What does it really mean to put yourself first? It means liking yourself. It means trusting yourself. It means not bossing yourself around, because if you’re bossing yourself aroung, it’s the boss, not you, who comes first. It means taking care of yourself, in every sense of the word.

Jacob, over at sensophy.com recently posted this awesome picture on facebook and I had to share it with you guys:
My job often requires being up pretty early or working pretty late. While this fact can be tiresome, I always look forward to new tasks and am generally more fit on work mornings, because I am grateful for my job and like the work I do, a lot.
It is important to chose a job that motivates you. As long as you have to motivate yourself to get the job done, you have clearly chosen the wrong job (Or you are in a situation where you have to get over some obstacles in order to reach your dream job, never mind that)
Find a job that you do with passion and enthusiasm, a job that motivates you to get up early, work hard, work long hours and generally put a lot of good effort into, and you have made great progress on your path to happiness.
Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

A smile can be quite nice,
And sometimes a good word will suffice,But an act of kindness has no price,
So why not spend it twice?

You should like who you are and what you are interested in. As long as you are ashamed of yourself, you won’t find happiness anywhere, especially not in material goods.

The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can’t imagine why; but they do. They are unhappy before they marry, and they imagine to themselves that the reason of their unhappiness will be removed when they are married. When it isn’t they blame the other person, which is clearly absurd. I believe that is what generally starts the trouble.

Misery is easy, happiness takes effort, remember this!
