If you want true love and a long-lasting marriage, you need to start by figuring out what makes you happy.
When you realise that money doesn't actually make you happy, it's a quick fix to have things you've always wanted, but then when you have it, you realise that's not what actually makes you happy. It's more about having a great marriage and happy children; that's what life's all about.
The absence of feeling bad isn't enough to make you happy; you must strive to find sources of feeling good
In the end it all comes down to this: you have a choice (or more accurately a rolling tangle of choices) between giving your work your best shot and risking that it will not make you happy, or not giving it your best shot - and thereby guaranteeing that it will not make you happy. It becomes a choice between certainty and uncertainty. And curiously, uncertainty is the comforting choice.
Ultimately, it's a really brave thing to do what makes you happy as opposed to what the norm, or the social norm is, and that's a very important thing for people to remember, especially young women.
The destination you think is going to make you happy, doesn't. I always find myself thinking, "I'm getting ready right now, but when I get to the party it's going to be great!" Once at the party, I find myself going, "Man, can't wait to get in bed tonight. I'm pooped." It's like that with my career, too.
I think - and even with the Live Chin Up movement - it's about women doing things for themselves. Being empowered. Doing things that make you happy. I believe in that philosophy.
Anything that activates the joy center in the brain makes you happy, and therefore protects you. Oddly enough, that's what they do in 'Harry Potter': The nurse gives the kids chocolates when they've been near the Dementors!
It gets better. It gets so much easier to be in your skin no matter what size that skin is. If you do something that you're good at and that makes you happy, that's the best outlet that I could ever suggest to anybody....if you are able to just enjoy who you are, and if you can learn to love who you are, then you'll just be a much happier person.
What you get will never make you happy; who you become will make you very happy or very sad.
Happiness is not dependent on experience. What you experience shouldn't make you happy or unhappy when you know how to be happy.
The fulfillment of desire does not necessarily make you happy because there is a satiation factor. You can get some apple pie and eat it. If this is what makes you happy, why not eat ten?
If you examine your motive for doing anything, you'll soon discover that your reason is that you believe it will make you happy.
Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favour that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace.
Money will not make you happy, and happy will not make you money.
There is no harder thing to give up than the thing that was supposed to make you happy.
Just be happy, and if you can't be happy, do things that make you happy. Or do nothing with the people that make you happy.
If it makes you happy it can't be that bad
Here's conventional wisdom: Success makes you happy. Happiness permits you to be generous. In fact, it actually works like this: Generosity makes you happy. Happy people are more likely to be successful.
If you equate happiness with success, you will never achieve the amount of success necessary to make you happy.
Your brain is not designed to make you happy. That's your job!
When you feel good, everything around you is good, when everything around you is great, everything makes you happy. You are loving everything that is around you, because you are loving yourself.
Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.
Fame does not make you happy. It just makes you look in the mirror a lot, worrying about how you look today for your audience.
I know a lot of wealthy people in West Los Angeles. Money doesn't necessarily make you happy.
