Joyful Living Quotes

“The more you talk about it, rehash it, rethink it, cross analyze it, debate it, respond to it, get paranoid about it, compete with it, complain about it, immortalize it, cry over it, kick it, defame it, stalk it, gossip about it, pray over it, put it down or dissect its motives it continues to rot in your brain. It is dead. It is over. It is gone. It is done. It is time to bury it because it is smelling up your life and no one wants to be near your rotted corpse of memories and decaying attitude. Be the funeral director of your life and bury that thing!”
― Shannon L. Alder

“Never surrender your hopes and dreams to the fateful limitations others have placed on their own lives. The vision of your true destiny does not reside within the blinkered outlook of the naysayers and the doom prophets. Judge not by their words, but accept advice based on the evidence of actual results. Do not be surprised should you find a complete absence of anything mystical or miraculous in the manifested reality of those who are so eager to advise you. Friends and family who suffer the lack of abundance, joy, love, fulfillment and prosperity in their own lives really have no business imposing their self-limiting beliefs on your reality experience.”
― Anthon St. Maarten

“मौन धारण गर। व्यर्थ बकवास नगर। आत्म प्रशंसाको त्याग गर। शान्ति नै महान् पुरुषहरूको उत्तम लक्षण हो। प्रत्येक कार्य शान्तिपूर्वक गर। आफ्ना इच्छाहरूलाई आफ्नो अधिन गर। कहिल्यै उत्तेजित नहोउ, यसबाट विचार शक्ति निर्बल र मन्द हुन जान्छ। जो शान्त, एकाग्र चित्तले प्रतिदिनका कार्यहरूलाई गर्दछ, त्यसलाई अल्पकालमा र अल्प परिश्रमबाट गर्न सकिन्छ र उसको सारा दिन आनन्दमा व्यतित हुन्छ। स-साना कुरामा उत्तेजित हुनाले मनको शान्ति भङ्ग भएर शरीरलाई बडो हानि पुग्छ र अल्प आयुमा मृत्यु हुन जान्छ।”

“The Wayfarer.

Let me be an innocent wayfarer traversing the roads of life without preconceived notions.
Without an ounce of anger toward the men I meet along the way
Without judging them for who they are
Embracing everyone as equals
Lending a helping hand to needy
Cherishing whatever little love bestowed upon me.
Carrying with me only the fragrance of the best moments
Let me walk unhindered by emotions.
My joy shall come from the walk itself rather than from the expectations in my mind.
My joy shall soar from every step taken.
Let me be the humble wanderer in nature’s abode.
Loving all, living every moment
I shall not differentiate pleasure and pain, for they are brothers entwined.
I shall not worry while I’m teary-eyed.
I shall not hurry while I’m fury-eyed.
Patience and silence—the two essentials of eternal wisdom
I shall master them or die trying while I walk the promenade of life!”
― Udayakumar D.S., FT Legacy 1: Who is Frank Twine?
