the right path, the reward at the end of life’s journey is well worth the moments of adversity you experience along the way."
Ben B. Banks
