What I've also noticed is the term happiness, or happy is intimidating to some people. Some people deny that it's even possible to be happy, or to achieve happiness. Happiness sounds like this magical destination that you arrive at and then everything is sort of solved, or it's different.

You can choose what you do, you cant choose what you like to do.

We tend to overestimate what we can do in a short period, and underestimate what we can do over a long period.

Happiness: "You Bring Your Own Weather To The Picnic."

The 20-minute walk I take is better than the 3-mile run I never start. Having people over for take-out is better than never having people to an elegant dinner party.

No one regrets having changed a lightbulb.

We must exercise ourselves in the things which bring happiness, since, if that be present, we have everything, and, if that be absent, all our actions are directed toward attaining it.
