I never wanted to be rich or successful or famous. I just wanted to be happy and have fun.
No, my son, do not aspire for wealth and labor not only to be rich. Strive instead for happiness, to be loved and to love, and most important to acquire peace of mind and serenity.
Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.
NOTHING which life has to offer is worth the price of worry
Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money.
You are very easily exasperated, my dear. If you're a leaf trembling on a wide, deep river, relax and ride the current. It's always worked for me, I assure you.
Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.
Fear and impatience demagnetize. Poise magnetizes.
Maybe it's just a personal thing, but I get so much grounding from Iceland because I know it's always going to be there. I have a very happy, healthy relationship with the country, so it's really easy to go everywhere because I always have Iceland to go back to.

If you cannot find peace in yourself, it is useless to look for it elsewhere.
Hatred, jealousy, and fear hinder peace of mind. When you're angry or unforgiving, for example, your mental suffering is constant. It is better to forgive than to spoil your peace of mind with ill feelings.
When life doesn't make sense, we can still have peace.
Contentment is natural wealth.
Term Life Insurance is the only insurance I recommend. It's the least expensive way to get the coverage your family needs and allows you to lock in rates for 15, 20 or 30 years. Zander's online quoting system will help you find the most competitive options. It's more affordable than you think!
My opinion is that you never find happiness until you stop looking for it.

Asked, Who is the rich man? Epictetus replied, �He who is content.
Financial freedom is freedom from fear.
One of the marks of a life well lived has to be reaching a state of finally getting it, of not needing more, and of being able to sign off with something approaching peace of mind.
