I love quotes. As anybody who I am lucky enough to have as a Facebook friend will know. This morning I read a quote that impacted me a bit:
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
Charles Kingsley
Wow. That makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it? Quotes like this really remind you what is important, don’t they?
Don’t feel bad if you don’t really think you follow this bit of wisdom. I have to be reminded from time to time myself.
A couple of things to be enthusiastic about or help you be enthusiastic? Reading a good book. Genuinely helping people. Love. Succeeding a goal you have set for yourself. Brain teaser or puzzle to keep the mind exercised. Exercise for the body, too.
These are just a few of the actions that can help you be happy.
