Everything is material for the seed of happiness, if you look into it with inquisitiveness and curiosity.

Each step

Don’t put off joy until the end of the journey. Live it each step of the way.

Don’t settle for just a fraction of fulfillment. You can choose to have it all.

Each step you take is not just a means to an end. Each step has a value and a joy all its own.

When you assume that the task will be tedious, it will be. And your negative attitude makes it that much harder to get the job done.

Instead, find joy and fulfillment in every step you take. Love and appreciate the life you have, and no matter what the task may be, you’ll find a way to do it with joy.

Find joy in every step of the journey. And you’ll arrive long before you get there.

— Ralph Marston
