"Often we tend to forget that 'happiness' comes not as a result of getting something we don't have, but of recognising and truly appreciating what we do have. The only things one needs in one's 'happy bag' are respect of self and others, along with the capacity to receive and express love, to internalise all experience and sieve out only the 'good,' to cherish friends and maintain regular contact, to tolerate all neighbours, to love God and never to abandon or turn one's back on one's family".
