I like reading Tim Ferriss’ blog because I always learn something new and the post he had Monday was no exception. He published a guest post from Ryan Holiday called Stoicism 101: A Practical Guide for Entrepreneurs that is well-written and worth reading. It’ll take a few minutes to read so give yourself some time to read […]
Seize This Very Minute!
Lose this day loitering, Twill be the same story Tomorrow — and the next more dilatory. Then indecision brings its own delays, and days are lost lamenting over days! Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute! What you can do, or dream you can –begin it! Courage has genius, power, and magic in it. […]
Have A Good Laugh
Having a good laugh can certainly boost your happiness power. It’s pretty well known that laughter is a huge benefit to your health. Although it’s already the middle of April, it’s not too late to mention that April is National Humor Month. So give yourself a good laugh. Watch a comedy, read some jokes, get […]
Let Happiness Follow You
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. –Buddha

The Meaning Of Life
Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning. –Joseph Campbell
Be Happiness
I’ve written a number of times, and posted quotations, pointing out that happiness isn’t something that comes from getting things or having a particular thing happen for you. Happiness is something that has to be part of your being. And it’s elusive in that if you try to grasp it you’ll find it slipping away. […]
We Have Just One Day
I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it. –Groucho Marx

As we go through the day it seems really easy to notice when things go wrong: the traffic light turns red, we get the wrong item at the drive-thru, someone cuts us off in traffic, the cell phone drops a call. Do you notice when things go right? Probably not. Most of us don’t, but we […]
