Something I know to be true for me

Aren't people's actions the best interpreters of their thoughts?

If we cultivate the ability to think happy thoughts, then that is what we will be. Where is your happy place?

There is nothing wrong with visualizing yourself there. Call it escapism, call it daydreaming, call it what you will. Let it interfere with your ability to be productive. Go there when you're not supposed to, and sometimes, if you can, take your physical body with you.

Maybe that place is but a state of mind, grounded on thoughtlessness, but we do have to choose to go there.

No matter what you've been through, or how much you're still working on, sometimes it is just that simple. It's something that nobody can take away from you, no matter your degree of privilege or freedom.

"Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age."

~Christopher Morley.

"There are only two kinds of freedom in the world; the freedom of the rich and powerful, and the freedom of the artist and the monk who renounces possessions."

~Anais Nin.

"What's money? A person is success if they get up in the morning and go to bed at night and in between does what they want to do."

~ Bob Dylan
