Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
There is no end to craving. Hence, contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Stay content.
Those who do not know how to see the precious things in life will never be happy.
-Alex Flinn
"The movie, Beastly"
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
-Robert Frost
Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
-Ernest Hemingway
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
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
-Deep Trivedi
Happiness is simple. Everything we do to find it is complicated.
-Karen Maezen Miller
"Hand Wash Cold: Care Instructions for an Ordinary Life"
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"
Above all, let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul.
