If happiness is what you’re after, you’re gonna be let down frequently and you’re gonna be unhappy much of your time. Joy though, joy is the feeling that we have doing what we are fashioned to do, no matter the outcome.

One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory.

It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary.

Happiness and unhappiness are in the heart and spirit of each one of us: If you feel unhappy, then place yourself above that and act so that your happiness does not get to be dependent on anything.

I think happiness is love.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Let’s make ourselves happy

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

Happiness isn’t a one-size-fits-all proposition. You must define what it looks like for you and then make a conscious effort to access whatever gets you to your unique definition of joy.

Choose happiness, not success, as your life’s goal. If you become successful but aren’t happy, then what is the point?

We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found, and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself.

If you want to be happy, be.

When I hold you in my arms and I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm because happiness is a warm gun.

If you let go a little you will have a little happiness. If you let go completely you will be free.

A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don’t allow the happy moment, because they’re so busy trying to get a happy life.
