Quotes by Robert Holden

“Many people are out without shelter. It was miserable to start with but with this things are only going to get worse.”

“Given the numbers were trying to reach and the scale of the commodities we are trying to move, we need a functioning road network and trucks on the road 24 hours a day.”

“Pushing out from here is going to prove problematic for some time.”

Whoever said happiness needs a plan?

The meaning of life is not a search—it is a choice. Meaning is not found in things; meaning is what you make of things. The world means nothing by itself. You give it all the meaning it has. Thus, the meaning of life is a choice you make, not just once, but every waking hour of your day. 

Life is like art—it is all about interpretation. The moment anything happens to you, you interpret a meaning for it. The meaning you vote for then governs your perception, your thinking, your faith, your choices, your feelings, your behaviors, everything! Whenever you elect a new meaning, this changes everything.

Sometimes in order to be happy in the present moment you have to be willing to give up all hope for a better past.

All the happiness, health, and abundance you experience in life comes directly from your ability to love and be loved. This ability is innate, not acquired.

Are the choices you are making going to really make you happy NOW or happy eventually?

You cant hold on to a grievance and be happy. Time to make a choice!

Biologists will teach us that the survival of the species depends on cooperation, not competition.

You may be cool under pressure and challenge, but can you be cool under success?

“Happiness is not in things; happiness is in you.”

“Nothing in the world can make you happy; everything in the world can encourage you to be happy”
