Essentials to Happiness

We are all looking for the key to happiness, the way to happiness, the secret of happiness, the formula for happiness, the recipe for happiness, and even the art of happiness. Call it whatever you want, they all mean the same thing – that is, we are all looking for the thing, or things that make us happy.

What we don’t realize is that we are the ones in control of our happiness, not things nor anyone else. We have the power to choose and decide. The choices and decisions we make regarding our life directly influences the quality of our days. If you want to be happy, choose to be happy.

If there is anything you don’t like about yourself or your life, change it. And if you can’t change it, accept it, change the way you look at it. Sometimes, a change of mindset is all it takes to make you happy.

Personally, I feel that understanding, acceptance, letting go, and moving on are essentials to happiness. What do others think are essentials to happiness? Let’s have a look.

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. - Joseph Addison

The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others. Try this for a week and you will be surprised. - Norman Vincent Peale

The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. - Henry Ward Beecher

The secret to being happy is keeping a sense of humour, making the most of everyday, and taking time to enjoy the little things. - Unknown

We learn the inner secret of happiness when we learn to direct our inner drives, our interest and our attention to something besides ourselves. - Ethel Percy Andrus

The formula for complete happiness is to be very busy with the unimportant. - A. Edward Newton

The key to being happy is knowing you have the power to choose what to accept and what to let go. - Dodinsky

The key to happiness is letting each situation be what it is instead of what you think it should be. - Mandy Hale

The first recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past. - Andre Maurois

I believe the recipe for happiness to be, just enough money to pay the monthly bills you acquire, a little surplus to give you confidence, a little too much work each day, enthusiasm for your work, a substantial share of good health, a couple of real friends, and a wife and children to share life’s beauty with you. - J. Kenfield Morley
