We trouble ourselves less to become happy, than to make others believe we are so.

Your success and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them. But to be happy it is essential not to be too concerned with others. Consequently, there is no escape. Happy and judged, or absolved and wretched.

If our condition were truly happy we should not need to divert ourselves from thinking about it.

If our state were really happy, we should not need to take our minds off it in order to make ourselves happy.

We need people to feel happy and fulfilled and loved so they don’t take their shit out on themselves and other people and the planet and our animal friends.

We shouldn’t do things so we can be happy. We should be happy so we can do things.

If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present.

It's like a rule of life that yer automatically happier when you don't gotta worry about something.

Happiness to me is mainly not suffering, not desiring, not thinking too much about the future or the past, really embracing the present moment and the reality of what is, and the way it is. [4]

There's one golden rule to keep before you: laugh about everything and don't bother yourself about the others!

In order to be utterly happy the only thing necessary is to refrain from comparing this moment with other moments in the past, which I often did not fully enjoy because I was comparing them with other moments of the future.

Happiness comes from seeing ourselves as being okay, just as we are, today, without comparison to others, without reference to the way we were or the way we fear we will be.

Do not concern yourself with the right and wrong of others. Do not be calculating or act unnaturally

Be happy without picking flaws.
