I am quite miserable because I'm never satisfied with what I've got. You're always looking for that next high, and that is what I would define as happiness.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wasn't handed college or graduate school or anything else on a silver platter. I had to work very hard, but I did it because I wanted to. That's the real key to happiness. I think unhappy people are those who feel that circumstances are forcing them into a pattern. Happy people are not slaves to the system.
Happiness doesn't depend on how much you have to enjoy, but how much you enjoy what you have.
You don't find happiness by being able to buy everything you want, whenever you want it.
Nothing is miserable unless you think it is so.
I am as miserable as anyone - sometimes.
Happiness isn't getting what you want, it's wanting what you got.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable.
Happiness is just a positive perception from our brain. Some days, you will be unhappy. Our brain is a tool we use. It's not who we are.
I'm happy quite a lot of the time. I've done far more than I ever thought I would have, so I'd be very hard-pressed to walk around miserable.
Happiness to me is simply not being unhappy.
