Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Amaka Imani Nkosazana

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Cora Carmack

The best parts of life are the things we can't plan. And it's a lot harder to find happiness if you're only searching in one place. Sometimes, you just have to throw away the map. Admit that you don't know where you're going and stop pressuring yourself to figure it out. Besides ... a map is a life someone else already lived. It's more fun to make your own. — Cora Carmack

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Robert Breault

When your happiness is someone else's happiness, that is love — Lana Del Rey

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Apoorve Dubey

Happiness is a state of mind and not a state of possession. Be as you are and you will be happy, if you try to be someone else you will be miserable. — Apoorve Dubey

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Nathaniel Branden

I am responsible for my personal happiness. One of the characteristics of immaturity is the belief that it is someone else's job to make me happy - much as it was once my parents' job to keep me alive. If only someone would love me, then I would love myself. If only someone would take care of me, then I would be contented. If only someone would spare me the necessity of making decisions, then I would be carefree. If only someone would make me happy. Here's a simple but powerful stem to wake one up to reality: If I take full responsibility for my personal happiness - . Taking responsibility for my happiness is empowering. It places my life back in my own hands. Ahead of taking this responsibility, I may imagine it will be a burden. What I discover is that it sets me free. — Nathaniel Branden

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Vee Hoffman

I never thought people actually woke up the way I did that morning. I always figured it was hyperbole and massive overcompensation to say that you woke up grinning, woke up in a state of contentment and excitement for the smallest things. Even while I was in love formerly, it seemed more like a comfortable thing rather than a giddy, overwhelming happiness. Realize, then, that I had never been joined in a mutual state of infatuation with someone else. My infatuations tended to be unrequited, accompanied by a sense of muted sadness. I sat up at 7:00a.m. without even waiting for the alarm, and kept still there, smiling, looking at nothing and going over yesterday's conversations, the fevered symphony of emotion ringing forever in my ears.
I fell back and actually laughed to myself, reaching for my glasses to slide them on as I stretched out my back comfortably in a lazy, half-waking state.
You are in love. — Vee Hoffman

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Maya Angelou

When we decide to be happy we accept the responsibility to bring happiness to someone else. — Maya Angelou

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Lisa Kleypas

There's no more happiness," Leo said roughly. "There's no peace in any damn corner of my life. She took it all with her. For pity's sake, Amelia ... go meddle in someone else's affairs, and leave me the hell alone. — Lisa Kleypas

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Byron Katie

Who would you be without the thought that happiness depends on someone else? — Byron Katie

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Bill Bailey

Contentment is knowing you're right. Happiness is knowing someone else is wrong. — Bill Bailey

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Mary Balogh

Sometimes, one yearns for something.For the ultimate in happiness. I yearn for it,and don't know where to look for it any longer. And I don't know if I would recognize it if I found it. And the longer I look, the more selfish I grow.For I think only of my own happiness. i think I have lost the ability to make someone else happy. If I ever had it. And I suppose we can never be happy unless we can also give happiness. — Mary Balogh

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Debasish Mridha

Life is about creating your own world, your own joy.

Just want to be a footnote in someone else's happiness. — Fall Out Boy

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By E. M. Forster

You do care a little for me, I know ... but nothing to speak of, and you don't love me. I was yours once till death if you'd cared to keep me, but I'm someone else's now ... and he's mine in a way that shocks you, but why don't you stop being shocked, and attend to your own happiness. — E. M. Forster

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Cassandra Clare

She had never imagined she had the power to make someone else so happy. And not a magical power, either
a purely human one. — Cassandra Clare

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Robert Ringer

Everyone has an equal and absolute right to sovereignty over his own body, his own property, and his own life, and to pursue his own happiness in any way that he chooses. No one has the authority to grant rights to anyone else, because human beings already possess all natural rights at birth. These rights include both personal and economic freedoms, and the only way they can be lost is if someone takes them away by force. The only right that an individual does not naturally possess is the right to violate someone else's liberty. — Robert Ringer

