1 " If you make a decision that from here onward you will give the majority of your attention to happy thoughts, you will begin a process of purifying your body. Those happy thoughts will supply your body with the greatest health-booster you could possibly give it.There are endless excuses not to be happy. But if you put happiness off by saying " I'll be happy when..." you'll not only be delaying happiness for the rest of your life, you'll also be diminishing the health of your body. Happiness is your body's miracle elixir, so be happy NOW, no excuses! "
2 " Like most humanoids, I am burdened with what the Buddhists call the " monkey mind" --the thoughts that swing from limb to limb, stopping only to scratch themselves, spit and howl. From the distant past to the unknowable future, my mind swings wildly through time, touching on dozens of ideas a minute, unharnessed and undisciplined. This in itself is not necessarily a problem; the problem is the emotional attachment that goes along with the thinking. Happy thoughts make me happy, but-whoop!-how quickly I swing again into obsessive worry, blowing the mood; and then it's all over again; and then my mind decides it might be a good time to start feeling sorry for itself, and loneliness follows promptly. You are, after all, what you think. Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions. "
3 " I think happy thoughts and feel happy things and I do not let myself near the swirling black edges of the hole that is my soul when I look at them. "
― Kiersten White , Perfect Lies (Mind Games, #2)
4 " The best way for a person to have happy thoughts is to count his blessings and not his cash. "
