James E. Faust Quotes

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now.

Enjoy thankfully any happy hour heaven may send you, nor think that your delights will keep till another year.

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.

We live from day to day and get as much joy out of experiencing as we can.

I think it's important to find the little things in everyday life that make you happy.

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

Sometimes I need people around me to remind me, to keep enjoying the small things.

I just try to enjoy each day.

Choosing to be grateful earns you happiness

It isn't the great big pleasures that count the most; it's making a great deal out of the little ones--I've discovered the true secret of happiness, Daddy, and that is to live in the now. Not to be for ever regretting the past, or anticipating the future; but to get the most that you can out of this very instant.

Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

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

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

[I] never talk about gratitude and joy separately, for this reason. In 12 years, I've never interviewed a single person who would describe their lives as joyful, who would describe themselves as joyous, who was not actively practicing gratitude.

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.

Out of all the things you could not have there were some things that you could have and one of those was to know when you were happy and to enjoy all of it while it was there and it was good.

I have lived large parts of my life in wonderful circumstances that I utterly failed to appreciate. Reasons to be happy were everywhere, but somehow I didn't connect with them. It was as though I was eating but couldn't taste the food. Finally, I've learned to celebrate the good while it's happening. I feel gratitude and praise today for what are sometimes such simple pleasures. I have learned that happiness is not determined by circumstances. Happiness is not what happens when everything goes the way you think it should go; happiness is what happens when you decide to be happy.

The more thankful you are, the happier you will be!

People get too caught up in what they don't have and get bogged down as a result. There's joy in the present. It's important to just make the most of the these moments we have. Keep an eye on the future, but don't forget to enjoy NOW.

The happy man is he who turns his soul Unto the light of joys that he can find; And pays each day its just demand of toll, But shuts the future troubles from his mind.

Don't evaluate your life in terms of achievements, trivial or monumental, along the way... Instead, wake up and appreciate everything you encounter along your path. Enjoy the flowers that are there for your pleasure. Tune in to the sunrise, the little children, the laughter, the rain, and the birds. Drink it all in... there is no way to happiness; happiness is the way.

Gratitude is a soil on which joy thrives.

Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it.

Do we find happiness so often that we should turn it off the box when it happens to sit there?

Be grateful for each moment we have and be happy, but more than anything live it fully.
