The universe playing ball

"Just when we think we figure things out, the universe throws us a curved ball (...) so we have to improvise. (...) We find happinesss in unexpected places. (...) We find our way back to the things that matter the most. (...) The universe is funny that way. Sometimes it just has a way of making sure we end that exactly where we belong".

Grey's Anatomy, Series 7, Episode 20

Same amount of work

"We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same."
Carlos Castaneda

Quoted by Josh Radnor here

Be happy by being self(ish)?

"You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy."

The purpose of life is not to be happy

“The purpose of life is not to be happy - but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all.” Leo Rosten

Souls bigger than sour apples

"If we are so contemptibly selfish that we can't radiate a little happiness and pass on a bit of honest appreciation without trying to get something out of the other person in return - if our souls are no bigger than sour crab apples, we shall meet with the failure we so richly deserve. Oh yes, I did want something out of that chap. I wanted something priceless. And I got it. I got the feeling that I had done something for him without his being able to do anything whatever in return for me. That is a feeling that flows and sings in your memory lung after the incident is past."

"How to win friends and influence people" by Carnegie

Good, now, here, make others so

"Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so."
~Robert G. Ingersoll~

Siempre me siento feliz (I always feel happy)

"Siempre me siento feliz, ¿sabes por qué? Porque no espero nada de nadie, esperar siempre duele. Los problemas no son eternos, siempre tienen solución, lo único que no se resuelve es la muerte. La vida es corta, por eso ámala, se feliz y siempre sonríe, solo vive intensamente." William Shakespeare

Don't wait to be happy - Mother Theresa

"Non aspettare di finire l'università, di innamorarti, di trovare lavoro, di sposarti, di avere figli, di vederli sistemati, di perdere quei 10 chili, che arrivi il venerdì sera o la domenica mattina, la primavera, l'estate, l'autunno o l'inverno. Non c'è momento migliore di questo per essere Felice. La Felicità è un Percorso, Non una destinazione!! "
[Madre Teresa di Calcutta]
