“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort.<\/b> You have to fight<\/i> for it, strive<\/i> for it, insist<\/i> upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it.<\/u> <\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
You have to participate relentlessly<\/b> in the manifestations of your own blessings. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
And once you achieve a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it<\/u>, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it… <\/div>\n
It’s easy enough to pray when you’re in distress<\/i> but continuing to pray even when your crisis has passed is like a sealing process, helping your soul hold tight to its good attainments<\/b>.<\/u>” <\/div>\n
– Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth Gilbert<\/div>\n
