Ralph Marston Quotes

You have to take an active role in making yourself happy. That's why I say happiness is a choice. Because you have to choose it.

Master said if you want to be happy no one in the world can take happiness from you; if you want to be unhappy, no one in the world can make you happy. So choose to be happy.

Your joy lies within you.

No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

Success has to be an inside job. Happiness does not come from external material things. Even people don't make us ultimately happy. It's how we choose to deal with those things that happen in our lives that matters.

Happy is entirely up to you and always has been.

Happy people make people happy, but I can’t make someone be happy, and no one else can make me happy.

Happiness is actually an individual choice, even in the midst of negative circumstances. It's not something our employers can give to us, though they can limit and influence that choice.
