About happiness

[…] We can’t give happiness to anyone else. But by nurturing our own thoughts, and sprinkling that sense of possibility in the world around us, we might show them how things can be. When you choose to do the things you love, and to focus on how fortunate you are to be able to do those things; when you live your day with a sense of wonder, awe and self-acceptance; when you let other people be a part of it - you’re not just creating your own happiness: you’re showing other people it is possible.
