To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Not being happy really is my fear.
To be happy is only to have freed one's soul from the unrest of unhappiness.
Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.
I'm just living each day, and I'm better equipped to do so. I mean, I used to be totally afraid, I used to have, like, permanent stage fright. But now I'm trying to have fun. I'm trying to bring as much happiness to as many people as possible.
Happiness is a mysterious concept. It seems to work best as futurity: at that point I will be happy, et cetera. I feel like I experience small pieces of joy day to day.
We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than in trying to be happy ourselves.
Happiness was not made to be boasted, but enjoyed. Therefore tho others count me miserable, I will not believe them if I know and feel myself to be happy; nor fear them.
Where fear is, happiness is not.
Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary and everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self.
Sometimes, it is precisely when you discover that you are living very happily that you suddenly find yourself in danger. To be happy means to discover that you are exposed to being hurt.
