Pearls of Wisdom

East

If you can find true contentment, it will last forever.

LaoTzu

A well guarded mind brings happiness. Those who are free from all worldly desires will attain Nirvana. Never covet what others have. It is deadly sin which grows away from all happiness. Learn to be happy with what you have.

Buddha

They must often change who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.

Confucius

Even the most mundane objects are things of wonder, if we stop to look at them, and the fact that we are alive is the biggest wonder of all.

– David Fontana, Zen

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

– The 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet

Happiness is a continuous creative activity.

Baba Amte (born in 1915), Founder of the "Sanctuary of Love", Anandwan, India

Absolutely, God's allies will have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
They are those who believe and lead a righteous life. For them happiness in this life, and in the Hereafter. Such is God's inviolable law.
This is the true triumph.

Quran

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

– Mahatma Gandhi

 West

Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.

– Francesca Reigler

Happiness, if attainable at all, must be sought by reflection upon things that are remote from the impressions of sense.

– Plotinus (A.D. 204-270), the Founder of Neoplatonism

The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage.

Thucydides (B.C. 460 – 400)

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

– Earl Nightingale

We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.

– George Bernard Shaw

I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Those only are happy who have their minds fixed on some object other than their own happiness: on the happiness of others, on the improvement of mankind, even on some art or pursuit, followed not as a means, but as itself the ideal end. Aiming thus at something else, they find happiness by the way.

– John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)

There is no such thing as happiness, for an unfulfilled wish causes pain, and attainment brings only satiety.

– Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

As for happiness, it is not something you experience, it's something you remember.

– Mark Twain

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.

– Ramona L. Anderson

Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords.

– Samuel Johnson

There is no stress in the world, only people thinking stressful thoughts and then acting on them.

– Wayne Dyer

Happiness Defined

Yin and Yang of Happiness

"Finding happiness is like finding yourself. You don't find happiness, you make happiness. You choose happiness. Self-actualization is a process of discovering who you are, who you want to be and paving the way to happiness by doing what brings YOU the most meaning and contentment to your life over the long run." David Leonhardt

Life-Business Synergy

Happiness is not about life-business balance, it's about Life-Business Synergy.

Successful people win because they love what they do. Actually, your noble passion is your mission. If you find your true passion and devote yourself to it, you’ll find harmony and happiness in your life. You’ll be achieving great results continually and effortlessly.

Find the Balance

Balance is a key element of a happy life and sustainable business.

Yin (passive, receptive) and Yang (active, creative) are both opposing forces and complementary pairs. Problems arise not when the two forces are battling, but when there is an imbalance between them in the environment. Conflicts, business problems, health disorders, divorce, and other problems – all can be attributed to disharmony in the forces of Yin and Yang... More

"Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." – Nathaniel Hawthorne... More

"Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort." – Franklin Roosevelt... More

Choose To Be Happy

The only source of happiness – and unhappiness – comes from inside yourself.

Happiness is not something that comes to you. It is something you create now, today.  Waiting for something to change in order to be happy is waiting to live your life. It is not what happens to you that counts. It is how you react to what happens to you. It is your attitude. When you adopt a positive attitude, life becomes a rewarding adventure instead of something to get through.

Knowing What You Want

Do you have a dream? Do you want something to change in your life? Not knowing what you want can be a confusing, frustrating and miserable time. Discover what it is that you want, what goals will make you happy.

Knowing Your Higher Self

 

Like everyone, you want joy, happiness and life purpose. "But the problem is, most people are looking in all the wrong places. Career. Money. Relationships. Power.  Yet, esoteric teachings claim all answers lie within you. They describe a secret jewel inside within the heart. The treasure of infinite value. The divine essence called... The Higher Self."4

Buddhism about Happiness

"The first step in seeking happiness is learning. We first have to learn how negative emotions and behaviors are harmful to us and how positive emotions are helpful. We must also realize that these negative emotions are not only very bad and harmful to one personally, but are also harmful to society and the future of the whole world," teaches Dalai Lama.

Everyone wants to be happy and no one wants to suffer, but very few people understand the real causes of happiness and suffering. We tend to look for happiness outside ourselves, thinking that if we had the right house, the right car, the right job, and the right friends we would be truly happy. We spend almost all our time adjusting the external world, trying to make it conform to our wishes. All our life we have tried to surround ourselves with people and things that make us feel comfortable, secure, or stimulated, yet still we have not found pure and lasting happiness.

It is time we sought happiness from a different source. Happiness is a state of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions. If our mind is pure and peaceful we shall be happy, regardless of our external circumstances, but if it is impure and unpeaceful we can never be truly happy, no matter how hard we try to change our external conditions. We could change our home or our partner countless times, but until we change our restless, discontented mind we shall never find true happiness.

 Case in Point  The Dalai Lama's Approach

Dalai Lama believes that happiness can be achieved through compassion and training the mind.

From his perspective there is an inextricable link between one's own personal happiness and kindness and caring and compassion towards others. It's not only from the Dalai Lama's perspective from his particular view of life and Buddhist philosophy but also from the scientific standpoint that shows that happy people are much more likely to show compassion.

What's remarkable is this amazing link between happiness and kindness towards others. Happier people are more likely to help the other person. But the Dalai Lama feels that it works the other way around as well.

 

That the deliberate cultivation of kindness and compassion and caring and tolerance and forgiveness and these type of things will make one a happier person.

Dalai Lama's approach to achieving happiness begins with distinguishing between spirituality and religion. To have a spiritual dimension in your life, you should appreciate your potential as a human being and recognize the importance of inner transformation through a process of mental development.

The art of happiness has many components. It begins with developing an understanding of what are the truest sources of happiness and setting your priorities in life based on the cultivation of those sources. "It involves an inner discipline, a gradual process of rooting out destructive mental states and replacing them with positive, constructive states of mind, such as kindness, tolerance, and forgiveness."2 Balance is a key element of a happy life.

Knowing You Are Competent and Capable

Being inwardly happy (knowing you are competent and capable) automatically improves levels of quality and excellence in your work.  Understand that inner happiness only comes about via Self esteem + Self respect + Personal Pride.  Get these ingredients right and with careful written planning the rest will simply fall into place... More

The Importance of Values and Mission

The clearer you are about what you value and believe in, and what you stand for, the happier and more effective you will be. The values you choose for yourself, and the order of priority you place on your choices, will determine your approach to your life and work... More

 Case in Point  Bertrand Russell about Happiness

"There is not law of nature guaranteeing that mankind should be happy. Everybody can see that this is true of our life here on earth, but by a curious twist our very sufferings in this life are made into an argument for a better life hereafter. We should not employ such an argument in any other connection. If you had bought ten dozen eggs from a man, and the first dozen were all rotten, you would not infer that the remaining nine dozen must be of surpassing excellence; yet that is the kind of reasoning that "the heart" encourages as a consolation for our sufferings here below."1
