“Happiness is the consequence 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
in the
manifestations of your own blessings.
And once you have achieved a
state of happiness,
you must never become lax about maintaining it.
You
must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward
into that happiness
forever,
to stay afloat on top of it.”
- Elizabeth Gilbert
(Eat, Pray, Love)
