Zig Ziglar Quotes

Happiness is inward, and not outward; and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are.

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

I h a v e a l l t h a t I r e q u e s t e d and I do not want what I haven't got. I have learned this from my mother ; see how happy she has made me. I will take this road much further though I know not where it takes me.

Enjoy all you have while pursuing all you want.

Happiness is your own treasure because it lies within you.

I'm having the life that I kind of hoped I might have one time, you know? I do feel like I have a place here. And, at least, I deserve it, as much as anybody else, hopefully.

I have come a long way and learnt a lot. I read this quote about a year ago: 'Happiness must not be pursued; it must ensue.' It's made me realise that just being married again or something like that won't make me happy; the happiness ensues from how we live our lives.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

I don't have the recipe for happiness, but I think the engine is simply having the desire.

Happiness can't start with external stuff, whether that's money or success or your body.

My life is exactly the way it needs to be.

Success now is waking up in the morning and being comfortable in my own skin. You can go to a job that pays well, but if you're not happy in yourself or if you're not grateful for what you have, it means nothing.

When your primary function is to be happy, then whatever comes to you is irrelevant. Happiness is your true manifestation.

If you have everything you want in life, including money, fame and being asked out on dates by 20 cute boys, and you are still unhappy then you have to go deep within yourself to fix the issue.

Well, I am happy, and I won't fret, but it does seem as if the more one gets the more one wants.

As long as we think our lives are not good enough (materially), we will not have happiness. As soon as we realize our lives are good enough, happiness immediately appears. That is the practice of contentment.

That man has the fewest wants who is the least anxious for wealth.

Are these things really better than the things I already have? Or am I just trained to be dissatisfied with what I have now?

If we're not enjoying what we've got...and even if we do get 'more,' we won't enjoy that, either.

What I know for sure: Having the best things is no substitute for having the best life. When you can let go of the desire to acquire, you know you are really on your way.

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.

That man is never happy for the present is so true, that all his relief from unhappiness is only forgetting himself for a little while. Life is a progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment.

He that studies his content, wants it.

The better we are at accepting the limits of our world, the more easily we can embrace what we have.

The reason you want every single thing that you want, is because you think you will feel really good when you get there. But, if you don't feel really good on your way to there, you can't get there. You have to be satisfied with what-is while you're reaching for more.
