Happy Thoughts

A small gift book, ‘a thousand paths to happiness’ has found its way into my life….This little book provides wise, witty and inspiring thoughts on happiness and was assembled by…David Baird….
I would like to quote several happiness thoughts for you…..

Happiness has the transforming power to free us from the pains and burdens of life.

Happiness leads none of us by the same route.

Happiness can make even familiar acts seem beautiful.

Happiness is bigger than any bank account.

What you are thinking now is contributing to the outcome of your life.
So control those …..negative….thoughts….

Allow yourself to be yourself….you can never be happy in someone else’s shoes.

Tolerate….and be happy.

Try doing the thing it is that you think you cannot do.

You will never be a failure when you are capable of enjoying life - - -
That should be the quest.

Do not waste time trying to bring disagreeable people around to liking you…

No matter who or what has wronged you, it is meaningless if you chose NOT to remember it….

You must try to become the person you would like to spend the rest of your life with.

Think of love and…be happy!

Sometimes you have to be prepared to….start anew.

Listen. Your heart will tell you the reasons for…JOY!

Anyone who can laugh heartily at themselves has found the way to happiness.

Happy people tend not to suffer from stress.

Laughter is a better medicine than any doctor can prescribe.

Happy people always seem to have…good energy.

Never take on so much work as to feel overburdened.

Happy people look at things differently.

You’ll never find happiness if you don’t allow yourself to express your feelings.

Happy people are more open to change.

Whatever you do, don’t withdraw yourself from other people.

To dwell on ….unhappiness…is a selfish act.

Be honest with yourself, if you cannot accept yourself as you are, how can you expect others to?

Just because you allow yourself to laugh doesn’t mean that you take life any less seriously. Happiness relies on humor and a sense of healthy perspective.

Ever noticed that people who live life deeply seem to have no fear of death?

No one can be you….better than you!

Place your trust in….serendipity!

He is happy that knoweth not himself to be otherwise….

We are all shaped by the things that make us happy.

To bring up a child in the way he should go,
…..travel that way yourself once in a while.

Happiness belongs to those who can realize they are ….
……where they want to be.

The path of error can become the path of truth, if only error is recognized….

“I never get to go anywhere” he said, standing on the rotating earth.

Love to travel, but do not make the road your home.

Until you know yourself there is little point in trying to know others.

Never think that you have….finished learning.

One must expect to smile and also to weep on the road to happiness.

Don’t be so intent upon your own journey that you forget to stop and help others along the way.

Most of us would like to be remembered for something that …..
……made others happy…

Why do we seem unhappy at the thought of relaxing?

A smile….costs nothing.

Why be happy? Who wants to be happy ALL the time?


….One of my favorites…..In Youth…we are happy for no reason at all …
In age….we pretend to be happy for millions of reasons.

Finally….in conclusion….
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are….Life, Liberty, and the….
…..pursuit of Happiness.
