“Not having the best situation, but seeing the best in your situation is the key to happiness. Your potential is limitless” Marie Forleo
Happiness lies not in having the best circumstances, but in finding the good in them. Your potential is limitless. There are few of us who can find happiness in what we already have. Often we may look to others and our neighbors, and in doing this we cut ourselves off from happiness.
Although everyone has limitless ambitions, it can be difficult to fulfill all of them and become happy. Positive thinking, patience, and perseverance must produce an end result, which in itself is happiness. These exemplary qualities must be cultivated by every mentor and passed on to the next generation. Happiness is a mental state as well.
Maria Forleo, born December 7, 1975, is an entrepreneur from the United States. Her advice books, ‘Everything is Figureoutable’ and ‘Make Every Man Want You’ are New York Times bestsellers. Forleo, according to Harper's Bazaar, started her career ‘serving drinks, cleaning toilets, and waiting tables’ as well as hip-hop dancing.
Marie Forleo International was founded in 2010 by her. She has also founded a program called B-School that has helped over 55,000 people in 148 countries with their small businesses. She became a successful entrepreneur from humble beginnings, and her success brought smiles and happiness to thousands of people.
In short, Marie Forleo's positive, optimistic, and energetic perspective on life is a revelation to our students and teachers but is also a key to our own lives. In education, the happiness curriculum and happiness-oriented methodologies are far developed than a decade ago. Life is beautiful. It’s a gift from Almighty. Being happy and making happy are lifelong mantras for all.
Those words, from the American minister and author of the bestseller 'Positive Thinking', Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993) are very apt to end this note. You can achieve happiness if you keep your heart free of hate, your mind free of worry, live simply, expect little, give much, scatter sunshine, forget yourself, and think of others.
“The way to happiness; keep your heart free from hate, your mind free from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, scatter sunshine, forget self, and think of others.”
Have a blessed day.
