    “Our ultimate aim in seeking more wealth is a sense of satisfaction, of happiness.  But the very basis of seeking more is a feeling of not having enough, a feeling of discontentment.  That feeling of discontentment, of wanting more and more and more, doesn’t arise from the inherent desirability of the objects we are seeking but rather from our own mental state.” ~ Dalai Lama, The Art of Happiness

      “Today there are societies that are very developed materially, yet among them there are many people who are not very happy.  Just underneath the beautiful surface of affluence there is a kind of mental unrest, leading to frustration, unnecessary quarrels, reliance on drugs or alcohol, and in the worst case, suicide.  So there is no guarantee that wealth alone can give you the joy or fulfillment that you are seeking.” ~ Dalai Lama, The Art of Happiness

        “Happiness is a state of inner fulfillment, not the gratification of inexhaustible desires for outward things.” ~ Matthieu Ricard

          “Half the confusion in the world comes from not knowing how little we need.” ~ Admiral Richard E. Byrd

          If a little is good, more is better. Or is it?

            If a little is good, more is better. Or is it?

            Picture Quote Text:

            “There is a popular heresy abroad today which states that if a little is good, more is better.  Following this dictum creates a life which is never fulfilling.  Even while you are engaged in one rich experience you are looking about for another.  There is no contentment because future plans are always intruding on the present.” ~ Robert A. Johnson, She

              “Many people know what they want to have, but have no idea of who they want to be. Getting ‘things’ simply will not fulfill you. Only living and doing what you believe is ‘the right thing’ will give you that sense of inner strength that we all deserve.” ~ Anthony Robbins, Awaken the Giant Within
