Happiness is inside us. It is in our mind. If we think we are happy, we are. Just by thinking we can make ourselves happy or unhappy. Be positive, be optimistic, see the brighter side of life and you will always be happy. Mind has power over matter. Just by thinking of good things, we can make good things to happyen us and make us happy. See the rose, not the thorns; see light, not the shadow; see half-full glass, not half-empty.

Nature is one of the greatest sources of happiness to all living beings. The secret of happiness is being near nature. Nature is free and abundant. It is available to all regardless of one's race, nationality, religion, and sex. Nature is happiness.

If you aren't happy, why aren't you?

To be happy is our prime duty because universe and life were created against impossible odds for our happiness. If after the big bang the rate of expansion of the universe was little slow or fast, if the size and distance or quality of its radiation was little difference, if the electrical charge of electrons and protons was not equal and opposite, the universe and life could not have begin and survived.

To be happy one should do one's duty without attachment to its results. In Gita Lord Krishna teaches this philosophy of Nismam Karm to Arjun. If we are not too anxious about the success or failure of our efforts but are interested in only doing our duty to the best of our ability, we do not become unhappy when the results are not as expected. Doing our duty is under our powers not its results.

Happiness is not something that others can take from you. It's something that you would have to throw away on your own.

I was always somebody who felt quite sorry for myself, what I had not got compared to my friends, how much of a struggle my life seemed to be compared to others. I was caught up in a web of negativity and needed someone or something to help me to escape.

Happiness is not far away. Happiness is very near. It is not outside. It is at home. It is in the family. Home is the happiest place to live in. The love of parents, brother and sisters, wife and children give us is priceless happiness. We also are happy giving love and affection to our family. The love of our family is selfless. To be happy we must learn to be happy at home and with our family. If we cannot be happy at home, we cannot be happy outside of it. The search of happiness outside the family is a mirage. The Happiest Place to Live in is Home!

At the age of twenty two, I read a book that described the importance of having a goal in life. In the books example, a survey had been carried out at a school. Students who had just taken their GCSE'S were asked to answer various questions, one of which asked, "Where would you like to be in five years time?"

Worry is silent killer. Nothing is solved by worrying. Worrying about past is futile, worrying about future is folly. JUst act in the present. Worry is the root cause of many physical and mental illnesses. Worry is a great waste of time and energy.
