Three things to be truly happy

I love this quote from Tom Bodett. It's so simple yet so powerful! These three things are something we can easily do.

!

The photo is a bottle brush flower, a Callistemon species. The shrub kind is endemic to Australia. I got this photo though while I was in Malaysia and it is from a tree, not a shrub.

Hope and faith

The relationship between hope and faith is well explained in this quote by Rex Rouis. It's really true that "Hope keeps you alive" and that "Faith gives your life meaning...."

 

I took this photo of two kids who kept on helping each other as they clambered up one rock after another.

what hope is

I love these lines from Emily Dickinson. They remind of a song. Well, it is not surprising of course since Miss Dickinson is a lyrical poet.

The photo is an Alstroemeria flower with the petals still intact, making it appear like a graceful dancer.

Perseverance and success

Well, this is surely a very logical and wise reminder from Joseph Addison. Let us take it to heart.

This photo of ants diligently carrying home a treasure surely captures what this quote says.

the law of nature

I like this, "plant seeds of happiness...it will all come back to you in abundance." Isn't that wonderful, whatever we plant will come back to us in abundance - the law of nature! Thanks for this reminder, Steve Maraboli.

The photo is another view one one of my favorite flowers - the Oxalis.

hope for a better world

Jim Henson, the creator of "The Muppets", is such an inspiring person. I love this quote from him. If only we can all share in his hope, then we will leave a better world after us.

This is a sunset scene from my hometown here in the Philippines. The sky was really unbelievable that day!

Enough

Enough is the keyword in this quote from an unknown author. I find this as a very good wish for anybody. Enough should really keep us happy, human and hopeful. If we have less, then we will always be wanting for more while if we have more than enough, then we usually fail to appreciate what we have.

I created a soft effect for this rose in Photoshop.

Don't lose hope

I like this "hope" quote from an unknown author. It is simply so positive, so full of hope! Just tells us that there is always something good in every situation that we find ourselves in. Sometimes, this may not be so evident right away, but it's there.

This photo is taken from Boracay, my favorite island here in the Philippines.

Choose Hope

This quote from Christoper Reeve is so positive and so powerful! I love the way it tugs at my heart and awakens my creativity!

I coupled this quote with my photo of a fern leaflet emerging from the sea of green. I think they go well together. Don't you think so?

My Soul Waits in Silence

This photo that I have taken one early morning while we were in Zambales somehow seems to fit perfectly this quote from Psalm 62:1,5. Don't you think so? 

It was so calm that day and it seems that the fisherman and I, were the only ones awake at that time. Is this man communing with God? or with the fish? or both?

Go for the Moon

I just love this quote from Bruce Barton. Fortunately, I have just the right moon photo to go with it. I took this photo while we were at Corregidor island, here in the Philippines.

Corregidor is one place where you can couple nature adventure with history.

Life is full of possibilities

Life is full of possibilities. We only need to look around and discover what is in store for us. It is really up to us.

I love this quote from "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. I think it fits very nicely with my photo of this fern frond that is about to uncurl. Just imagine all the possibilities waiting for it especially with that big raindrop on it.

How Big Is Your God

If you are being buffeted by storms or even just by heavy rains in your life, then this is the perfect quote for you!

Please share with others who are also in the same situation.

Here is a bigger view of this.

I have more quotes like this in my HubPages.

Rejoice in Hope

This lily bud is I think a beautiful backdrop for this beautiful verse from Romans 12:12.

It reminds me of the promise of hope of Easter.
