Yin and Yang of Happiness
Yin of Happiness (passive,
receptive)
Samuel Butler
Most people have never
learned
that one of the main aims in life is to
enjoy it.
Ramona L. Anderson
People spend a lifetime searching for
happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions,
religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that
plagues them. The irony is
the only place they ever needed to search was within.
Earl Nightingale
Learn to enjoy every minute of
your life.
Be happy
now. Don't wait for something outside of
yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is
the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family.
Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.
Dalai Lama of Tibet, the 14th
The fact that there is always a positive
side to life is the one thing that gives me a lot of happiness. This
world is not perfect. There are problems. But things like
happiness and
unhappiness are relative. Realising this gives you hope.
David Fontana,
Zen
Even the most mundane objects
are things of wonder, if we stop to look at them, and the fact that we
are alive is the biggest wonder of all.
Vadim Kotelnikov
The Secret of Happiness: Keep smiling at
your fate, and your will smile back at you.
Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe
Who is the happiest of men?
He who values the merits of others, and in their
pleasure takes
joy,
even as though t'were his own.
Yang of Happiness (active,
creative)
Benjamin
Disraeli
Action may not always bring happiness, but
there is no happiness without action.
Baba Amte
Happiness is a continuous
creative activity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I look on that man as happy, who, when
there is question of
success, looks into his work for a reply.
John Stuart Mill
Those only are happy who
have their minds
fixed on some object other than their own happiness: on the happiness of
others, on the improvement of mankind, even on some art or pursuit,
followed not as a means, but as itself the ideal end. Aiming thus at
something else, they find happiness by the way.
Albert
Schweitzer
Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success. If you
love what you are doing, you
will be successful.
Eleanor
Roosevelt
Since you get more
joy out of giving
joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the
happiness that you are able to give.
