Every day, I share carefully selected inspiring quotes and my motivational insights on having a positive attitude and living a happy life in my Daily Inspiration, which is available on-line, and by email through a free subscription.

Happiness is not about the events of our lives, but about our emotional reactions to those events. Our responses are partly genetic and partly cultural. Over the years, these emotional patterns have become bad habits, but the great news is that the habit of unhappiness can be broken.
You too can learn to break the bad habit of being unhappy. Find peace and spiritual comfort. Be a happy person again. Heal the hurt.
