"If you look to others for fulfillment,
you will never truly be fulfilled.
If your happiness depends on money,
you will never be happy with yourself."
--Lao Tzu
"Give your attention to the present; give attention to your behavior, to your reactions, moods, thoughts, emotions, fears, and desires as they occur in the present. There’s the past in you in. If you can be present enough to watch all those things, not critically or analytically but non-judgmentally, then you are dealing with the past and dissolving it through the power of your presence. You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You find yourself by coming into the present."
--Eckhart Tolle

"Facts are what we must completely let go of if we want to be happy. We must decide to fly above the turmoil if we really want to fly above it. We must ignore, maturely not immaturely, a whole realm of so-called meaning. As long as our self-identification centers around what we call the real world, no profound happiness is possible. Happiness requires that we give up a worldly orientation—not worldly things but a worldly attachment to things. We have to surrender all outcomes. We have to live here but appreciate the joke."
--Marianne Williamson
