Be Happy Quotes
(65+ quotes)

 Use our be happy quotes to boost your happiness awareness today!  Happiness is not about money or ‘things.’ Being happy is an attitude of gratitude for blessings we already have in our life.

In truth, each of us (you, me and everyone else) must realize we are the only ones with the power to grant ourselves happiness. It’s an ‘inside’ job. As you read through the be happy quotes, pay attention to which ones speak to you. A way to stimulate happiness beyond changing our attitude is by taking personally meaningful creative actions.

How about giving away extra smiles today?  Or doing some ‘random acts of kindness.’ If you are feeling extra adventurous you could give out hugs. Extending a helping hand by volunteering is another tried and true way to amp up your own happiness.

Build your happiness by doing small things every day to spread sunshine in a sometimes cloudy world.  Just smiling (or turning your frown upside down) will help you feel happier.  The results may not be instant, but sticking with it can increase your happiness quotient up to 40%! If you are interested in research related to happiness, the following books are filled with data based on positive psychology: “The Happiness Advantage: The Seven Principles of Positive Psychology that Fuel Success and Performance at Work” by Shawn Achor, “The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin, and “The How of Happiness: A New Approach to Getting the Life You Want” by Sonja Lyubomirsky.  There is even a wonderful movie called: “Happy” – visit http://www.thehappymovie.com to see the trailer.
