Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude_ Denis Waitley

Happiness is a decision and so as Love. If you decide to be happy then you're happy. If you decide to love then you love. ― Ann Marie Aguilar
