You can't eat happiness

You can't eat happiness.

You can't buy it.


You can't wear it.

You can't drive it, or drink it, or sell it, or steal it.

You can't lock it away.


You can't negotiate for it.

You can't win it, you can't marry it, you can't inherit it, you can't cheat it.

You can't smoke it, or inject it, or rent it or borrow it.


You can't campaign for it or beg for it, or talk other people into giving you theirs.

You can live happiness.

You can create it.

You can be it.

You can give it to others.

You can enjoy it.

You can share it.

You can claim it.

You can have as much as you wish.

You can enjoy it as much as you want, at any time, under any circumstance.

You can work with it, play with it, worship, travel, eat, and sleep with it.


Happiness is yours to live and yours to give, if only you will.


It comes from the inside, and the best way to experience it is to get it flowing out.


Forget about trying and striving to get happy.

Just decide to be happy, and happiness is yours.
