A Quote by Eckhart Tolle
Only if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness

When the storms of life strike, it's what happens in you that will determine what happens to you.
The whole movement of happiness, unhappiness, happiness, unhappiness, could be called unhappiness. You're suffering because your state of mind is in flux, moving back and forth. The ego's happiness is really a form of suffering, because it cannot live without unhappiness.
We see quite clearly that what happens to the nonhuman, happens to the human. What happens to the outer world, happens to the inner world.
The ego's form of happiness can't exist without unhappiness. The ego will be happy when something good happens but unhappy when it ends.
It is not what happens that determines the major part of your future. What happens, happens to us all. It is what you do about what happens that counts.
Happiness isn't something that happens to you. It is what you yourself do and determine upon.
Sorrow happens, hardship happens, the hell with it, who never knew the price of happiness, will not be happy.
What is happiness and unhappiness? It depends so little on the circumstances; it depends really only on what happens inside a person. I am grateful for every day and that makes me happy.
Meditation doesn't lead you to silence; meditation only creates the situation in which the silence happens. And this should be the criterion - that whenever silence happens laughter will come into your life. A vital celebration will happen all around. You will not become sad, you will not become depressed, you will not escape from the world. You will be here in this world, but taking the whole thing as a game, enjoying the whole thing as a beautiful game, a big drama, no longer serious about it. Seriousness is a disease.
Joy is distinctly a Christian word and a Christian thing. It is the reverse of happiness. Happiness is the result of what happens of an agreeable sort. Joy has its springs deep down inside. And that spring never runs dry, no matter what happens. Only Jesus gives that joy.
If you understand the great plan of happiness and follow it, what goes on in the world will not determine your happiness.
What Happens
What happens when your soul
Begins to awaken
Your eyes
And your heart
And the cells of your body
To the great Journey of Love?
First there is wonderful laughter
And probably precious tears
And a hundred sweet promises
And those heroic vows
No one can ever keep.
But still God is delighted and amused
You once tried to be a saint.
What happens when your soul
Begins to awake in this world
To our deep need to love
And serve the Friend?
O the Beloved
Will send you
One of His wonderful, wild companions -
Like Hafiz.
What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but your character will last forever.
This fork in the road happens over a hundred times a day, and it's the choices that you make that will determine the shape of your life.
Happiness does not depend on what happens outside of you, but what happens inside of you.
Happiness has nothing to do with what you have or don't have. Happiness is related to what you are. However many things you may collect, perhaps they may increase your worries, your troubles, but happiness will not increase because of them. Certainly unhappiness will increase with them, but they have no relation to an increase in your happiness.
