100 live for happiness quotes
Where is the fate of your happiness resting? He doesn't make me happy. She doesn't make me happy. I'm just not happy. What is it that makes you happy? Does having money make you happy? Do your friends make you happy? Do your children make you happy? Does your job make you happy? Does your spouse make you happy? All these are external influences on your happiness. If any of these become the primary source of your happiness. You'll be devastated the moment they are removed from your life. You would have lost the key to your happiness.
''Happiness can only be found if you can free yourself of all other distractions.'' Saul Bellow
Being happy is a choice you have to make for yourself. If you can't find happiness in the little moments; then you won't be happier when you have the finer things in life. Many people have confused material wealth with happiness. So, they envy the lives of social media influencers who parade their luxurious lifestyle all over social media. They feel a deep sense of loss within themselves. Thinking that's the happiness that they are missing. The sad reality is many are still not happier with all the material wealth they possess, and social media is often a highlight reel that deceives the masses.
Don't ever think that those who are truly happy are without any problems in their life. You must choose happiness. You can always find reasons to be sad every day, but if you can find just one reason to be happy, hold on to that reason. You'll be happier every day.
I don't devote a lot of my time to the news. There's just too much tragedy. I don't need anything that is constantly sucking my happiness away. I spend a lot of my time reading inspirational material and writing. I find great joy in writing. It makes me happy to write and inspire others.
''The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.'' Marcus Aurelius
Whatever your little bit of happiness is. You must be willing to protect it from the noisomeness of everyday life. You have to know deep within yourself that whatever decision you're making aligns with your happiness. You don't need anyone or anything that will diminish your happiness.
Your happiness is vital. Don't you think that God wants you to be happy? Yes, He does! Often we're pressured into making life choices for the sake of our loved ones. Often we remain in unhealthy situations out of fear that we'll offend or disappoint someone. We'll do whatever it takes just to make others happy, whilst sacrificing our happiness. A life of misery for the sake of someone else's happiness isn't selflessness, it's self-destruction. You deserve a happy life. We all deserve a happy life. Below I've compiled 100 inspiring quotes.
