No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Zahir"
Quotations
Happiness
To be joyous in life, a few bites to eat in peace, pouring rains or cool breeze are
sufficient... Whereas for reasons to be sad, you can write thousands of books on
it.
-Deep Trivedi
Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.
-Ramana Maharshi
There is no end to craving. Hence, contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Stay content.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.
