Why not make cheerfulness, outrageousness, playfulness a new priority for yourself? Make feeling good your expectation. You don’t have to have a reason to feel good — you’re alive; you can feel good for no reason at all!

¿Qué hacer con esta felicidad que nos llega sin motivo especial, esta felicidad que no requiere nada para existir?

The common misconception is that you’ll feel good only once you have what you want. The truth is that you can feel good right now.

What can we do with this happiness that appears for no obvious reason, the joy that needs no cause to exist?

I am happy even before I have a reason.

It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive.

You are alive, and you don’t need to justify your existence. You can be the biggest mystery in your own story.

My faith is whatever makes me feel good about being alive. If your religion doesn't make you feel good to be alive, what the hell is the point of it?

How nice — to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive.

My philosophy, if you can call it that, is that I am happy because there is no sufficient reason why I should be unhappy.

Don't be sorry. You're alive.

You feel good, you feel bad, and these feelings are bubbling from your own unconsciousness, from your own past. Nobody is responsible except you. Nobody can make you angry, and nobody can make you happy.

Be happy — if you're not even happy, what's so good about surviving?

The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
