Quotes about Happy

I was happy but happy is an adult word. You don't have to ask a child about happy, you see it. They are or they are not. Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not. Talking about it is the same as trying to catch the wind. Much easier to let it blow all over you. This is where I disagree with the philosophers. They talk about passionate things but there is no passion in them. Never talk happiness with a philosopher.

If the mind is happy,
not only the body
but the whole world will be happy. 
So one must find out
how to become happy oneself. 
Wanting to transform the world
without discovering one's true self
is like trying to cover the whole world with leather
to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. 
It is much simpler to wear shoes.

If we accept all that is wrong about us – and despite it, believe that we are deserving of a happy life – then we will have thrown open an immense window that will allow love to enter.

You can measure the impeccability of your word by your level of self-love. How much you love yourself and how you feel about yourself are directly proportionate to the quality and integrity of your word. When you are impeccable with your word, you feel good; you feel happy and at peace. You can transcend the dream of hell just by making the agreement to be impeccable with your word. Right now I am planting that seed in your mind. Whether or not the seed grows depends upon how fertile your mind is for the seeds of love. It is up to you to make this agreement with yourself: I am impeccable with my word. Nurture this seed, and as it grows in your mind, it will generate more seeds of love to replace the seeds of fear. This first agreement will change the kind of seeds your mind is fertile for.

"To know how to align long magnetic waves on the land into flowers, grid engineering, is to teach a planet to hold atmosphere, to make coherent climate, to actually create gravity by symmetry. Our human role in this symbiosis is the electricity of our emotional field, literally braiding feeling into environment. This is the destiny for biology; to metabolize starlight directly."

You can't take sides against anything. If you would just be one who is for things, you would live happily ever after. If you could just leave the "against" part out.

Being happy is the cornerstone of all that you are! Nothing is more important than that you feel good! And you have absolute and utter control about that because you can choose the thought that makes you worry or the thought that makes you happy; the things that thrill you, or the things that worry you. You have the choice in every moment.

Quote

There's nothing I have to have, there's nothing I have to do, and there's nothing I have to be, except exactly what I am being right now.
That does not mean that "having" and "doing" will be eliminated from your life. It means that  what you experience yourself having or doing will spring from your being - not lead you to it.
When you come from "happiness", you do certain things because you are happy - as opposed to the old paradigm in which you did things that you hoped would make you happy.
When you come from "wisdom", you do certain things because you are wise, not because you are trying to get to wisdom.
When you come from "love", you do certain things because you are love, not because you want to have love.

Everything changes; everything turns around, when you come from "being", rather than seeking to "be." You cannot "do" your way to "being". Whether you are trying to "be" happy, be wise, be love - or be God - you cannot "get there" by doing. And yet, it is true that you will be doing wonderful things once you "get there."

Here is the Divine Dichotomy. The way to "get there" is to "be there." Just be where you choose to get!
It's that simply. There's nothing you have to do. You want to be happy? Be happy. You want to be wise? Be wise. You want to be love?

Be love.

That is Who You Are in any event.

You are my Beloved.

Being happy requires that you define your life in your own terms and then throw your whole heart into living your life to the fullest. In a way, happiness requires that you be perfectly selfish in order to develop yourself to a point where you can be unselfish for the rest of your life.

Pleasure is great- but it doesn't last. Pleasure comes from your five senses. From a great meal, a nice glass of wine and a new car. Nothing wrong with these things- they make the experience of life better. But they are fleeeting...

Happiness is the DNA of pleasure. My point is simply this: Pleasure comes from something on the outside. Happiness comes from within. It's a state you create by choice. It's a decision. It's an act of will.

People can be happy while they are going through great pain and adversity. There's no pleasure evident in their external lives yet they are content on the inside. And conversely, tons of people are surrounded by pleasure (fast cars, nice homes, great clothes) but there is no joy within. So choose to be happy.
