Happiness is a way of travel – not a destination

 The way to be happy is to make others so. Robert Green Ingersoll  Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open. John Barrymore  Happiness is a way of travel – not a destination. Roy M. Goodman  Happiness is not by chance, but by choice. Jim Rohn  You have to take an active role in making yourself happy. That's why I say happiness is a choice. Because you have to choose it. Shay Carl  I think happiness is a choice. I believe luck is your attitude. It sounds like a really annoying bumper sticker. But there is such a great truth in that. You choose how you want to feel about what happens to you. I could have been a miserable failure.

Do something, think something, often enough and it will become the only thing you can do or think. Choose to be unhappy and soon that’s all you will be. Live in a swamp and you’ll grow webbed feet. Nicholas Evans  I usually say the aim of life is to be happy. Our existence is based on hope. Our life is rooted in the opportunity to be happy, not necessarily wealthy, but happy within our own minds. If we only indulge in sensory pleasure, we'll be little different from animals. In fact, we have this marvellous brain and intelligence; we must learn to use it. Dalai Lama  I swear to god; happiness is the best makeup. Drew Barrymore  Scientifically, ha...
