Happiness is one of the greatest feelings in the world. The world appears much more enjoyable to you if you are happy. You can enjoy even the most boring work if you are happy and hate the most exciting stuff when you are not.
Mahatma Gandhi expresses his views for happiness as, “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” Abraham Lincoln takes a philosophical view at happiness, “Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
Reminding you that you are responsible for your own actions, Dalai Lama once said “Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.” William E. Gladstone gives a few tips for achieving happiness, “Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won’t have to hunt for happiness.”
Some further tips for the same purpose are, “There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.” To end on a philosophical note, “Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn’t know you left open.”
