I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition. Martha Washington
Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits. Thomas Jefferson
Happiness, peace, calmness, no drama. These are the way of lives we all strive for, long for, design our lives to create the illusion. Yet life happens. There are stresses. There are arguments, fights, heartaches, yes there is pain. We find ourselves in situations not of our own making, that anger us. Yet each day, at the end of the day, or in the middle of the situation at hand, if we can go to bed, knowing we were honest, we did what we believed with all our heart was right, then we have peace, happiness. When we can look at everything we do, perhaps yes, we do make mistakes, or we do things out of anger, hurt, then later regret, but if we work hard to try to resolve the situation, we can be happy in ourselves. No one can say words to us that bring us to unhappiness, no one can take actions that hurt us, if we don’t let it destroy our faith in ourselves. Becoming the rock in the middle of the storm, keeping your mind clear, not letting others tell us that we are not good, or being what others want us to be. We have to be what the spirit tells us to be. Then we will be happy, we will be the rock in the center of the storm.
