Deborah Norville Quotes

If I need a pick-me-up, I pull up a memo file on my phone and type in three things I'm grateful for. The things I've typed on other days are still there. It's a long list. Always helps.

Contemplate the good things in your life and be grateful for them.

The thought has cheered me, and I'd like to hang onto that. Must protect my little pockets of happiness.

It's the easiest thing in the world to be down about anything. I think the body responds to good vibes.

Strive to find things to be thankful for, and just look for the good in who you are!

We all have our down days, but it's not hard to smile and say, 'Thank you.'

Happiness is the first principle of life. Happiness basically means well-being. It is always good and always a choice... We need to make the choice to be happy in a particular situation, just as it is, and at a given moment.

I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.

If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment.

One of the best ways to make yourself happy in the present is to recall happy times from the past. Photos are a great memory-prompt, and because we tend to take photos of happy occasions, they weight our memories to the good.

I think you can be depressed and flourish, I think you can have cancer and flourish, I think you can be divorced and flourish. When we believed that happiness was only smiling and good mood, that wasn't very good for people like me, people in the lower half of positive affectivity.

I've realized I can't waste any moment being unhappy.

I stay positive, keep positive energy to myself.

I try to be as positive a person as possible.

I know that there are other sides to life. All the more reason why I now try to convey to the people out there how important it is to feel a sense of joy.

I just want to focus on the positive things in my life.

What you feel inside reflects on your face. So be happy and positive all the time.

What annoys me most is it is so easy to focus on negatives all the time. All you hear is a lot of people - whether it is industry leaders or politicians - complaining about everything. I don't deny things are not always perfect, but the stage it gets is huge compared with the simple things that make people happy, like winning a football match.

I choose to focus on the positive.

I always say just stay positive. If you ever get down on yourself, try to find something that takes away that negative. Always find that positive area.

Counting blessings is better than recounting problems

You have all the tools right now to make this day, this moment, happy. The best of these tools is love.

Gratitude always comes into play; research shows that people are happier if they are grateful for the positive things in their lives, rather than worrying about what might be missing.

Stop what you are doing long enough to enjoy the sunset, listen to a special song that lifts you up, or pick up the phone and share some special thought with a caring friend.

There's no sense in making life seem like it's a struggle, because that doesn't make anybody feel better.
