Myrtle Reed Quotes

Felicity, the companion of content, is rather found in our own breasts than in the enjoyment of external things; and I firmly believe it requires but a little philosophy to make a man happy in whatever state he is.

Happiness lies in your own hand

Our joy does not have to be based on our circumstances.

When you feel good, everything around you is good, when everything around you is great, everything makes you happy. You are loving everything that is around you, because you are loving yourself. Because you like the way you are. Because you are happy with your life. You are happy with the movie that you are producing, happy with your agreements with life. You are at peace, and you are happy. You live in that state of bliss where everything is so wonderful, and everything is so beautiful. In that state of bliss you are making love all the time with everything that you perceive.

Tell everyone you know: "My happiness depends on me, so you're off the hook." And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they're doing. Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for the way you feel-and then, you'll love them all. Because the only reason you don't love them, is because you're using them as your excuse to not feel good.

Happiness is your own treasure because it lies within you.

I've realized through the years that I just find happiness in other things, whether it's my dogs or my friends or, like, looking at the sunset.

Genuine happiness comes from within, and often it comes in spontaneous feelings of joy.

It's so much easier to be happy. It's so much easier to choose to love the things that you have, instead of always yearning for what you're missing, or what it is that you're imagining you're missing. It is so much more peaceful.

The key to happiness is the decision to be happy

Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.

Being joyful isn't what makes you grateful. Being grateful is what makes you joyful.
