On Happiness (1)
Happiness begins with a lighthearted and cheerful perception of the world. You will be happy on most days if you choose to look for things to be happy about. Happiness is always knocking on your door; you just have to invite it in.
What is called happiness is an abstract idea, composed of various ideas of pleasure; for he who has but a moment of pleasure is not a happy man, in like manner that a moment of grief constitutes not a miserable one. - Voltaire
Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is. - Maxim Gorky
Happiness begins with the decision to no longer feel sad. - Steven Aitchison
Happiness blossoms where seeds of kindness have been thoughtfully planted. - Unknown
Happiness can exist only in acceptance. - George Orwell
Happiness can only be achieved by looking inward and learning to enjoy whatever life has, and this requires transforming greed into gratitude. - John Chrysostom
Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude. - Denis Waitley
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed. - Storm Jameson
Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable. - Leo C. Rosten
Happiness consists in giving and in serving others. - Henry Drummond
Happiness consists more in conveniences of pleasure that occur every day than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom. - Benjamin Franklin

Some people say it is easy to be happy, just be; others say it's hard to be happy when you're depressed; and yet others say nothing at all in that place between happiness and sad in silence...
Happiness is a state of mind. One can be as happy as he/she makes up his/her mind to be. It takes effort - nothing can be accomplished without effort, but it is possible. It can be done. :-)
