Thoughts On Happiness

Being happy is a very personal thing. Only you know what makes you happy. Decide that you want to be happy and do what makes you happy. With the right attitude, and a grateful heart, learn to appreciate what you have, to be contended with what you have. Therein lies your happiness.

If you want to be happy, you must not be too concerned with others. To be happy you must be your own sunshine. Be so happy that when others look at you they become happy too!

Men spend their lives in anticipation, in determining to be vastly happy at some period or other, when they have the time. But the present time has one advantage over every other – it is our own. Past opportunities are gone, future are not come [sic]. We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer tasting them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age. - Charles Caleb Colton

As long as we continue to think we will be happy in the future, we will never be happy in the moment, and that is the same as saying that we will never be happy. If we think that our lives will be better when we get that better job or retire, stay or go, gain or lose weight, or when our children grow and leave or come back, we are putting off the happiness that there is in today. - Aminu Kano

Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy. Well, that is doubtful. So get as much happiness out of what you are doing as you can and don’t put off being happy until some future date. - Dale Carnegie

All true! Vincent, please let me know if you are reading my blog. I got over 1750 visits from Singapore today and I don't see how that is possible. I'm confused.

Hi Voo. I blog for fun to give myself something to do. I don't pay attention to who reads my blog from where. So, I do not know how it all works.
