Imagined happiness is still happiness.

It's none of your concern what others say or think about you. Your happiness is your own responsibility.

Be happy. Be happy for no reason at all. Believe it or not, you have the ability and free agency to make that choice.

There are still blue skies and rainbows and days bathed in sunlight. There are colorful shade trees filled with sweet bird songs. And there are wishing stars in the heavens as well as angels in God's service. So lift up your eyes. Refuse to be unhappy.

Happiness is feeling confident that the god of this universe is pleased with the things you say and do.

Success, even happiness, is not about doing what is easy, it is about doing what is right… especially when it is not easy.

Happiness, thou art naught but an illusion. Thy enchantments are cast upon my eyes, my mind, my spellbound heart. Dependent upon nothing but thy victim's perception of thee, souls soar at thy artful hand! I have fallen in love with thy illusions, Happiness. Thou hast made me a part of them, and I am left delirious.

Have you noticed how children never bypass a puddle of water, but jump, splash, and slosh right through it?  That's because they know an important truth: Life was meant to be lived; puddles were meant to be experienced.

Find ways to be happy despite the world’s attempts to thwart you.
