Quote from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi:
It is as if evolution has built a safety device in our nervous system that allows us to experience full happiness only when we are living at 100%--when we are fully using the physical and mental equipment we have been given.

If we agree that the bottom line of life is happiness, not success, then it makes perfect sense to say that it is the journey that counts, not reaching the destination.

...in the words of Max DePree: "Management has a lot to do with answers. But leadership is a function of questions. And the first question for a leader always is: 'Who do we intend to be?' Not 'What are we going to do?' but 'Who do we intend to be?'"

Success is a learnable skill. You can learn to succeed at anything. If you want to be a great golfer, you can learn how to do it. If you want to be a great piano player, you can learn how to do it. If you want to be truly happy, you can learn how to do it. If you want to be rich, you can learn how to do it. It doesn’t matter where you are right now. It doesn’t matter where you’re starting from. What matters is that you are willing to learn.

Attention is psychic energy, and like physical energy, unless we allocate some part of it to the task at hand, no work gets done.
Gretta Brooker Palmer
Happiness is a by-product of an effort to make someone else happy.
Oscar Levant
Happiness is not something you experience, it is something you remember.
Ayn Rand
Don't help me or serve me, but let me see it once, because I need it. Don't work for my happiness, my brothers—show me yours—show me that it is possible—show me your achievement—and the knowledge will give me the courage for mine. Mallory (the young artist) to Roark in "The Fountainhead"
Irish Proverb
It is not the big mansion that makes the happy home.
