We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. —Aristotle
There is no future, no past. There is only the present.
A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell on the future.”
-Albert Einstein
Essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
The happiest people are not the ones who achieve the most. They are the ones who spend more time than others in a state of flow.