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Fernando Pessoa

It's been months since I last wrote. I've lived in a state of mental slumber, leading the life of someone else. I've felt, very often, a vicarious happiness. I haven't existed. I've been someone else. I've lived without thinking. — Fernando Pessoa

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Beth Hoffman

Never tie your happiness to the tail of someone else's kite. — Beth Hoffman

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Nyrae Dawn

I learned a long time ago not to put my happiness in someone else's hands because you can never trust them not to drop it. — Nyrae Dawn

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Greg Iles

You can't build happiness on someone else's pain. — Greg Iles

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Lucas Scott

Happiness comes in many forms - in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else's dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It's okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be. — Lucas Scott

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Clarice Lispector

Putting my hand in someone else's has always been my definition of happiness. Before I fall asleep, often - in that small struggle not to lose consciousness and go into the greater world - often, before I get up the courage to go into the vastness of sleep, I pretend that someone has my hand in theirs, and then I go, go to that enormous absence of form that is sleep. And when even after that I don't have courage, I dream. — Clarice Lispector

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Sanchita Pandey

Remember that the one person who can make you joyous and happy is YOU! You do not have to put the key to your own happiness in someone else's pocket! — Sanchita Pandey

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Tyler Oakley

Binge on giving, in all senses. Binge on indulging. We're told every day from an early age that moderation is key. Count your calories, wait a while before you tell someone you love them, and remember that balance is the path to happiness. While all of those are great in theory, does a lesson taught from someone else's mistakes resonate just as deeply as the ones you learn yourself? When you binge, you find your own boundaries. — Tyler Oakley

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Harry Browne

your balance sheet is an indication of how much you have served others ~ in terms of their standards, their values, their desires. Don't ever forget that happiness is relative. Your idea of what's good for someone else may not be shared in the slightest by that someone.
Understand, too, that I am not saying you ought to be considerate of others or that it is ethical to make people happy. It is a simple fact of life that if you do not make people happy, they aren't going to do business with you ~ on any basis. — Harry Browne

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Sharon Salzberg

Sometimes people in abusive situations think they're responsible for the other person's happiness or that they're going to fix them and make them feel better. The practice of equanimity teaches that it's not all up to you to make someone else happy. — Sharon Salzberg

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Amy Bloom

I have made the best and happiest ending that I can in this world, made it out of the flax and netting and leftover trim of someone else's life, I know, but made it to keep the innocent safe and the guilty punished, and I have made it as the world should be and not as I have found it. — Amy Bloom

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By M.F. Moonzajer

Don't let your tears be seen; it may hurt someone else's happiness. — M.F. Moonzajer

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Steve Maraboli

It's simple; be YOU. If you're not being you, you're being someone else. YOU are not here to be someone else. — Steve Maraboli

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Dayanara Ryelle

Happiness is not squeezing yourself into someone else's box. — Dayanara Ryelle

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Collette Cameron

She strove for poised composure, despite feeling like a powerless pawn in a despicable game of human chess, played for the amusement of those who enjoyed tragic endings at the expense of someone else's happiness - no - their very existence. — Collette Cameron

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Sasha Gould

Happiness can be a cruel thing in the face of someone else's grief. — Sasha Gould

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Seth Godin

My problem with the search for the badge of real is that it trades your goals and your happiness for someone else's. — Seth Godin

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Jennifer O'Neill

You would not want to be responsible for someone else's happiness, so please do not hold someone else responsible for yours! — Jennifer O'Neill

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Robert Holden

One of the most important lessons to learn about relationships is that it is not another person's job to make you happy. Your happiness is not someone else's job. Until you realize this, you will always be dissatisfied with your relationships. Ultimately, your relationship with others mirrors your relationship to happiness. — Robert Holden

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Patrick McGrath

Perhaps that's the whole point about infidelity, I suggested, not that one has sex but that by doing so one puts at risk someone else's happiness? — Patrick McGrath

