Helen Keller: “When one door of happiness closes” – Inspirational Quote of the Week

Happy Tuesday!

I hope all of you were able to have a relaxing and happy long weekend despite the overwhelming and controversial pandemic news everywhere.

This week’s quote comes from Helen Keller – an American author, political activist, and lecturer, who was the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.

This quote is almost 100-years old and still 100% valid.

When we have experienced happiness, we try to cherish and think of it, like it will never happen again and tend not to jump right into a new experience. Most of us are cautious when starting a new task or event and assess the success of it through the lens of already experienced success. It’s the same with happiness – we don’t see the new opportunity of being happy again, as we are comparing the new experience with the previous, and they will never be the same.

More happiness quotes from Helen Keller:

“We are never really happy until we try to brighten the lives of others.”

“I take happiness very seriously. It is a creed, a philosophy, and an objective.”

“If we do not like our work, and do not try to get happiness out of it, we are a menace to our profession as well as to ourselves.”
