You say that in heaven there is eternal beauty. The eternal beauty is here and now, not in heaven.
"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." — Herm Albright

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.

Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?

If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning 'Good morning' at total strangers.

I believe in the gospel of cheerfulness, the gospel of Good Nature; the gospel of Good Health. Let us pay some attention to our bodies. Take care of our bodies, and our souls will take care of themselves.
Do not tell me that you have got to be rich! We have a false standard of greatness in the United States. We think here that a man must be great, that he must be notorious; that he must be extremely wealthy, or that his name must be upon the putrid lips of rumor. It is all a mistake. It is not necessary to be rich or to be great, or to be powerful, to be happy. The happy man is the successful man.
Happiness is the legal tender of the soul.
Joy is wealth.
Good nature is the cheapest commodity in the world.
I hate above all things a cross man. What right has he to murder the sunshine of a day? What right has he to assassinate the Joy of life? When you go home, you ought to go like a ray of light--so that it will, even in the night, burst out of the doors and windows and illuminate the darkness.
There is one thing one has to have: either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge.
In the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
Happiness is a skill,
emotional balance is a skill,
compassion and altruism are skills,
and like any skill they need to be developed.
That's what education is about.

Of course life is bizarre. The more bizarre it gets, the more interesting it is. The only way to approach it is to make yourself some popcorn and enjoy the show.
Be confident, cheerful and contented. The mind can
produce any degree of contentment and peace. To generate these, no other
agency or help is required.
Mirth
is like a flash of lightning that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and
glitters for a moment: cheerfulness keeps up a kind of day-light in the mind.
The
cheerful live longest in years, and afterwards in our regards. Cheerfulness is
the off-shoot of goodness.
Cheerfulness
is the best promoter of health and is as friendly to the mind as to the body.
The most manifest sign of wisdom is a continual cheerfulness; her state is like that in the regions above the moon, always clear and serene.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
