How many ways are there to reach the state of being happy?
1. Happiness is not an aim, but a journey. If you seek for pleasure in the course of the journey, the course will become a destination, and what's more, it will be a prolonged, boundlessly beneficial destination for all your life.
2. The happy place is this place, and the happy moment is this moment. Remain standing here, seize the present moment, and you will be happy.
3. Happiness is mental before it is physical. In order to be physically happy to the full, you must first feel at ease and be free of worry. It is better to eat without meat than to have a load on your mind.
4. Happiness is the opposite of unhappiness; the decline of the one means the growth of the other. Release yourself from the unhappy mood and you will be happy.
5. Happiness is a matter of five cakes of bread and two fishes; the more you give out the more you will get back. Share your happiness with others and you will enjoy it most.
6. If your heart's desire is easily satisfied, your happiness will soon come to an end. In order that your happiness may last, you have to leave some of your desires unfulfilled.
7. When you are happy, you feel contented. You should also feel contented when you are unhappy. Be always full of zest and happiness will become an inveterate habit.
8. Happiness is a very strange thing. It will not turn up when you beckon it, call it, and solicit it. But when you feign complete indifference, it will fawn upon you, lean close to you and live with you. In dealing with happiness, you should adopt the strategy of leaving it at large to apprehend it the better.
9. Happiness is drifting from place to place. It is unwise as well as futile to try to retain it. You have got to keep on making new happiness, so that one happiness follows in the wake of another.
10. The greatest happiness you can gain is realizing that you are not necessarily in need of it.
