Book Excerpts: A Thousand Paths to Happiness

A Thousand Paths to Happiness

By David Baird. 2000.

 
If you try to move a thousand bricks at once it will be impossible—but say to yourself, “I can move that pile and do so easily a few at a time.” So is perseverance rewarded with happiness. Little by little.

You can’t feel accomplishment if you don’t start something and complete it. Read a book, make a model, clean a mess, do a good deed.

It is easier to be happy when you are not surrounded by the confusion and the clutter of life.

Use your life for something you really believe in.
