Happiness is a State of Mind

By
Education & Training with Ludwig & Associates

Motivational Power Quote

 

Happiness is a State of Mind

“If Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on

the way we see them.”

Count Leo Tolstoy 1828 – 1910, Russian Writer

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Happiness is a state of mind

 

You are about as happy or unhappy as you decide to be . . . .

 

The person that decides that they will be happy when they get a new car . . . . will find that the happiness fades quickly.  When the same person created a goal and a time line to buy a specific new car . . . . they will celebrate achieving the goals to buy the new car.

 

So the true happiness is not the new car . . . . it’s in the state of mind in the achievement of the goal and in reach a stepping stone on your success journey.

 

Happiness is living with yourself and enjoying your company and your success journey. Material things can become mile markers on your success journey.

 

Happiness is a state of mind . . . .  and enjoying who you are.

Lou, here I am for my daily dose of wisdom.  You are the only one that can decide to be happy.  It is a decision and we can be happy even in the stressful times.

Lou, love your motivational posts, and we usually have control over our happiness, and rarely has anything to do with material things.

It is too bad that mind thinks and therefore is influenced by the things going on around it. No matter how happy you may be it is impossible 24 /7. pooey

Good morning Lou, so true it is all about how we see things half full or half empty. How we look at things do matter.

The timeless wisdom of Lou - Happiness erupts from within and usually comes from a place of feeling content with what is.
