We don't develop courage by being happy every day. We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Happy are those who dare courageously to defend what they love.
We've just learned how to balance ourselves a little better so that we're happier way more of the time than not, and, you know, being happy is a radical and desirable act if you ask me.
I never said I wanted a 'happy' life but an interesting one. From separation and loss, I have learned a lot. I have become strong and resilient, as is the case of almost every human being exposed to life and to the world. We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward.
If we are to be happy, we must first react against our tendency to follow the line of least resistance, a tendency that causes us either to remain as we are, or to look primarily to activities external to ourselves for what will provide new impetus to our lives.
We must have courage to bet on our ideas, to take the calculated risk, and to act. Everyday living requires courage if life is to be effective and bring happiness.
We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than in trying to be happy ourselves.
Creating ways to be happy is your life's work, a challenge that won't end until you die.
Optimism is the foundation of courage.
We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.
To live we must conquer incessantly, we must have the courage to be happy.
