Nobody owns his/her happiness except him/herself

because of this, never

entrust your happiness, your peace, your life in anybody’s

hand,

. . . absolutely never.

We are free—no one possesses us

and we cannot wish to be the possessors of the desires, the willingness or the dreams of one who is of no significance.

The meaningfulness of your life is your very own self.

Your inner peace is your life’s very

purpose.

When your soul feels empty, when you think something is still

lacking, even if it seems you have everything,

reserve your thoughts for your

most intimate desires and pursue the

divinity that is found in your own reality.

Quit searching for your daily happiness in places farther from your own

self!

Don’t set your purpose too distant from your hands;

embrace those you can reach today.

If you are preoccupied with problems in finances, love or

family ,

look inwards for the peaceful solution, for you are the reflection of your daily

ruminations.

Refrain from having negative thoughts about yourself and always be your own

best friend !

To smile is to commend, to acknowledge, to

facilitate.

Hence, let there be a smile of harmony for the world

enthusiastic to offer you the best!

With a smile on your face, people will see the best in

you,

and you will be acepted as you are , for you have gotten to

the closest point of happiness . . .

Labor, labor more for your own betterment.

Never think of achieving happiness without sweating for it.

Refrain from asking others to provide you

with anything that you have not gained for

yourself.

Criticize less; work more.

And never forget to be grateful.

In each moment of your life, be thankful for everything ,

even for the painful experiences .

Our understanding of the universe is so

limited to give us the right to judge the

meaningfulness of life.

Greatness is not reckoned in the

acceptance of honors;

it is something deserved.

Music– Zorba The Greek