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Thich Nhat Hanh

THE ART OF OFFERING HAPPINESS In a friendship, we try to to offer our friend happiness. Sometimes you think that you're doing something for someone else's happiness, when actually your action is making them suffer. The willingness to make someone happy isn't enough. You have your own idea of happiness. But to make someone else happy, you have to understand that person's needs, suffering, and desires and not assume you know what will make them happy. Ask, What would make you happy? — Thich Nhat Hanh

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Elizabeth Wurtzel

But happiness is a difficult thing-it is, as Aristotle posited in The Nicomachean Ethics, an activity, is is about good social behavior, about being a solid citizen. Happiness is about community, intimacy, relationships, rootedness, closeness, family, stability, a sense of place, a feeling of love. And in this country, where people move from state to state and city to city so much, where rootlessness is almost a virtue ("anywhere I hang my hat ... is someone else's home"), where family units regularly implode and leave behind fragments of divorce, where the long loneliness of life finds its antidote not in a hardy, ancient culture (as it would in Europe), not in some blood-deep tribal rites (as it would in the few still-hale Third World nations), but in our vast repository of pop culture, of consumer goods, of cotton candy for all-in this America, happiness is hard. — Elizabeth Wurtzel

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Liza Palmer

Someone else's idea of happiness was a lot easier to attain than a happiness I could not envision and didn't think I deserved. — Liza Palmer

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Sharon Salzberg

The more we identify and acknowledge moments when we're unable to share in someone else's pleasure and ask ourselves whether another person's happiness truly jeopardizes our own, the more we pave the way for experiencing sympathetic joy — Sharon Salzberg

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Michael J. Fox

Being in control of your own destiny is a myth - and wouldn't be half as much fun anyway. Pay attention to what's happening around you. Read the book before you see the movie. Remember, though you, alone, are responsible for your own happiness, it's still okay to feel responsible for someone else's. — Michael J. Fox

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Amit Ray

Believe in yourself and be the source of joy in someone else's life. — Amit Ray

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Donna Ball

Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the right thing is ... and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong. — Donna Ball

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By D.S. Luca

Happiness is your responsibility, don't saddle someone else with it, don't postpone it until conditions suit your needs, and don't surrender it when you notice something you don't approve of. — D.S. Luca

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Will Smith

If you're not making someone else's life better, then you're wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other lives better. — Will Smith

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Steve Maraboli

I will never let someone else's opinion define my reality. — Steve Maraboli

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Matthieu Ricard

Envy and jealousy stem from the fundamental inability to rejoice at someone else's happiness or success — Matthieu Ricard

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Amy Poeppel

Happiness is not a zero-sum game. It's the only case in which the resources are limitless, and in which the rich can get richer at no expense to anyone else. That day in the park, I found it remarkably easy to own my happiness and celebrate Kate's as well.
It's a strange thing, though, how rare, maybe impossible, it is to have everyone you care about thriving at the same time. For a short spell, life seems certain and stable, until something shifts and redistributes, randomly, unpredictably, and when you look around at the new landscape, you see that it's someone else's turn now. You redirect your attention to focus on the friend in need. You hope - you know - they will do the same for you, when your turn comes. — Amy Poeppel

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Robin LaFevers

If Death could grant you a wish, you would use it for someone else? Trade your happiness for someone else's? — Robin LaFevers

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Jeanette Winterson

Pursuing happiness, and I did, and I still do, is not at all the same as being happy
which I think is fleeting, dependent on circumstances ... If the sun is shining, stand in it
yes, yes, yes. Happy times are great, but happy times pass
they have to because time passes. The pursuit of happiness is more elusive; it is life-long, and it is not goal-centered. What you are pursuing is meaning
a meaningful life. There's the hap
the fate, the draw that is yours, and it isn't fixed, but changing the course of the stream, or dealing new cards, whatever metaphor you want to use
that's going to take a lot of energy. There are times when it will go so wrong that you will barely be alive, and times when you realise that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else's terms. The pursuit isn't all or nothing
it's all AND nothing. — Jeanette Winterson

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By M. Leighton

Blaze your own trail in life. Make your own choices and make your own mistakes. It's the only way you'll find your own happiness, not someone else's. — M. Leighton

