We live in this ordtak

We live in this age of abundance. The problem is, even though people have a lot, they aren't any happier. So they're trying to find meaning in their lives, and one way to do that is by doing something for others.

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.

You'll find something missing, we haven't had a TV in 19 years. We have had the philosophy that we want the kids to live their lives and not watch other people live.

Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life.

Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936)

I live 30, 35 minutes away. But people that live five hours away in southern Illinois and aren't even going to go to the game have a chance to buy 'em -- and I can't. These brokers, I guarantee you, are going to find a way around this. This is ridiculous.

From this moment on, the one who lives in fear will not be me, it will be those fellows who hide in the dark corners. From this moment on, I will live out in the sunlight. He wasn't overtly flirtatious, yet his pe𝑥y demeanor was undeniably alluring. I will live a fuller and happier life.

So this is my effort to bring back the hope that we must have if we are to change direction. . . . I think to be fully human, we need to have meaning in our lives, and that's what I am trying to help these young people to find.

Jane Goodall (1934-)

When you see people happy and content with so little after they've lost so much, who can still find meaning and purpose, it makes our lives seem shallow sometimes. The children especially were always smiling. It was heartwarming to see; it gives you a whole new perspective.

Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present / love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure / the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.

Sarah Ban Breathnach

It's kind of like living a dream. For me the whole thing is there's a better way to live life. We want to help other people live better lives. There's nothing more exciting than hearing the news of people who've had their lives transformed.

I find that, especially with children, they want to contribute. Even my kids, when they come in and they mess up the work and I'm busy, but they are just trying to help out, so I always say, 'Thank you.' That's how I am with them and I find that they're happier and I'm happier as a result.

Tom Cruise (1962-)

Those who by unselfish lives and consideration for others elevate the tone of the community in which they live and who by their presence make others happier, these are the salt of the earth.

William Lyon Phelps (1865-1943)

Finding meaning in what you do is one of the most important dimensions of resilience. People who own their own businesses, more than others, are able to find meaning in what they do.

We wouldn't want anyone to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And while we're pleased with the high attendance, what we find even more rewarding is the impact the exhibition is having on people's lives. Our comment books show that visitors have been inspired by the exhibition to take action and to live healthier lives.

It comes from service. It is by giving our lives away that we find meaning, because that's the way we're wired, I believe, by God.
