Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you.” <strong>Ralph Marston</strong></p> <p>“If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help someone else.” <strong>Chinese proverb</strong></p> <p>“It’s not the reality which shapes us, the lens which your brain views the world shapes your reality and if we can change the lens, not only can we change your happiness, we can change every single business and educational outcome at the same time.” <strong>Shawn Achor</strong></p> <p>“Other research supports this mindset, and has found that older adults are better about letting go of past failures. They tend to realize how life is short and they are more likely to pay more attention on what makes them happy now,” <strong>Dr. Robert Waldinger</strong></p> <p>“Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.” <strong>Earl Nightingale</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>If you would like to help Sprinkled with Hope to continue to produce great content with great guests and you feel inclined to help you can contribute here: https://anchor.fm/shane074/support</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/shane074/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/shane074/support</a>
