Thought

When you arise in the morning, think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love. Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them. The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts. You have power over your mind—not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. Waste no more time arguing about what a good person should be. Be one.

– Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Quote

David Steindl-Rast on simplicity: 

“Joy is the happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens.”
