IN SEARCH OF HAPPINESS




Words of Spiritual Teachers

Happiness is a present attitude and not a future condition.
(Hugh Prather)

Happiness happens when your consciousness is not dominated by addictions and demands.
(Ken Keyes)

Happiness is appreciating, learning from, and working with whatever happens in everyday life. The natural result of this harmonious way of living is happiness.
(Benjamine Hoff)
  
The moment I ceased to rely so desperately on others for my happiness, I found it in myself.
(Liv Ulman)

Wisdom, happiness, and courage are not waiting somewhere out beyond sight at the end of a straight line; they are part of a continuous cycle that begins right here. They are not only the ending, but the beginning as well.
(Benjamine Hoff)

The state of creativeness by itself brings happiness.
(J. Krishnamurti)

Do you want to be happy? You can begin by being appreciative of who you are and what you’ve got.
(Benjamine Hoff)

Real happiness does not exist because each and everything is so unstable.
(Buddha)

The brain doesn’t care if its stimulation is happy or sad, and once it receives that stimulation, it is unwilling to give it up easily. Change your negative thoughts and open your mind and heart to the joy of day to day life.
(Paul Pearsall)

There is no separation between sadness and happiness in life and we should not prefer one to the other. We should be able to live fully with both and hold both in our heart to experience balance and completeness. This is what is behind rituals and life is a ritual of mindfulness.
(Pema Chodron)

Be present enough to recognize happiness!
(Bernard De Koven)

Acknowledging the preciousness of each day is a good way to live, a good way to reconnect with our basic joy.
(Pema Chodron)
  
What do the sad people have in common?
It seems they have all
built a shrine to the past.
What is the beginning of happiness?
It is to stop doing that.
(Hafiz)

The secret of happiness is to observe and see all the marvels of the world, and never forget what is entrusted to you.
(Paulo Coelho)

There are five things we cannot change and we find happiness by embracing them:

·       Everything changes and ends
·       Things do not always go according to plan
·       Life is not always fair
·       Pain is part of life
·       People are not loving and loyal all the time
(David Richo)

Happiness is our natural state and it cannot be acquired. We don’t have to add anything in order to be happy but we’ve got to drop somethings which are the illusions, the cravings and the negative feelings that we have.
(Anthony De Mello)
