Quotes Happiness

There is a need to discover that we are capable of solitary joy and having experienced it, know that we have touched the core of self.
~ Barbara Lazear Ascher
This quote is so true. When you truly experience joy (which is not the same as happiness), you have touched the core of who you are. Joy is omnipresent, while happiness is elusive and has to do with what happens outside of us.
I use this quote on joy to remind me of all I have to be thankful for.