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Natalie Grant

I say all the time that if you really want to feel alive, it's not through striving for yourself. If you really want to feel alive, it's not through trying to get more things or get more success or climbing a corporate ladder or getting to the top. Because, once you get there, you realize that you don't really find happiness in that. If you want to feel alive and if you want to feel peace and happiness, give your life away. Do something that is outside of yourself for someone else. I think that's the way to truly feel alive. — Natalie Grant

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Diane Ackerman

Happiness doesn't require laughter, only well-being and a sense that the world is breaking someone else's heart, not mine. — Diane Ackerman

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Marilynne Robinson

I don't know exactly what covetous is, but in my experience it is not so much desiring someone else's virtue or happiness as rejecting it, taking offense at the beauty of it. — Marilynne Robinson

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Jodi Picoult

Love isn't what you expect it to be. You imagine being drunk on happiness, but the truth is, you worry all the time. Is she ill? Hurt? Might she meet someone else? There's a moment when you realize that you've gotten everything you wished for. And right on its heels is the understanding that this means you have so much more to lose. — Jodi Picoult

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Amanda Butterworth

We tend to think that it's up to others to respect our needs and fill them for us. But that doesn't ever work, and for the following reason:
If you have a hard time knowing what it is you really need, then how on earth can you logically expect someone else to know? — Amanda Butterworth

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Oprah Winfrey

The way to choose happiness is to follow what is right and real and the truth for you. You can never be happy living someone else's dream. Live your own. And you will for sure know the meaning of happiness. — Oprah Winfrey

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Marci Shimoff

She resolved every day to:
1. Do something for someone else.
2. Do something for myself
3. Do something I don't want to do that needs doing.
4. Do a physical exercise
5. Do a mental exercise
6. Do an original prayer that always includes counting my blessings — Marci Shimoff

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Donna Lynn Hope

Society nowadays tells people that their happiness is all that matters but happiness is never found if it costs someone else's theirs. That is not what happiness is, nor would such a person deserve it, because happiness is forged by the setting aside of self and in doing for others to make them happy first and foremost, so if you have to hurt another human being to "find your happiness," then you have no clue what the word actually means or what it's willing to do, and in being so self-centered and entitled, it's veritably tragic that the only care and concern you have is for yourself. — Donna Lynn Hope

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Adam Rockman

Never put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket." These — Adam Rockman

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Jiddu Krishnamurti

One of our difficulties is, surely, that we want to be happy through something, through a person, through a symbol, through an idea, through virtue, through action, through companionship. We think happiness, or reality, or what you like to call it, can be found through something. Therefore we feel that through action, through companionship, through certain ideas, we will find happiness. So being lonely, I want to find someone or some idea through which I can be happy. But loneliness always remains; it is ever there.
If I use you for my fulfillment for my happiness, you become very unimportant, because it is my happiness I am concerned with. So when the mind is concerned with the idea that it can have happiness through somebody, through a thing or through an idea, do I not make all these means transitory? Because my concern is then something else, to go further, to catch something beyond. — Jiddu Krishnamurti

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Zig Ziglar

Happiness is like a kiss, in order to get any good out of it, you have to give it to someone else. — Zig Ziglar

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Wally Lamb

That time we separated was my idea. I thought, well, I'm fifty years old and there might be someone else out there. People waste their happiness - that's what makes me sad. Everyone's so scared to be happy. — Wally Lamb

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Maya Angelou

Some decide that happiness and glee are the same thing, they are not. When we choose happiness we accept the responsibility to lighten the load of someone else and to be a light on the path of another who may be walking in darkness. — Maya Angelou

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Natasha Murtagh

Optimists are intrinsically happier and happiness breeds further happiness. Light a candle rather than curse the darkness and do not wait for someone else to light it; do it yourself. — Natasha Murtagh

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Suzanne Selfors

Every person has a right to be unhappy, to suffer in peace without someone else telling her that she is acting like a spoiled brat. Without a certain someone telling her constantly that her life is the stuff that everyone else dreams about. Happiness is not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. — Suzanne Selfors

