"Decide to be happy today,
to live with what is yours:
your family, your business,
your job, your luck.
If you can’t have what you like,
maybe you can like what you have.
Just for today, be kind, cheerful, agreeable, responsible, caring and understanding.
Be your best, dress your best, talk softly,
look for the bright side of things.
Praise people for what they do and
don’t criticize them for what they cannot do.
If someone does something stupid,
forgive and forget.
After all,
it’s just for one day."
– Ripples Project

"It is important to understand how much your own happiness is linked to that of others. There is no individual happiness totally independent of others."
– Dalai Lama
