"Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is." -Maxim Gorky
If you are able to capture and hold happiness in your life, holding it to yourself, eventually the flame that lights it will go out. But if you share your happiness with others, it will spread like the rising sun across the landscape.
Enjoy your weekend and spread your happiness with others.

Easter Greetings
“Love. What is love? No word can define it, it's something so great, only God could design it. Yes, love is beyond, what man can define, for love is immortal, and God's gift is divine.” -Unknown Author

Comfort Of Others
“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.” -Unknown Author
When life throws us a challenge, there are never enough of the right words one can say. Whether it be the loss of a job, a troubled child, or news of a health crisis; the ability to simply care for each other is our greatest strength as human beings.
Life will cause changes in your life and give you challenges to overcome. The one thing we can do though is to comfort and care for those in need. So my wish for you is just what is quoted above.

Belief In Self
"Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy." -Norman Vincent Peale
I have heard so many times the phrase, "I can't do that" or "I'm not good enough." Both of these phrases are self-defeating. While it is good to know and understand our own limitations, we tend to under estimate ourselves far more often.
There are those that will attempt to live on the 'faith' of others in our own ability. You can do this for a short amount of time, but eventually you have to obtain your own faith in yourself. Otherwise, you can not sustain the path that you've embarked on.
In the clinical sense, faith in oneself is called self-esteem. Without this component of our personality, you can go through life feeling bad about yourself needlessly. Low self-esteem keeps you from enjoying life, doing the things you want to do, and working toward personal goals.
All of this is very important as it impacts how you think, act and even how you relate to other people. It impacts your potential to be successful. It additionally has a direct bearing on your happiness and well being.
Find ways to believe in your self - read books, research the Internet, get around others that believe in you and find out why they do. Then get a new attitude about you and start believing in you.
