Happiness Quotes

    “Rich people want to be cool. Cool people want to be rich. So, just be happy.”

    Cole Schafer

      “Happiness is your natural state. That means you will return to it on your own if you allow the other feelings you want to experience to come up, be felt, be processed, and not resisted. The less you resist your unhappiness, the happier you will be. It is often just trying too hard to feel one certain way that sets us up for failure.”

      Brianna Wiest, The Mountain Is You (Page 231)

        “You are not supposed to feel happy all of the time. Trying to feel happy all of the time is not the solution; it’s the problem.”

        Brianna Wiest, The Mountain Is You (Page 225)

          “If you are doing ‘everything you are supposed to be doing’ and yet you feel empty and depressed at the end of the day, the issue is probably that you’re not really doing what you want to be doing; you’ve just adopted someone else’s script for happiness.”

          Brianna Wiest, The Mountain Is You (Page 60)

            “The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination. The good life constitutes a direction selected by the total organism, when there is psychological freedom to move in ANY direction.”

            Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts (Page 93)

              “The happiness we have today is built on the ordinary life we had before we married. The happiness that is derived from ordinary life lasts longer; like coal, it burns gradually and slowly. The happiness that is derived from excitement is like a brilliant fire—soon it will go out. Many young couples live a very exciting life when they are in love. So, when they marry, and their lives are reduced to calmness and dullness, they will feel impatient and will drink the bitter cup of a sad marriage.”

              Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts (Page 86)
