Happiness equals reality minus expectations.

If you resist what happens, you are at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness.

I will no longer allow the negative things in my life to spoil all of the good things I have. I choose to be happy.

Happiness is not having what you want. It is appreciating what you have.

Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think.

There are two ways to be happy: improve your reality, or lower your expectations.

We spend precious hours fearing the inevitable. It would be wise to use that time adoring our families, cherishing our friends and living our lives.

As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love—even the most simple action.

Hug harder. Laugh louder. Smile bigger. Love longer.

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

Stop worrying about pleasing others so much. Do more of what makes you happy.

Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have.

Worry is a total waste of time. It doesn’t change anything. All is does it steal your joy and keep you very busy doing nothing.

 

Be nice to yourself. It’s hard to be happy when someone is mean to you all the time.

Don’t let your happiness depend on something you may lose.

It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.

Happiness is found when you stop comparing yourself to other people.

Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket.

Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn’t stop to enjoy it.
