Happiness
(page 6)
I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my life in a way that will make me happy.
I had the feeling of slipping down a smooth bottomless pit. It had nothing to do with Breuer and the people. It had nothing to do with Pat even. It was the melancholy secret that reality can arouse desires but never satisfy them; that love begins with a human being but does not end in him; and that everything can be there: a human being, love, happiness, life — and that yet in some terrible way it is always too little, and grows ever less the more it seems.
Can you imagine a world without men? No crime and lots of happy fat women.
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on.
Some days are just bad days, that's all. You have to experience sadness to know happiness, and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day, that's just the way it is!
Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.
Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.
Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.
In this life, we have to make many choices. Some are very important choices. Some are not. Many of our choices are between good and evil. The choices we make, however, determine to a large extent our happiness or our unhappiness, because we have to live with the consequences of our choices.
A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness, of hatred, of jealousy, and, most easily of all, the gate of fear.
The foundation of success in life is good health: that is the substratum fortune; it is also the basis of happiness. A person cannot accumulate a fortune very well when he is sick.
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring.
Family and friendships are two of the greatest facilitators of happiness.
Some people think happiness is a luxury, but it's a necessity. You need to make space for it in your life.
You might not make it to the top, but if you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.
When you're happy you find pure joy in your life. There are no regrets in this state of happiness — and that's a goal worth striving for in all areas of your life.
