Happiness is Key

“Too much of a good thing can be wonderful” -Mae West (Pg. 388)

I really do love this quote. Some people will argue and say too much of a good thing can be bad. But the truth is that it can be a good thing. If something is going good and it has a benefit in place then it will and should always be wonderful. Good things can come to an end but done properly that don’t have to. Good things all are up to each individual but they should always have a positive ending. Coming from May West I am not surprised this is her quote. She was a very charming, influential woman and a person who liked the finer things in this world.

“Behind every cloud is another cloud” -Judy Garland (Pg. 390)

I really love this quote because it really describes my life so well. I always feel like you can’t escape bad things in life because there is always more bad things to come. Knowing the story behind Judy Garland and her bad days this quote makes so much sense coming from her. As someone who has had bad days and felt that dark cloud upon myself and felt like there was no end to it. But even on cloudy days there can be good days within those. The clouds can be a metaphor for many things including depression and anxieties in life. This makes everyone feel different but together in feelings.

“Wisdom consists of the anticipation of consequences” – Norman Cousins

Wisdom is something that in a way is built off of age as well. Anticipating consequences is part of growing up and learning from your mistakes is part of wisdom. I am unfamiliar with this person for this quote but it still is powerful to me. I very much think that wisdom come by experience and exposure to many different things gives you insight on how to avoid the bad and get to the good in life as well. Wisdom doesn’t always have to do with age but even just in experience with difference things creates wisdom.
