Where Happiness Can Be Found

The Lilac Road Blog Man Grey Beanie Pink Sunset Ocean

And they keep asking me where happiness can be found, but I’m no longer trying to find happiness. I just appreciate where I am and then happiness finds me.

I Have To Go Away

January 6, 2020

The Lilac Road Blog Woman Sitting On Beach Sand Yellow Bikini White Shirt Straw Hart

I have to go away. I have to go back to integrity and self-love and what I truly believe in, to lightness, warmth, taking responsibility for yourself. I have to stop trying to win your approval.
Kate Christensen, from a letter to Jeremy Throne written c. January 1987

"Introverts may have strong social skills and enjo "Introverts may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions." —#SusanCain, #Quiet #Introverts

All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes and in that part of your chest that gets empty and hollow feeling. The happiness of love turns to sadness when unspent. Grief is just love with no place to go." —allmylooseends.com

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything "To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." —#CSLewis, #TheFourLoves

You need slow, quiet activities that ground you and remind you to accept yourself in spite of huge obstacles and bad thoughts. You need to put solutions out of your mind for now and engage in activities that have nothing to do with your ego. You need habits that strengthen your patience and focus, but also feel real and not arbitrary. You need to abandon your glorious future and build your imperfect present instead." —#AskPolly: “I’m Lazy, Reckless and Addicted To Social Media. Help!” #SelfCare

I will not spread news that I do not know to be certain and will not criticize or condemn things of which I am not sure. I will refrain from uttering words that can cause division or discord, or words that can cause the family or the community to break." —#ThichNhatHanh #YourWordsMatter
