The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Marcus Aurelius

Just get this one thing and you’ll be good.

Once we make this particular thing happen, you’ll be happy.

Just do this and you’ll find freedom.

Does it not feel as though we are imprisoned by a society that tells us we’re going to be free and happy, only to never have it happen?

Perhaps our ancient sages had wisdom we badly need again.
