If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

Just go right along
Out there things can happen, and frequently do, to people as brainy and footsy as you. And when things start to happen, don’t worry. Don’t stew. Just go right along. You’ll start happening too.
Oh, the places you’ll go!
Dr. Seuss
Life unfolds in a lot of different ways. Just live your life and enjoy every bit of it.
Go with the flow, let things happen and let yourself happen. Let the universe unfold itself.
In short: Enjoy the ride, it’s the only one you have and it’s a damn fun one (If you let it)!

Enjoy the new year to the fullest!
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful. And don’t forget to make some art (write, draw or build or sing or live as only you can) and somewhere in the next year, I hope you suprise yourself.

New Year’s resolution
People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
Mother Theresa
And a happy new year to all of you!

Your comfort zone – abandon it!
Are you really happy or just really comfortable?
There is a difference. It seems very little to the comfortable person, but every happy person knows how huge the gap between happiness and just being comfortable actually is.
Staying in a cozy home every day, avoiding risks and therefore chances might seem like happiness to many, especially in our high-tech world.
But truth be told: You will only feel alive when you go out there and explore. Take risks, take chances, meet new people, embrace random encounters, be open towards new cultures, live with an open mind. It takes courage and strenght but it pays off and can be done step by step.
You would not want to waste your life in your comfort zone. Comfort zone is good, but who wants good, if he can have thrillingly exciting, adrenaline pumping happy?
Go out there!

PS: Nothing against a comfy, cozy home, in fact, you should make your home the perfect hang-out place. Just don’t rest on your laurels once youre done pay attention that your home does not become you life.
From business to happiness
What do all happy people have in common? They are busy! They are busy working, meditating, playing games or just living life. They are not constantly searching for happiness, they do what they love and that’s how they get happy.
Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

Do you want to escape your life?
Instead of wondering where your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don’t need to escape from.
Seth Godin
I don’t mean this as a critic on traveling or vacations in general. You just have to make sure that those vacations are not the only things that keep you sane and happy.
Your life should be sufficient to make you happy, vacations should not be necessary but optional. Once this yearly vacation starts to be the only reason keeping you sane and calm, there is a lot wrong. Don’t go there, work on your life where you are living right now!

You are what you think
What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.
Wayne Dyer
What you think especially changes how things happen to you.
How you react with your environment and how you percieve situations is the key to a happy life.
