Satisfaction begins when comparison end

"I sometimes have the habit of comparing my life to others. Whether it's that my friends went on a wonderful vacation, someone I know bought a new home or whatever. I need to learn to be happy with what I have. And to remember that I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful healthy boy."

It's not the weight of the load that brings you down -- it's how you carry it

"I read this years ago while I was struggling as a single parent. Then and now, it helps me to redirect my thinking when I feel that the load is getting too heavy to bear."

To the world, you may be just one person but to one person you may be the world

"This motto reminds me of how much I mean to my husband of almost 31 years. I know that I am lucky to have someone who cherishes me the way he does."

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It mean you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.

"This motto means everything to me. I have it in my kitchen and I read it everyday. It reminds me to appreciate the people and things in my life. I am divorced and work full-time with a son at home. I work in a factory up to 65 hours a week to provide for my son and myself. The housework sometimes has to wait for the weekends. I live in a house that was built sometime in the early 1820's so something is always going wrong. Now that I make the bacon, fry it in a pan and wash it - it is hard sometimes for me to be both a man and a woman. It reminds me that even though we don't have what some may call a "perfect" life - we are happy. Truly happy."
