"You can't eat happiness
\n\tYou can't buy it. You can't wear it.
\n\tYou can't drive it, or drink it, or sell it, or steal it.
\n\tYou can't lock it away. You can't negotiate for it.
\n\tYou can't win it, you can't marry it, you can't inherit it,
\n\tyou can't cheat it. You can't smoke it, or inject it,
\n\tor rent it or borrow it. You can't campaign for it
\n\tor beg for it, or talk other people into giving you theirs."<\/p>\n
"You can live happiness. You can create it. You can be it.
\n\tYou can give it to others. You can enjoy it. You can share it.
\n\tYou can claim it. You can have as much as you wish.
\n\tYou can enjoy it as much as you want, at any time,
\n\tunder any circumstance. You can work with it,
\n\tplay with it, worship, travel, eat, and sleep with it.
\n\tHappiness is yours to live and yours to give, if only you will.
\n\tIt comes from the inside, and the best way to experience
\n\tit is to get it flowing out."<\/p>\n
"Forget about trying and striving to get happy. "The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for." "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." "A person will be just as happy as they make up their minds to be." "Realize 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." "Unhappiness is not knowing what we want and killing ourselves to get it." "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go." "Pleasure has its price. "Happiness is a question of good health and a bad memory." "Happiness stems from a clear conscience." "The most revolutionary act one can commit in our world is to be happy." "In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy." "Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length." "The full use of your powers along lines of excellence." "The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do." "Practice being happy whenever and as much as possible! Being happy makes you feel good!" "You are always already happy. The reason you don't experience it is that it's covered up by layers of suppressed emotions and negative thoughts. Shift your attention and your inherent happiness flashes forth." "There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way." "The recipe for happiness is to accept completely whatever comes and don't care about what doesn't." "To me, happiness is traveling. "Happiness is like a cat. If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you. It will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing up against your legs and jumping into your lap." "Getting what you go after is success; but liking it while you are getting it is happiness." "Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it is too late. Today, this hour, this minute is the day, the hour, the minute for each of us to sense the fact that life is good, with all of its trials and troubles, and perhaps more interesting because of them." "Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude." 24 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" < "You can't eat happiness You can't buy it.

\n\tNot really "me" traveling, but my Heartsongs traveling.
\n\tWhen the songs in my heart travel out and around the world
\n\tIn the things that I say and in the poems and stories that I write
\n\tAnd in the prayers that I feel to God,
\n\tAnd when the letters and words of those Heartsongs bring some
\n\tPeace to the countries and people who have war in their lives,
\n\tThat is real happiness to me."
