If you have lost your true self, all phenomena brings you nothing but annoyance. If you discover your essence of mind, you can follow nothing but the true path.

Each day in life is training. Training for myself, though failure is possible. Living each moment, equal to anything, ready for everything. I am alive, I am this moment, my future is here and now. For if I cannot endure today, when and where will I?

Happy people aren't happy because they have the best of everything, but because they make the best of everything they have.

Conviene reir sin esperar a ser dichoso, no sea que nos sorprenda la muerte sin haber reido.
(It's better to laugh without waiting to be happy, it would be a shame if death should come about before ever having laughed)

For some reason, the song "Shiny Happy People" is going through my mind now. Thanks
The Irish one couldn't describe them more perfectly!
Paulita: Haven't heard that song yet... thank heavens for iTunes store!!! ;)
Kyle: I know!! The Irish really are the happiest of people, so you know you can take their sayings seriously... another one I love is: "May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live" -- Irish Blessing.
