More From Eleanor Roosevelt

Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.
Life Happiness Depression
A few really dedicated people can offset the masses of out of harmony people, so we who work for peace must not falter, we must continue to pray for peace and to act for peace in whatever way we can. we must continue to speak for peace and to live the way of peace; to inspire others, we must continue to think of peace and know that peace is possible. what we dwell upon we help bring to manifestation. one little person giving all of her time to peace makes news. many people giving some of their time can make history.

It’s a new year and with it comes a fresh opportunity to shape our world. so this is my wish, a wish for me as much as it is a wish for you: in the world to come, let us be brave – let us walk into the dark without fear, and step into the unknown with smiles on our faces, even if we’re faking them. and whatever happens to us, whatever we make, whatever we learn, let us take joy in it. we can find joy in the world if it’s joy we’re looking for, we can take joy in the act of creation. so that is my wish for you, and for me. bravery and joy.
New Year Dark Opportunity
Joy is not the same as pleasure or happiness. a wicked and evil man may have pleasure, while any ordinary mortal is capable of being happy. pleasure generally comes from things, and always through the senses; happiness comes from humans through fellowship. joy comes from loving god and neighbor. pleasure is quick and violent, like a flash of lightning. joy is steady and abiding, like a fixed star. pleasure depends on external circumstances, such as money, food, travel, etc. joy is independent of them, for it comes from a good conscience and love of god.

I think we all mistake certain things for happiness. i think we mistake comfort for happiness and we mistake pleasure for happiness, and entertainment for happiness, when really these are just things we use as proxies for our happiness. we use them to cheer us up or try and achieve brief happiness, when really happiness is something much more profound and long lasting and exists within us.
Cheer Mistake Thinking
Over the past year i'vediscovered if you keep on giving and giving, you end up losing yourself. i think that learning to give and receive is the trick. perfect happiness is also a feeling, and the most amazing thing is that we were all born with the gift to make it happen in a heartbeat. putting on certainmusic, reading something can make us feel a certain way. i think the key to happiness is allowing ourselves to not feel bad or guilty for feeling it, and letting it be contagious. and to not be dependent on other people to create your own happiness.

Attitude Reading Past
He was so excited by this little bit of intelligence that he might have gone off, perplexed, pondering for a long time. it was like reading a wonderful sentence in a book, and not being able to continue because so many possibilities were crowding his mind.
