Quotes by Janice Kaplan (?)

“On the off-chance you won't live forever, maybe you should try being happy now.”

“There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.”
― Janice Kaplan, The Gratitude Diaries: How a Year Looking on the Bright Side Can Transform Your Life

3 likes

“I quickly realised that gratitude wasn’t the same as happiness—it has a much deeper resonance. Most of us feel cheered when something nice occurs—a friend sends flowers or we spend an afternoon in the park. But those moments can be fragile and fleeting, and what happens when they’re over? Because it’s not dependent on specific events, gratitude is long lasting and impervious to change or adversity. It requires an active emotional involvement—you can’t be passively grateful, you actually have to stop and feel it, experience the emotion. So it creates an inner richness that’s sustaining in difficult times as well as good ones.”
