I have found that the only thing that does bring you happiness is doing something good for somebody who is incapable of doing it for themselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Happiness is dependent on self-discipline. We are the biggest obstacles to our own happiness. It is much easier to do battle with society and with others than to fight our own nature.
Happiness is not something that just comes to you. It's an active process.
Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
Happiness can only be found if you can free yourself of all other distractions.
Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
Happiness must be cultivated. It is like character. It is not a thing to be safely let alone for a moment, or it will run to weeds.
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.
The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
I think the key to happiness is allowing ourselves to not feel bad or guilty for feeling it, and letting it be contagious. And to not be dependent on other people to create your own happiness.
Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one's self to do without it.
