No one anywhere becomes happy through envy.NEW!Baltasar Gracián
Everyone feels envy from time to time.
But when it turns into jealousy and makes you hostile toward others, you may end up pushing your own happiness farther away.
Comparing yourself with others isn’t bad, but harboring ill feelings just because you can’t be like them is misplaced.
Constant jealousy wears down your heart and keeps you from seeing your own strengths.
Keep this quote by the philosopher Baltasar Gracián close to your heart, and keep pursuing challenges that lead to your own happiness, not to defeating someone else.
There are, of course, days when your heart hurts.NEW!Ma Rainey
All kinds of things happen in life.
At times you’ll be struck by misfortune that makes you wonder, “Why is this happening?” You may feel it’s unfair, but that’s life—there’s no use lamenting it.
I feel that this quote by blues singer Ma Rainey teaches us the importance of accepting life’s daily ups and downs just as they are.
Bad times don’t last that long, so there are simply days like that! Remember this quote and try to get through them.
Happiness is always decided by your own heart.NEW!Mitsuo Aida
Everyone wants to meet expectations and be praised, right? But if you focus only on others’ voices, before you know it your heart can become exhausted and you may lose sight of yourself.
This famous quote by Mitsuo Aida reminds you of something simple yet easily forgotten.
What does happiness mean to you? Try thinking about it without the voices around you.
Listening to your heart and following it honestly is nothing anyone should blame you for.
If you smile, the world smiles with you.Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, an American poet known for works such as “Solitude” and “Poems of Passion.” Her famous quote, “Laugh, and the world laughs with you,” conveys a poetic and profound sentiment.
The message that the scenery changes when you smile first yourself can help lift your spirits and turn your mindset positive.
It’s a quote to remember when you’re feeling down—one that can bring happiness to both you and those around you.
Don’t forget to love yourself.Søren Kierkegaard
Søren Kierkegaard, the Danish philosopher regarded as a forerunner of existentialism.
His famous quote, “Do not forget to love yourself,” reminds us—just as the words say—of an important truth we tend to forget.
For Japanese people, who often value self-sacrifice to some degree and put others before themselves, it may be especially striking.
It’s a saying that teaches us to first love ourselves fully, and then to love others on that foundation.
I’m short and chubby, but I’m proud of it.Winnie the Pooh
When it comes to insecurities about our appearance, people tend to think about them only in a negative way.
However, Pooh says that his own looks—which could be seen as a complex—are something he’s proud of.
In fact, Pooh’s small, round figure is a charming feature loved all around the world.
He shows us that the parts we dislike as “complexes” can become charming points if we change our perspective.
Inspired by his words, it might be a good idea to deliberately polish the parts you consider your insecurities and turn them into points of pride that truly shine!
It’s okay, it’s okay—someday the day will come when we’ll get out of here.Banana Yoshimoto
These are words that encourage your heart when you’ve hit rock bottom and can’t see what lies ahead.
Banana Yoshimoto, a novelist known for many works such as “Kitchen” and “Miton to Fubin,” wrote them.
This line is from her novel “Moonlight Shadow.” When you’re in complete darkness, it’s easy to feel despair, as if this situation will go on forever.
In those moments, remember these words.
You may begin to sense that there is an end to your sorrow and suffering that will come someday.
If you worry about what you don’t have, you’ll waste what you do have.Ken Keyes Jr.
People tend to focus on what they can’t do.
And it’s natural to feel envious of those who seem more talented.
But the same is true for others as well.
Everyone has their own individuality, with strengths and weaknesses.
People are people, and you are you.
You, too, surely have wonderful talents and value that others would envy.
Instead of fixating on what you lack, why not turn your attention to what you have? You’ll likely discover something new.
There are no solutions in life. What exists in life is only a force in motion. We have to create that force. The solutions will follow afterward.Saint-Exupéry
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the novelist who wrote The Little Prince, a work loved around the world.
Here is a passage from one of his masterpieces, Night Flight.
Life never goes backward.
As we keep moving forward, we must overcome many things.
However, moving forward requires effort.
He tells us that as we proceed through life by trial and error, we can find solutions to each of our problems.
If you’re troubled and have come to a standstill, try, above all, to take a step forward.
Each person has their own unique charm and talents. No two people are the same. Therefore, you must not compare a particular person with others.Joseph Murphy
These are the words of Joseph Murphy, who served as a minister of the Church of Divine Science.
Rather than searching for flaws by comparing yourself with someone else, it’s better to discover the unique charms and strengths that only you or that person possesses.
Respecting yourself and recognizing another’s greatness without comparison can lead to many forms of happiness.
When you want to remember that you are you, please draw strength from this famous quote.
It will surely encourage you to keep looking forward.
