Book Name: Book of Joy
Author: Archbishop Desmond Tutu
& Dalai Lama
Quote: Discovering more joy does not, I’m sorry to say, save us from the inevitability of hardships and heartbreaks. In fact, we may cry more easily, but we will laugh more easily too. Perhaps we are just more alive. Yet as we discover more joy, we can face suffering in a way that ennobles rather than embitters. We have hardship without becoming hard. We have heartbreak without being broken.

Quote: Forgiveness does not mean you forget what someone has done, contrary to the saying “forgive and forget”. Not reacting with negativity, or giving in to the negative emotions, does not mean you do not respond to the acts or that you allow yourself to be harmed again. Forgiveness does not mean that you do not seek justice or that the perpetrator is not punished.

& Dalai Lama
Quote: We create most of our suffering, so it should be logical that we also have the ability to create more joy. It simply depends on the attitudes, the prespectives, and the reactions we bring to situations and to our relationships with other people. When it comes to personal happiness there is a lot that we as individuals can do.

Quote: I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. I felt fear more times than I can remember, but I hid it, a mask of boldness. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear

Heartfelt Inspirations 3
Book: Heartfelt Inspirations – Joy and Happiness BY Herve Desbois
In a word, neither death, nor exile, nor pain, nor anything of this kind is the real cause of our doing or not doing any action, but for inward opinions and principles.

Life does not work according to an absolute recipe that repeats itself day after day. It is up to us to measure out the ingredients according to the circumstances.

Book: Heartfelt Inspirations – Joy and Happiness BY Herve Desbois
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

Book Name: As We Think, So We Are
Author: James Allen, Edited by Ruth L. Miller
Quote: Of all the beautiful truths that have been restored and brought to light in this age, none will promise you more joy and blessedness in mind and spirit than this – that you are the master of your thoughts, the molder of your character, and the maker and shaper of your condition, your environment, and your destiny.
Book Quote December
Book Name: Winter’s Tale
Author: Mark Helprin
Quote: Nothing is random, nor will anything ever be …
In the end, or rather, as things really are, any event, no matter how small, is intimately and sensibly tied to all others …
And, when all is perceived in such a way as to obviate time, justice becomes apparent not as something that will be, but something that is.

10 Secrets of Love – Secret 10
THE TENTH SECRET – The Power of Trust
Trust is essential in all loving relationships. Without it one person becomes suspicious, anxious and fearful and the other person feels trapped and emotionally suffocated. You cannot love someone completely unless you trust them completely. Act as if your relationship with the person you love will never end. One of the ways you can tell whether a person is right for you is to ask yourself, “Do I trust them completely and unreservedly?” If the answer is “no”, think carefully before making a commitment.
