Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn

Summary

't notice you left open. This quote emphasizes that happiness can come unexpectedly and in subtle ways, rather than through consciously pursuing it. Like a sneaky visitor, happiness can enter our lives when our attention is focused on other things. It suggests that individuals may find joy when they least anticipate it, by being open to the possibilities around them. It serves as a reminder to not solely rely on grand gestures or deliberate efforts in the pursuit of happiness, but to remain open-minded and receptive to the small moments and opportunities that may bring joy and contentment.

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

Who knows what true loneliness is -- not the conventional word, but the naked terror? To the lonely themselves it wears a mask. The most miserable outcast hugs some memory or some illusion. Now and then a fatal conjunction of events may lift the veil for an instant. For an instant only. No human being could bear a steady view of moral solitude without going mad.
