- I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.
- Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: “I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today, I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today and I’m going to be happy in it.
- Happy people continuously change; and because they change they become more and more happy; and then more and more change is possible
- If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
- Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness.
apt words to understand Happiness.
Can you send me daily quotes of similar kinds
Thanks
I really like this quote because I feel like I’m the most unhappy person in the world, the universe.
I would like to be happy with who I am, one day, but I don’t believe I ever will be.
I Disagree
happiness comes when we predict out future to be good.
and we do something for our good future and sense it and feel it with our all body. it is not possible for feeling happy with no reason this is the most permanent reason we can ever feel.
Melissa, sad that you said you don’t believe you will ever be happy. Because you will get exactly what you believe. If you don’t mind I will recommend some books that got me started on a new way of thinking. You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay, and Change your Thoughts, Change your Life by Dr. Wayne Dryer. A little Time Line Therapy would be could also. I know cause I did it. Good Luck.
