If you can buy happiness, buy it.

Realise that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

Happiness (if you want it):*

1. Meet basic needs

2. Avoid cheap dopamine

3. Leave the past alone

4. Limit desires to ones achievable at the edge of your capability

5. Find something beyond yourself (mission, children, God)

*Most people want something else.

If you want to be happy, be.

If you want to be happy, be!

Happiness is a skill you can develop.

Happiness is the readiness to be happy.

Happiness is the only good. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to help make others so.

Go outside, to the country, enjoy the sun and all nature has to offer. Go outside and try to recapture the happiness within yourself; think of all the beauty in yourself and in everything around you and be happy.

The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine ... Try this for a week and you will be surprised.

The surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.

Happiness is the experience of living every moment with love, grace and gratitude.
