You could be very happy with almost nothing if you had a loving family, and you weren’t competing with a lot of other people who had more than you did.

As a wise man said, “Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.”

Your family is not just your spouse and kids. It also includes your parents.

Don’t ever forget them. Respect them like you want your kids to respect you. Listen to them.

They’ve lived longer than you, and they don’t just talk to hear themselves speak.

Figure out what’s important.

Stop being a machine and focus on what you love. Do it lovingly.

When you do less, you accomplish more meaningful things in life. You also have less anxiety and more time and space.

There’s far more happiness in giving than getting.

I see selfless service or seva as the world’s most authentic and pure religion. Give with no expectation of getting something in return, and it becomes a beautiful act.

Try to let go of that expectation, and just give.

For instant inspiration, look here.

There are few joys that equal a good book, a good walk, a good hug, or a good friend.

Try all of these at least once a day. They are all free.
