When people lose their jobs, they are losing not only their livelihood, but a powerful source of meaning."Emily Esfahani-Smith

Some happy people may appear outwardly cheerful or transparently serene, and others are simply busy. In other words, we all have the potential to be happy, each in our own way."Sonja Lyubomirsky

Make these habits consistent with your aim. If you skip a day, be sure to pick it up the next day."Scott Allan
