It isn’t the number of friends you have. It’s the number of really good friends you have. Good friends are the people who love you all of the time even when you’re not at your best.
The happiness that makes a difference in challenging times is the kind of happiness that makes you feel good about yourself, and how you’re handling the situation.
Being joyful is in your genes, your brain, and in your heart. You are wired to experience joy, and when you feel it your soul is nourished and your body is refreshed.
