The route to happiness is paved with
gratitude, service to others, community,
forgiveness, and self discipline.
Happiness is not something ready made.
It comes from your own actions.
– Dalai Lama
Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought. Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!
– Lawrence G. Lovasik
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
– Marcus Aurelius
We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of
recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
– Frederick Keonig
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of
living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
– Denis Waitley
Be happy for this moment.
This moment is your life.
– Omar Khayyam
Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you
shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
– Helen Keller
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done,
the zest of creating things new.
– Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Amazing photography from Steve McCurry … as always!! … “Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” – Dalai Lama.
Happiness. What a great subject. As Abraham Lincoln said; “Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

I’ve loved Steve’s photography since the National Geographic issue with the Afghan Girl on the cover in the 1970’s. I’ve managed to collect some prints from the Magnum square print sales and some posters.
Your images are a reminder of the importance of joy, gratitude and community in our lives. Thank you.
Brilhante! Por favor, considere uma exposição no Brasil.