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Kristen Crockett

If you stay in the company of anger, pain, or hurt, happiness will find someone else to visit. Make the choice to view all of your past relationships as a gift. Throw out what hasn't worked in the past and incorporate new concepts. Focus on being happy. — Kristen Crockett

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Debasish Mridha

I love everyone and everything. I belong to everyone and everything. I am a citizen of this world. I created my own universe. I don't want to belong to an ideology or belief system. I don't want to be imprisoned by someone else's conforming thoughts. I only accept that which is beautiful, loving, and kind. I want to belong to this universe until I am gone. We are one; we are kin. So my religion is love and kindness is my prayer. Altruism is my path. Peace is my palace where I dwell with humility and happiness. — Debasish Mridha

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Terry Rossio

Personal happiness is so important, most choose to let someone else take care of it. — Terry Rossio

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Alphonse Karr

Love is the most terrible, and also the most generous of the passions; it is the only one which includes in its dreams the happiness of someone else. — Alphonse Karr

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Andrew Holleran

Try not to be self-conscious [ ... ] or so critical. Don't mope around looking for someone else to make you happy, and remember that the vast majority of homosexuals are looking for a superman to love and find it very difficult to love anyone merely human, which we unfortunately happen to be. — Andrew Holleran

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Christopher Barzak

Don't ever put your happiness in someone else's hands. They'll drop it. They'll drop it every time. — Christopher Barzak

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Sharon Salzberg

Buddhism has a term for the happiness we feel at someone else's success or good fortune. Sympathetic joy, as it is known, invites us to celebrate for others. — Sharon Salzberg

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Seimone Augustus

I never understood the whole point of opposing or hating someone else's happiness. — Seimone Augustus

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Elizabeth Scott

This is what happiness is, past the rubbish of its overuse as a word, past the cracked gloss of the letters that mean nothing when strung together. They mean something now, and I know what it's like when you and someone else are right together. How simple is is, and how amazing. — Elizabeth Scott

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Shannon L. Alder

Getting even with the person that broke your heart will never give you peace. The only thing that will heal your wounds is believing that God loves you enough to bring someone else into your life to respect you and love you in the way you deserve! — Shannon L. Alder

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Ruth Reichl

Every restaurant is a theater, and the truly great ones allow us to indulge in the fantasy that we are rich and powerful. When restaurants hold up their end of the bargain, they give us the illusion of being surrounded by servants intent on ensuring our happiness and offering extraordinary food.
But even modest restaurants offer the opportunity to become someone else, at least for a little while. Restaurants free us from mundane reality; that is part of their charm. When you walk through the door, you are entering neutral territory where you are free to be whoever you choose for the duration of the meal. — Ruth Reichl

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Beth Hoffman

Never tie your happiness to the end of someone else's kite. — Beth Hoffman

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Sandra Bullock

I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make. We waste so much time making decisions based on someone else's idea of our happiness - what will make you a good citizen or a good wife or daughter or actress. Nobody says, 'Just be happy - go be a cobbler or go live with goats.' — Sandra Bullock

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Alexis Hall

When my own happiness was a mystery to me, what hope did I have of being instrumental in someone else's? — Alexis Hall

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Natalie Palmer

Love isn't a competition. It's not about coming in first or second or last. It's not about how much they love you back or making sure that they love you the most. When you truly love someone, you care more about their happiness than your own. If your mom finds someone else that she can love and who will love her back and make her happy, then I will be glad. Love isn't about coming in first place, Gemma. Love is about putting someone else first in front of yourself. — Natalie Palmer

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Bill Walton

Success at the highest level comes down to one question: Can you decide that your happiness can come from someone else's success? — Bill Walton

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Jewel

I'm having a bad day. I am not size six. My legs are not skinny as sticks, and dammit, someone's got to pay. I'm afraid that I can't satisfy myself and that my happiness depends on someone else. I feel weak, so you're gonna take the fall. You're so shallow. — Jewel

