Happiness Thoughts

 

If you want happiness for an hour — take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day — go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year — inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime — help someone else.
-- Chinese Proverb

I am responsible for my choices and actions...
I am responsible for my personal happiness.

 If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires.

 Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
