happiness

"and we laugh and laugh andall I know isat this moment I feel likeI can do anything I wantand be anyone I wantand go anywhere on the globeand still call it home"

"When you are living the best version of yourself, you inspire others to live the best versions of themselves."

"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense."

"Hearts will break and people will hurt you, darling.” Her mother said. “But when you let those people control your outlook on the life, you only allow them to have a greater hold on your happiness. Once you accept the fact that every day is a new day to begin again, life becomes a much easier path to walk."

"What good is money if it can't buy happiness?"

"My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose."

"Happiness is a risk. If you’re not a little scared, then you’re not doing it right."

"Pure joy is rare. That’s why for every meal I eat a really bloody steak."

"and our few good times will be rare because we have the critical senseand are not easy to fool with laughter"

"dear today, i spend all of you pretending i'm okay when i'm not, pretending i'm happy when i'm not, pretending about everything to everyone."

"And I don't believe in such a thing as "happily ever after". There's only happily every now and then. I find the hardest trick is to recognize the now-and-thens, and to bask in them when they come. Happiness is a choice we make, like how to wear our hair, or having coffee with breakfast and tea at night."

"The summit of happiness is reached when a person is ready to be what he is."

"I needed to stop being what everyone thought I was."

"There is no happily-ever-after to run to. We have to work for happiness."

"Live life as though nobody is watching, and express yourself as though everyone is listening."

"Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. Why not you? Do not let another day go by where your dedication to other people's opinions is greater than your dedication to your own emotions! Today's a new day!"

"Sometimes you break your heart in the right way, if you know what I mean."

"The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be."

"Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort."

"When we lose our spiritual child then that is when we have grown old."
