A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.
Ken Keyes
You can not simply blame other people for being rude or selfish.
Walk around the world and spread kindness, joy and happiness and you will be payed back hundreds of times.

Do you know what you are responsible for? Your happiness!

I no longer try to be right;
I choose to be happy.
Ric Elias
This right and wrong thing bothers me. Is there really an objective right and wrong?
Well maybe for real logic like math there is something like right and wrong. But there is not right and wrong for basically anything else because everything is subjective and everything will be different in different people’s perspectives.
Being right does not serve you well as long as it does not make you happy does it? Being in tune with your own thoughts, having a congruent reality, that is what counts. Everything else are opinions, everything else is worldy stuff that distracts you from your inner, calm happiness.
Being happy is not a question of being right, it is not a question of arguments or logic. It is a natural state, just like confidence, that you live in since your birth. Do not let rationalisation take this natural state from you.
You are not happy because you succeed in the society, you are happy because you are meant to be. You could loose your job, your wife, your car and your house today and still find inner peace and happiness.
Next time when you find yourself arguing with someone about anything, no matter how important or unimportant it may seem, stop and ask yourself: What am I doing here? Is this helping me or the other person in living happy lives?
Cut the useless worldly struggles of proving yourself and instead chose to be happy just for the sake of happiness.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment. I told them they didn’t understand life.

He who is not contented with what he has would not be contented with what he would like to have.
Socrates
Being satisfied and happy can not be achieved by constantly buying new stuff.
As long as you are not satisfied with what you have right now, as long as you do not appreciate your belongings you won’t find satisfaction by looking at outer circumstances. Satisfaction comes from the inside.
You will never find salvation in consumerism.

Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.
Henry David Thoreau
Some people are so poor, all they have got left is money.
While money is a nice thing you should see it as a resource, not as a source for happiness. Wealth is not mesured in currency but in feelings. Happiness is not correlated to your account balance, remember that.

It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered
Aeschylus
You should give your friends respect and honour their accomplishments. Don’t envy their achievements but rather compliment them while working on your own. It is great that they succeed, you should support and enjoy that. What is more cool than having happy and successful friends?
Don’t destroy their success with envy and don’t suck the fun out of sharing achievements with close friends and family.
You will be suprised how much more awesome it feels when you can be happy with and for your friends rather than sitting in the dark corner and thinking fun-consuming thoughts about why they succeeded and you did not.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Being happy and satisfied is something that happens inside your head, not something that comes from somewhere out there in the world.
Tell yourself that the world is awesome and you will realize that in fact it truly is! Just believe how amazing your life is and you will be way more satisfied with your situation.
When you wake up in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror and genuinely smile! It will make you laugh, because it feels strange to smile at yourself for no reason and laughing is the best way to start the day! 🙂

There are two ways to spread happiness; either be the light who shines it or be the mirror who reflects it.
Edith Wharton
Happiness is a positive thing. People are attracted to it. You want to sorround yourself with happy people, not with sad people. So you can do you best to amplify happiness at all times.
Either by just being happy and living a happy life or by reflecting other people’s happy lives. Talk about your achievements, talk about their achievements. Laugh about your failures, don’t dwell on mistakes, be bright, always have a smile in your sleeve!
Everyone wants to be happy so just help them out by showing them how easy it is! Smile, enjoy, be careless, have fun and others will join in!

I do not like to repeat successes; I like to go on to other things.
Walt Disney
Success is nice and a great thing to have. But don’t dwell on it, don’t rest on it.
Success does not last, you have to succeed again and again. Continue your search for success every day, start new projects, discover new interests. That is the only way to stay truly happy.
Don’t be afraid of trying genuinely new things. Only through continuous change can one stay true to oneself.
