Unfortunately, the common belief with most people is that happiness is something that happens to them when conditions are just right rather than something that happens through them when they choose to make space for it. While outer conditions may stimulate the feeling of happiness, it can never come from anywhere other than within us. Authentic happiness isn't something we can go out and get, buy, borrow, or steal. Nor can any form of artificial sensory stimulus generate true happiness; it's only something we can be, and it's a choice we make with every breath we take.","author":"Dennis Merritt Jones","tags":["awareness","breath","choice","fortune","gratification","happiness","luck"],"id":87707,"author_id":"Dennis+Merritt+Jones"},{"text":"Delay gratification is what will give us patience and long suffering.","author":"Sunday Adelaja","tags":["delayed-gratification","gratification","long-suffering","patience","patience"],"id":123156,"author_id":"Sunday+Adelaja"},{"text":"Do not seek recognition or gratification from man — serve the Lord.
