Bo Burnham Quotes

Focus on where you are instead of where you wish you were. The joy will follow.

Acceptance is the magic that makes change possible. It is not forever, it is for the present moment

Happiness is your own treasure because it lies within you.

I've learned that the perfect picture that I hold in my mind of what my life looks like is constantly changing, growing, evolving. I remind myself that I am exactly where I need to be in my life; otherwise, I would surely be somewhere else.

Happiness is an inside job.

All I can focus on is what I can control and that's being happy. My own happiness.

Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Be happy with who you are and know that being you is the best thing you can do for yourself. You've got a long time to figure everything out and there's no rush. Enjoy the now.

To be happy, you must live in, but not for, the present moment.

My goal is to try to be as happy as I can - going through every day just as it is.

Authentic happiness is always independent of external conditions. Vigilantly practice polite indifference to that which we can't control. Your happiness can only be found within.

Gradually as you become curator of your own contentment, you will learn to embrace the gentle yearnings of your heart.

You're always on your way somewhere. The key is: find a way to be happy wherever you now are on your way to where you really want to be. (We're speaking of the state of being you want.) It does not matter where you are; where you are is shifting constantly - but you must turn your attention to where you want to go. And that's the difference between making the best of something and making the worst of something.

The life you want begins by embracing the life you have.

You have to be content with who you are on a day-to-day basis.

You will never find happiness until you stop looking for it.

I don't burden myself too much with others' expectations - or even my own expectations. I think your happiness grows in direct proportion to your acceptance, and in inverse proportion to your expectations. It's just a matter of putting one foot in front of the other - or doing the next right thing, so to speak.

Be happy now, without reason - or you never will be at all.

The truth is that nothing has to happen in order for you to feel good.

May God grant me love for that which has splendor; but in this time of my life let me strive for attainable things.

Stop attaching so much weight to being right. In the grand scheme of things, being right is insignificant compared with being happy.

The past doesn't define you, your present does. It's okay to create a vision of the future because it affects your behavior in the "now," but don't dwell on past mistakes. Learn from them and focus those lessons in the moment. That's where change can really happen.

If you think that peace and happiness are somewhere else and you run after them, you will never arrive.

I'm in a happy place. I'm very at peace with who I am and what I'm doing and the people around me, so I think I'm probably most ambitious at where I am.

Through a long and painful process, I've learned that happiness is an inside job - not based on anything or anyone in the outer material world. I've become a different and better person - not perfect, but still a work in progress.

This age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.
