“If you can be happy for the joy in the lives of others, you will find more joy in your own life. Isn’t that neat? That means that instead of telling you that you first need to work on finding joy in your own life so that you can be happy for others, I’m saying, concentrate on the reverse. Be so incredibly happy for others! Things are going well for them! They are happy! You want them to be happy. You want to contribute to their happiness. It’s much easier this way. Trying to wring joy out of your own life right now might feel a bit like trying to wring sweet Napa Valley wine out of a rotten turnip.”

“What is life truly like—once we strip away all of the story telling and anger and pain? Can we bring ourselves to say, “Thank you for everything; I have no complaint whatsoever”? This doesn’t mean that we should be grateful only because things could be worse (although they could). Nor does it mean that things couldn’t be better. It means, No matter what happens, PERFECT. No matter what happens, thank you!”
