All aboard the happiness train – Take your seats!

Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of travelling.

Margaret B. Runbeck

Travel happily instead of searching for happiness in a distant location.

Being happy now is something everyone can do, although it may take some practice.

Why search for happiness?

Sometimes you just have to stop your pursuit for happiness and just be happy for a while ๐Ÿ˜‰

Happiness is inward and not outward; and so it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are.

Henry Van Dyke

Enjoy everything

Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things.

Kurt Vonnegut

You can always enjoy yourself. Take the time to stop whatever you are doing right now, look at yourself, at your life, at your consciousness and realize how good things are.

Take time to appreciate small things. Have to get up early? Enjoy the silence of the morning, hearing only the birds and few people. Have to work long? Enjoy the fact that somebody values your work and is willing to pay for it.

Enjoy your food, your drinks, your sleep.

Take nothing for granted!

Enjoy the fuck out of every moment, every situation you have for there is no other way to happiness an pleasure! Once you have managed to enjoy all the little things in life, who could possibly steal the fun from you? Think about it and every once in a while: Just smile and enjoy ๐Ÿ˜‰

It’s always your choice!

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.
Wayne Dyer

This is very profound and if you have not taken it for granted until now, think about it!

You can be miserable. Of course. Why not? Choose to be miserable and no one will care. Why would they? It is your choice. You can be miserable or you can pull yourself up, dust yourself off and get started!

Stay in bed, full of thoughts and self-pity, sleeping through the day and wondering why everyone else got better at the end of the day but you is not the best way. It may be easy, but it will break you in no time.

Do not fall for it.

Lazy self-pitty and miserable feelings are the temptations that you must not give in, even if it is the last thing you do!

Laugh out loud

Take a moment, think about this moment, about yourself, about the world, humanity, about this exact moment in life.

When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.

Buddha

The ambivalence of happiness

Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.

Jim Rohn

I love this quote!

This is the essential thought in the pursuit of happiness.

Always reach for the stars, but do not make the mistake of seeing them as requirement to happiness. Combine modest gratitude with eager ambition. Be able to enjoy and at the same time crave for more!

Words to live by

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough ithout your woe.

Orison Swett Marden

Simple as it sounds: Talk more positively!

Appreciate stuff, no matter how small it may seem and don’t dwell on negative thoughts. Put happiness in this world, not only others but also you will thank you, trust me!

Happy! Hap- Hap- HAPPY!

Be happy for no reason, like a child.

If you are happy for a reason, you’re in trouble, because that reason can be taken away from you.

Deepak Chopra

It’s simple as that: Be happy.

Being happy is an independent state, not influenced by circumstances.

Be. Happy.

You create your own happiness!

The most successful people recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Please do not waste your time waiting for others to motivate you, for others to gift you happiness!

You are in control of your own luck, of your own happiness, of your own fate!

Why you can not controll what happens to you in life you can always controll how you react to it. Do not let emotions paralyze and blind your brilliant brain.

Stay positive, stay focused, always carry on!

/phil

Who is responsible?

Who is responsible for your misery/luck? Fate? Well maybe fate or some greater power controlls circumstances but you control everything else!

I don’t control life but I control how I react to it.

Macklemore

It is very important to understand that your mental state defines wether you are in a happy or in a sad place.

Be happy, consciously decide to be happy!
