"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort.You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it.You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it."
~ The Mighty Elizabeth Gilbert
~ Tom Robbins
"These teachings are like a raft, to be abandoned once you have crossed the flood. Since you should abandon even good states of mind generated by these teachings, How much more so should you abandon bad states of mind! Conquer the angry man by love. Conquer the ill-natured man by goodness. Conquer the miser with generosity. Conquer the liar with truth."
~The Dhammapada
