How far must you go to find happiness? You need not go very far at all. For happiness is always inside you, ready whenever you are. No object, no person, no circumstance will make you happy. You are always happy when you decide to be. The good things in life do not cause happiness. It is precisely the other way around. Allow happiness to flow out from you, and the good things in life will surround you and fill your world. Choose to be happy, with no conditions imposed upon that happiness, and you'll create the ideal conditions for your life. Happiness is a beautiful gift you can give yourself no matter what. Give it freely and it will change your world. --- Ralph Marston
When you get what you want in your struggle for self, And the world makes you King for a day, Then go to the mirror and look at yourself, And see what that guy has to say.
For it isn't your father, your mother or wife, Who judgment upon you must pass. The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the guy staring back from the glass.
He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest, For he's with you clear up to the end, And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test If the guy in the glass is your friend.
You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum, And think you are a wonderful guy, But the man in the glass says you're only a bum If you can't look him straight in the eye.
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years, And get pats on the back as you pass, But your final reward will be heartaches and tears If you've cheated the guy in the glass.

I formed a group last night and I came up with the name XPRESS YOURSELF. Why did I chose such name? Because I want to give everyone the opportunity to express themselves who are hesitant and be who they are. You can post all you want but avoid "below the belt" remarks. Rude people are not welcome there. Thank you.
