“If one's life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness.

And finally, there is an intense delight in abandoning faulty states of mind and in cultivating helpful ones in meditation.”
Dalai Lama

Plato
“It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves not only for what you are now but for what you have the power to become. Trust in the Lord as He leads you along. He has things for you to do that you won't know about now but that will unfold later. If you stay close to Him, You will have some great adventures. You will live in a time where instead of sometimes being fulfilled, many of them will actually be fulfilled. The Lord will unfold your future bit by bit.”
Neal A. Maxwell
