Happiness Quotes
~ Smile! You Deserve Happinesss ~

Is it very hard for you to be happy? Here are some happiness quotes to cheer you up!

As Dalai Lama XIV said: “Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”

Therefore, stop drowning in negativity. Make yourself happy!

Here I’ve prepared some tips on how to be happy:

• Be responsible for yourself. No one ‘should’ make you happy. Hence, don’t blame or depend on others for your happiness. You are in charge of your own well being.
• Be good to yourself. Never push yourself too hard and make yourself stress. Love yourself more and give yourself a break.
• Be true to yourself. Happiness is not suppressing your emotions and opinions just to please the others. Speak up for yourself!
• Be brave to say ‘no’. Let go and stay away from the negative people who is bringing you down or killing your confidence, even he/she is your friend.
• Be understanding. Accept that things can never be perfect. Learn to appreciate the beauty of the flaw.
• Be forgiving. We can’t change yesterday, but we must live forward. Sometimes the best way to redeem past mistakes or regrets is to move on and live better.
• Be grateful. Stop envying others or chasing things endlessly. You’ll be content and happy when you’re thankful with what you have.