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Wilhelm Reich

You differ from a great man in only one respect: the great man was once a very little man, but he developed one important quality: he recognized the smallness and narrowness of his thoughts and actions. Under the pressure of some task that meant a great deal to him, he learned to see how his smallness, his pettiness endangered his happiness. In other words, a great man knows when and in what way he is a little man. A little man does not know he is little and is afraid to know. He hides his pettiness and narrowness behind illusions of strength and greatness, someone else's strength and greatness. He's proud of his great generals but not of himself. He admires an idea he has not had, not one he has had. The less he understands something, the more firmly he believes in it. And the better he understands an idea, the less he believes in it. — Wilhelm Reich

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Paulo Coelho

Allowing someone else to make us happy will make them happy too. — Paulo Coelho

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Amir Levine

our culture encourages you [with an anxious attachment style] to believe that many of your needs are illegitimate. But whether they are legitimate or not for someone else is beside the point. They are essential for your happiness, and that is what's important. — Amir Levine

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Miguel Ruiz

If you take your happiness and put it in someone's hands, sooner or later, she is going to break it. If you give your happiness to someone else, she can always take it away. Then if happiness can only come from inside of you and is the result of your love, you are responsible for your happiness. — Miguel Ruiz

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Bette Lee Crosby

Do you think there's ever any joy for people who carve their happiness out of someone else's hurt? — Bette Lee Crosby

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Bjorn Afzelius

But who have the ability to know what will fit into a new individual? And who can say to someone else what happiness looks like, who can say what someone else wants to be? — Bjorn Afzelius

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Cora Carmack

The best parts of our life are the things we can't plan. And it's a lot harder to find happiness if you're only searching in one place. Sometimes, you just have to throw away a map. Admit that you don't know where you're going and stop pressuring yourself to figure it out. Besides ... a map is a life someone else already lived. It's more fun to make your own map. — Cora Carmack

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Dietrich Von Hildebrand

Happiness is love's outcome, never its motive. Where someone is loved he is an end in himself and certainly not a means toward something else. It is therefore of love's essence, wherever it is found, that the loved one seem precious, beautiful, and worthy of love. — Dietrich Von Hildebrand

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Cecilia London

Your heart belongs to someone else and it always will. I knew it the instant we got here. Do whatever you have to do to make peace with everything that has happened, but don't sacrifice your happiness for it. You deserve to be happy, whether you believe it or not. Let go of your anger. It doesn't define who you are and it shouldn't dictate your life. Forgive him. Gabe — Cecilia London

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Dan Ariely

The good news is that we can sometimes control the "circles" around us, moving toward smaller circles that boost our relative happiness. If we are at our class reunion, and there's a "big circle" in the middle of the room with a drink in his hand, boasting of his big salary, we can consciously take several steps away and talk with someone else. If we are thinking of buying a new house, we can be selective about the open houses we go to, skipping the houses that are above our means. If we are thinking about buying a new car, we can focus on the models that we can afford, and so on. We — Dan Ariely

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Zurmang Gharwang Rinpoche

You cannot simply take a mala from someone else and start using it. When you buy a mala you have to make sure that it accords with the advice we have just discussed, and then before you use a mala - whether it is old or new - you should bless it. How do we bless the mala? There are different methods for blessing a mala, and some are more elaborate than others. In Buddhism there are two types of conduct: elaborate and simple. Elaborate conduct, for example, involves having many thangkas, statues, and lots of offerings, such as flowers and so forth. However, Buddhism is also very practical, and so there are more simple forms of practice where you utilize visualization. However, you should not use unelaborated versions of practice simply out of laziness. Making offerings are an important part of practice since these actions accumulate merit, and it is merit that brings about our happiness. People often refer to luck and fortune, but really — Zurmang Gharwang Rinpoche

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Jean Oram

You can't raise happy kids in a happy family if you aren't happy and don't know who you are. You can't pin your life on someone else's happiness. — Jean Oram

Someone Else's Happiness Quotes By Michael J. Fox

Pay attention to what's happening around you. Read the book before you see the movie. Remember, though you, alone, are responsible for your own happiness, its still okay to feel responsible for someone else's. Live and to learn. — Michael J. Fox
