Happiness is an attitude

Do you know that of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important?

If your heart is unhappy, your face will show it, true or not?

Likewise, if your heart overflows with joy, it is also quite plain to see.

Happiness is an excitement, a thrill of some sorts, a condition of bliss; the opposite of which you can say is misery.

So the question to ask oneself often is why become miserable when you can be happy?

Isn’t it true that for every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness?

Happiness is a not exactly a goal that we specifically seek because if you pursue happiness, you’ll never find it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne had observed a long time ago when he said, “Happiness is a butterfly which when pursued is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”

Now, can we actually become happy when we are sad?

The answer is surprisingly yes, that is if we could consciously change our disposition.

It has been said that happiness is an attitude; we either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount of work is the same.

Lift up your face and smile; you might be surprised to see how a wonderful change will take place!

Remember the expression, “Smile and the whole world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone!” So cry doesn't help, does it?

The experts tell us that it isn't our position, or our situation but our disposition which makes us happy.

One of the best ways for a person to have happy thoughts is to count his blessings and not his cash.

Happiness is often knowing what we want and not killing ourselves to get it.

A Chinese proverb says, “Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come.” See what I mean.

Happiness they say is a by-product of an effort, sometimes an effort to make someone else happy.

As someone has said, “You will experience happiness yourself when you make someone else happy.”

Indeed, blessed are those who can give happiness to others. But don’t just be a giver of happiness, be one brimming with it yourselves.

Yes, try always to be happy. It's one way of being wise.

Further, being happy actually helps to keep one in the picture of health!

A guy H.W. Byles said this, “Cheerfulness is what greases the axles of the world. Don't go through life creaking.” That’s good advice.

In conclusion let me say this, “The best vitamin to be a happy person is B1.” Hope you get it.

Cheers!
