Japanese Proverb: "Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods."

The further you go, the more you have to be proud of. At the same time, in order to come a long way, you have to be behind to begin with. In the end, though, maybe it’s not how you reach a place that matters. Just that you get there at all.

Nothing and no one can make you happy until you alone make you happy.

Happiness is not a destination, it is a way of life.
