Happiness Quotes

    “If you only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.”

    Mogan Housel

      “Failure to read what is happening in another’s soul is not easily seen as a cause of unhappiness: but those who fail to attend to the motions of their own soul are necessarily unhappy.”

      Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (Page 12)

        “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)
