Barbara de Angelis Quotes

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

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

If we're not enjoying what we've got...and even if we do get 'more,' we won't enjoy that, either.

Joy is not the result of getting what you want; it is the way to get what you want. In the deepest sense, joy is what you want.

It's so much easier to be happy. It's so much easier to choose to love the things that you have, instead of always yearning for what you're missing, or what it is that you're imagining you're missing. It is so much more peaceful.

May we never let the things we can't have or don't have or shouldn't have spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have.

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

I do feel as if I'm living a blessed life at the moment. I've been thinking about the phrase 'living a dream,' because that's exactly what is happening. I'm just trying to go with the flow and take each day as it comes, otherwise I might freak out at all the things that have happened recently.

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.

That man is never happy for the present is so true, that all his relief from unhappiness is only forgetting himself for a little while. Life is a progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment.

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

About being grateful for what you have instead of yearning for what you think you want.

Contentment is the result of a limited imagination.

I sometimes get caught up in the big goals...That aren't really the ultimate goal, which is to be happy for what you have.

Human happiness konsists in having what yu want, and wanting what yu have.

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.

We need to learn how to want what we have NOT to have what we want in order to get steady and stable Happiness

Happiness isn't getting what you want, it's wanting what you got.

The future doesn't matter if I don't enjoy what's going on right now.

You can be happy where you are.
