Quotes on how to be happy

These quotes on how to be happy are different from the ones on other sites: They actually give you practical ways to improve your well-being.

You'll notice a pattern. Happiness is a perspective. Over and over in these little nuggets you'll hear about responding wisely to trouble. Believe it or not, you do have control over how you respond. In that sense, happiness is indeed a choice you make.

Here's another pattern. These wise folks learned happiness is contagious. When we make other people happy, it rubs off on us. Think back over your life and you'll find this to be true.

One more pattern. These quotes on how to be happy stress generosity. Whether it's in money, talent, or time, when we give of ourselves, we grow a feeling of fulfillment. See what Joyce Meyer has to say about this.

My recommendation on these quotes on how to be happy? Find one that really speaks to you, copy it down on a notecard or small piece of paper, read it over every day, and make it a theme in your life. Do that, and a year from now you will be happier!
