Robert Anthonyĭon’t waste your time in anger, regrets, worries, and grudges.
Most people would rather be certain they’re miserable, than risk being happy. To be happy, you must fancy that everything you have is a gift, and you the chosen, though you worked your tail off for every bit of it. It’s the moments that I stopped just to be, rather than do, that have given me true happiness.
“There is no way to happiness - happiness is the way.” – Thich Nhat Hanh Many things can make you miserable for weeks few can bring you a whole day of happiness. Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is. Happiness is a well-balanced combination of love, labour, and luck. I haven’t come across anyone who didn’t become a better person through love. I think that love is what we’re all searching for. Helping others along the way makes you evaluate who you are. In my life I’ve learned that true happiness comes from giving. Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. True happiness occurs only when you find the problems you enjoy having and enjoy solving. Happiness is a constant work-in-progress, because solving problems is a constant work-in-progress – the solutions to today’s problems will lay the foundation for tomorrow’s problems, and so on. Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling. “There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness.” – Lady Blessington When you realize there is nothing lacking, the world belongs to you. Be content with what you have rejoice in the way things are. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be fulfilled. T’s been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will. The happiness which is lacking makes one think even the happiness one has unbearable. Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness. Johann Wolfgang von GoetheĪsk yourself whether you are happy and you cease to be so. Who is the happiest of men? He who values the merits of others, and in their pleasure takes joy, even as though it were his own. “Happiness is where we find it, but very rarely where we seek it.” – J. Nobody really cares if you’re miserable, so you might as well be happy. The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help someone else. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort. It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness. The secret of happiness is freedom, the secret of freedom is courage. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity. “Happiness is a form of courage.” – Holbrook JacksonĮven a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being human-in not having to be just happy or just sad-in the nature of being able to be both broken and whole, at the same time. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. Bertrand RussellĪ great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness. To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness. Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination. Happiness consists more in conveniences of pleasure that occur everyday than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom. “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” – AristotleĪll happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.
