Happiness Quotes
Happiness isn’t some permanent thing we’re all trying to achieve in life, it’s merely a thing that shows up every now and then, sometimes in tiny doses that are just substantial enough to keep us going.
from Reminders of Him book by Colleen Hoover
Sometimes, when you lose your happiness, it’s best to look for it the same way you’d look for anything else. [… ] By retracing your steps. So, all you have to do is think back and ask yourself, when was the last time you were truly happy?
from People We Meet on Vacation book by Emily Henry
People universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather if you’re fortunate enough. But that’s not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.
from Eat, Pray, Love book by Elizabeth Gilbert
Success doesn’t guarantee happiness, and happiness doesn’t require success. They can feed each other, and we can have them at the same time, but they are not intertwined.
from Think Like a Monk book by Jay Shetty
It is impossible to grant someone happiness. The best you can do, as the Declaration of Independence put it, is to give him the freedom to pursue happiness. Happiness is not a tangible thing, it’s a byproduct of achievement.
from Grinding It Out book by Ray Kroc
To place the responsibility for your happiness on anybody other than yourself is a recipe for misery.
from Will book by Will Smith
You can only get true fulfillment and happiness from enjoying the achievement you made happen yourself.
from Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter book by Curtis Jackson
The key to happiness wasn’t being yourself, because what did that even mean? Everyone had many selves. No. The key to happiness is finding the lie that suits you best.
from How to Stop Time book by Matt Haig
Never put off happiness for the sake of achievement. Never put off the things that are important for your well-being and satisfaction to a later time. Today is the day to live fully, not when you win the lottery or when you retire. Never put off living!.
from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari book by Robin Sharma
Keep the shortness of life at the forefront of your focus. Don’t put off your happiness until you have more time, or you get the promotion, or you have more money in the bank.
from The 5 AM Club book by Robin Sharma
Cynics say everything has its price. I say poppycock! There are things money can’t buy and hard work can’t win. One of them is happiness.
from Grinding It Out book by Ray Kroc
Those who seek happiness in pleasure, wealth, glory, power, and heroics are as naive as the child who tries to catch a rainbow and wear it as a coat.
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, from Richer, Wiser, Happier book by William Green
