The belief that happiness has to be deserved has led to centuries of pain, guilt, and deception. So firmly have we clung to this single, illusory belief that we've almost forgotten the real truth about happiness. So busy are we trying to deserve happiness that we no longer have much time for ideas such as: Happiness is natural, happiness is a birthright, happiness is free, happiness is a choice, happiness is within, and happiness is being. The moment you believe that happiness has to be deserved, you must toil forevermore.

Robert Holden

Happiness is the first principle of life. Happiness basically means well-being. It is always good and always a choice... We need to make the choice to be happy in a particular situation, just as it is, and at a given moment.

Alexandra Stoddard

When I look at what the world does and where people nowadays believe they can find happiness, I am not sure that that is true happiness. The happiness of these ordinary people seems to consist in slavishly imitating the majority, as if this were their only choice. And yet they all believe they are happy. I cannot decide whether that is happiness or not. Is there such a thing as happiness?

Zhuangzi

Happiness implied a choice, and within that choice a concerted will, a lucid desire.

Albert Camus

I do believe in choice, the freedom of choice and carving out your own happiness.

Sandra Bullock

Happiness, most often, is a choice. Make the choice to sit, breathe, and be in that moment.

Cathy Lamb

I believe happiness is a choice. Some days it is a very difficult choice.

Steve Gleason

Happiness is a choice. You can choose to be happy. There's going to be stress in life, but it's your choice whether you let it affect you or not.

Valerie Bertinelli

Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its finite resources as you process the world.

Shawn Achor

We tend to Seek Happiness when Happiness is actually a Choice

Rodney White

No one can grant you happiness. Happiness is a choice we all have the power to make.

Dean Koontz

Happiness is actually an individual choice, even in the midst of negative circumstances. It's not something our employers can give to us, though they can limit and influence that choice.

Shawn Achor

Happiness is the choice I make today. It does not rest on my circumstances, but on my frame of mind...In cultivating the habits of happiness, I attract the people and situations that match its frequency. I smile more often, give praise more often, give thanks more often, and am glad more often. For such is my choice today.

Marianne Williamson

There comes a time in the spiritual journey when you start making choices from a very different place. And if a choice lines up so that it supports truth, health, happiness, wisdom and love, it's the right choice.
