"People tend to think of happiness as a stroke of luck, something that will descend like fine weather if you're fortunate. But happiness is the result of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly."- Elizabeth Gilbert (1969) American author

Do you think this is true? I tend to find happiness in the little day to day things - my granddaughter screaming and running to me when I get home; my dog dancing with me; a beautiful sunset. I don't feel like I have to fight and strive for it.

For me it’s more just being aware, recognizing good both big and little. Being “present” mentally and emotionally when nice things happen. I often have to remind myself to do this, especially with my granddaughter, to cherish the moments.

"The true rewards of leadership come from striving to look up to a higher moral standard..Good leaders sometimes, in fact, quite often, lose in the material world. They go right ahead anyway, knowing that they are going to lose. Are they tilting at windmills? Do they have a 'can't do' attitude instead of a 'can-do' attitude? Of course not. They are committed to defending the right values. And the right values are seldom safe, easy, or advantageous."- H. Norman Schwarzkopf
