The Happiness Equation

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

Carrying out five random acts of kindness a week dramatically improves your happiness.

“I am convinced that life is 10% what happens and 90% how I react to it.”

Work expands to fill the space available and the result is lower quality.

Buddha says, “You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

None of us can control our emotions. We can only control our reactions to our emotions.

We scan the world for problems because that led to our survival. And our current design of the world only reinforces and grows these negative-lens feelings.

There is nothing more satisfying than being loved for who you are and nothing more painful than being loved for who you’re not but pretending to be.

Happy people don’t have the best of everything. They make the best of everything. Be happy first.
