Inspiring quotes on happiness: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Happiness<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why does being at the top doesn\u2019t always bring happiness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being successful is about being happy in life. You don\u2019t have to wait to reach the top to find it, it is something you are always living with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Success is usually considered as the measure of how much you have achieved in life. Only materialistic objects and wealth are considered to make a person successful and happy. If wealth was the criteria to be happy, the world\u2019s richest will be the happiest. Even they are not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happiness comes from things you do for others, moments you spend and share with your loved ones, and from little achievements, you accomplish every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is always there with you all the time. You don\u2019t have to find reasons to be happy. You just need to live with passion and compassion, you won\u2019t ever have to look for happiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you want to do one good thing in the world, the best thing you can do is give other people joy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJoy is not dependent upon outward circumstances. Joy is something that we can have under all circumstances when we are sad or happy. Outward circumstances are always neutral. They seem to be happy or sad according to the happy or sad attitudes of the mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo be happy, you must live in, but not for, the present moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf it (the good circumstances) changes will you be able to keep onto your happiness just as much? Because if not then your happiness is really built on sand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cFeel that you are happy without any cause for happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cTake whatever cause for outward happiness you might have and take it within yourself, so that, if the sun should go out, you will not be any less happy; if the birds stop singing you will not be any less happy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cWhatever you experience outwardly, take it within yourself and say \u2018I\u2019m happy because I\u2019m happy. I\u2019m happy because God is in my heart.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cMaster said if you want to be happy no one in the world can take happiness from you; if you want to be unhappy, no one in the world can make you happy. So choose to be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cI\u2019ve\u2019ve seen some people like this that no matter what happens they\u2019ve got something cheerful to feel about it. It\u2019s not always easy, but if we do it as a deliberate sward of battle rather then thinking \u2018Well, I\u2019m not really feeling that way and therefore I shouldn\u2019t say that I am\u2019. No! Make yourself that way!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not insincere to say you\u2019re happy if your determined to make it true and live in that consciousness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHappiness is a question of attitude, not a question of what\u2019s happening out there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
