Gayle Forman Quotes

The reason you want every single thing that you want, is because you think you will feel really good when you get there. But, if you don't feel really good on your way to there, you can't get there. You have to be satisfied with what-is while you're reaching for more.

Happiness isn't wanting what you can get, but wanting what you have.

The life you want begins by embracing the life you have.

Without gratitude and appreciation for what you already have, you’ll never know true fulfillment.

If we do not feel grateful for what we already have, what makes us think we'd be happy with more.

We could never have guessed We were already blessed where we are.

You can be happy where you are.

People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future.

Happiness doesn't depend on how much you have to enjoy, but how much you enjoy what you have.

Don't think you're going to be happy when you get something. You have to be happy on your way to happy.

There's only one reason why you're not experiencing bliss at this present moment, and it's because you're thinking or focusing on what you don't have....But, right now you have everything you need to be in bliss.

Being joyful isn't what makes you grateful. Being grateful is what makes you joyful.

As long as we think our lives are not good enough (materially), we will not have happiness. As soon as we realize our lives are good enough, happiness immediately appears. That is the practice of contentment.

I don't think goal setting is an important basis for a retail business - or for anyone. Most of the time goal setting puts too much energy and attention on being someplace else, instead of helping you appreciate where you are.If I ran a retail store, which I have done in my life, I would go into it from a place of "I am thrilled to be here, and I am honored to be able to serve other people." I would not be telling myself constantly that I have to double my sales in order for me to be happy. I would tell myself, "I am content to be here in this moment, and I love this work."

Be satisfied with what you have.

It's possible to be thankful wherever you find yourself.

When you start noticing even a small portion of all there is to be grateful for, you'll find there is no room for lack, hurt, or want. The attitude of gratitude: the great, full feeling.

Too often, we spend our days thinking about what we don't have rather than what we do have. Be grateful every day.

Think of what you have rather than of what you lack. Of the things you have, select the best and then reflect how eagerly you would have sought them if you did not have them.

People who live the most fulfilling lives are the ones who are always rejoicing at what they have.

I'm grateful for everything I have. I'm grateful for it all. I'm grateful for love most of all because I have a lot of it in my life.

What I have come to believe is that joy is the twin sister of gratitude. I am most joyful when I am most grateful.

If you think there's something you need in order to be happy, then you believe in lack. Then believing you lack, you will create more lack.

You'll never meet a happy ungrateful person, or an unhappy grateful person because gratitude and happiness go together. Sometimes happiness precedes gratitude but often gratitude precedes happiness. The latter is achieved by realising things could be worse but aren't and so feeling relieved, grateful and happy.

I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
