Make Peace with Your Shadow

 

 

Make peace with your shadow. Unless you are able to,you will never dare venture in the light.

 

Let not another’s measure of happiness be your own measure.Judge not the things that can make you happy.

 

God does not take us only when we are lovable,but moreso when we are most in need of love.

The measure of happiness

Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession. Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they could be! Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life, —if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing. -Helen Keller
