❝The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.❞
- Vince Lombardi (via creatingaquietmind)
❝The belief that unhappiness is selfless and happiness is selfish is misguided. It’s more selfless to act happy. It takes energy, generosity, and discipline to be unfailingly lighthearted, yet everyone takes the happy person for granted. No one is careful of his feelings or tries to keep his spirits high. He seems self-sufficient; he becomes a cushion for others. And because happiness seems unforced, that person usually gets no credit.❞
- Gretchen Rubin (via danseurs)
❝She felt as if she’d always been holding a part of herself back, saving it, and she had a terrible fear she would end up saving it forever. That she would die with whole parts of herself unused.❞
- Penelope Williamson (via enamoras)
