“We need to learn how to want what we have NOT to have what we want in order to get steady and stable Happiness”

“There are only two ways to experience joy and peace of mind in relationships; we either get what we want or we learn to be happy with what we have.”

“most of us, as we undergo the growing up process, do not get what we want or even what we should. We get what we have, and no more, and we find out how to make what we have work for us.”

“The mere possibility of getting what we want fills the soul of the ordinary person with guilt. We look around at all those who have failed to get what they want and feel that we do not deserve to get what we want either. We forget about all the obstacles we overcame, all the suffering we endured, all the things we had to give up in order to get this far...”

“We may not get what we want, when we want. But with a bit of perseverance and a lot of patience, we can get what we need.”

“Human beings are remarkable - at what we can learn to live with. If we couldn't get strong from what we lose, and what we miss, and what we want and can't have, then we couldn't ever get strong enough, could we? What else makes us strong?”
