Mary’s Minute
“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned,
earned, or worn. It is the spiritual experience of living every minute with
love, grace & gratitude.”
- Denis Waitley
“Happiness is
when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
- Mohandas
Gandhi
We all know
that happiness is more of a state of mind than anything tied to material things
or events. We often say that being happy
is a choice, but we also know that it is not always that simple. I really like these two quotes about
happiness because they give us a bit of a road map to choosing happiness. Waitley explains that happiness is about living
life with “love, grace, and gratitude,” while Gandhi takes it even further by
saying being happy is thinking, saying, and acting in unison. Following Gandhi’s advice, we may need to
work on changing one or more of these elements in our lives to achieve true happiness. We may need to think differently in order to
match what we say and do; speak differently to match our thoughts and actions;
or act differently to connect with our thoughts and words I am a big fan of
Gandhi quotes, and this is the first time I have stumbled across this one. I like the advice, and it is something that I
am going to consciously try to use in my life as I constantly strive to choose
happiness!
Have a great week and be happy!
Mary
