What is the definition of joy? When you get an opportunity to do what you really
want to, the feeling that you experience then, is called "Joy".
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Happiness
Happy is the unity of the Sangha. Happy is the discipline of the united ones.
-Dhammapada " Dhammapada 194"
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
-Epictetus
Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Happy people produce. Bored people consume.
-Stephen Richards
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with Spring.
-George Santayana "George Santayana"
If your joy is derived from what society thinks of you, you're always going to be disappointed.
-Madonna
Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.
-W. P. Kinsella
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"
With a genuine keenness or readiness to serve others, one can attain happiness in any group or community, and the eagerness to serve others will endow you with the power and skill necessary for the required service. Nowadays, we tend to regard it as derogatory to serve, but there is great worth in service.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
