How many ways are there to reach the state of being happy?
1. Happiness is not an aim, but a journey. If you seek for pleasure in the course of the journey, the course will become a destination, and what's more, it will be a prolonged, boundlessly beneficial destination for all your life.
2. The happy place is this place, and the happy moment is this moment. Remain standing here, seize the present moment, and you will be happy.
3. Happiness is mental before it is physical. In order to be physically happy to the full, you must first feel at ease and be free of worry. It is better to eat without meat than to have a load on your mind.
4. Happiness is the opposite of unhappiness; the decline of the one means the growth of the other. Release yourself from the unhappy mood and you will be happy.
5. Happiness is a matter of five cakes of bread and two fishes; the more you give out the more you will get back. Share your happiness with others and you will enjoy it most.
6. If your heart's desire is easily satisfied, your happiness will soon come to an end. In order that your happiness may last, you have to leave some of your desires unfulfilled.
7. When you are happy, you feel contented. You should also feel contented when you are unhappy. Be always full of zest and happiness will become an inveterate habit.
8. Happiness is a very strange thing. It will not turn up when you beckon it, call it, and solicit it. But when you feign complete indifference, it will fawn upon you, lean close to you and live with you. In dealing with happiness, you should adopt the strategy of leaving it at large to apprehend it the better.
9. Happiness is drifting from place to place. It is unwise as well as futile to try to retain it. You have got to keep on making new happiness, so that one happiness follows in the wake of another.
10. The greatest happiness you can gain is realizing that you are not necessarily in need of it.
有幾種方法可以達到快樂的境界呢？
1.快樂不是終點，而是一次旅程。如果你在旅程中尋找快樂，那過程就變成終點，而且是你生命中受益匪淺、意義深遠的終點。
2.快樂的地方就在此處，快樂的時刻就在此時。停留在此處，並抓住此刻，你就是快樂的。
3.快樂首先體現在精神上，而後是身體上。為了使身體上的快樂更加豐盈，你必須做到氣定神閑，毫無煩擾。寧可吃飯的時候無肉，也不要讓心中滿是負擔。
4.快樂與憂愁是相互對立的，此消彼長。從憂愁中解脫出來，才能享受到快樂。
5.快樂是用五塊餅釣兩條魚，付出的越多，得到的越多。與他人分享你的快樂，你會更快樂。
6.如果你心裏的願望很容易就得到滿足，那快樂也會很快結束。為了能延長你的快樂，就必須有未完成的願望。
7.當你快樂時，你會感到滿足；不開心時，也要保持心情舒暢。經常充滿熱情，快樂就會成為長久的習慣。
8.快樂是一種非常奇怪的東西，當你召喚它、呼喊它、懇求它時，它卻不出來；當你假裝不關心它時，它又來討好你、依偎著你、不離開你。與快樂打交道，你需要“欲擒故縱”。
9.快樂四處飄**，試圖抓住它，是愚昧又無用的。你需要製造新的快樂，以使快樂接連不斷。
10.你能獲得的最大快樂，就是意識到快樂並不是你的必需。
心靈小語
快樂就像在天上飛的風箏一樣，雖然有時你看不見，但線在你手中，它就不會飛遠。隻要你願意，快樂就會隨時圍繞著你，直到永遠。
