In general, it is not what you have or where you are from that makes you happy, it is the way you interpret the events that are happening to you. It is a matter of attitude and of changing your thoughts. The only person who can harm your happiness is you.
Before you see these 50 quotes about happiness Let me put you this video that brings us this surprising conclusion: It will only take you 10 minutes a day to be happy for the rest.
The protagonist of this short talk that was given at TED is called Andi Puddicombe and he invites us to dedicate 10 minutes to be aware of the present:
Here there is 50 reflections or quotes about happiness that I have compiled and that I hope will touch something inside you that makes you see life in a different way:
1) Set a good example. Treat everyone with kindness and respect, even those who are rude to you.
2) It only takes one person to be happy and change your life: you.
3) Your life will improve only when you firmly decide to do everything you can to be happy. This journey begins with being honest with yourself.
4) Stop focusing on how stressed you are and remember that you are lucky. It could be a lot worse.
5) Focus on what you have and do not look at your shortcomings.
6) Look for something positive right now. Even if you have to think a little more than usual, you will find something positive.
7) When you smile about the life you are experiencing, you will end up living a life worthy of a big smile.
8) Remember, social comparison is the thief of happiness. You could spend a lifetime worrying about what others have, but you would get nothing.
9) Happiness comes more easily when you feel good about yourself without feeling the need for approval from others.
10) Be nice to people you come across.
11) Kindness should not be confused with weakness, nor forgiveness with acceptance. It is about assimilating that resentment is not the way to happiness.
12) Give all you can, but don't let them use you. Listen to others, but don't lose your own voice.
13) Say what you need to say. Speak your truth. There is no greater sadness than to keep quiet because you did not have the courage to express your opinion.
14) You cannot change how people treat you or what they say about you. The only thing you can do is change the way you react to their criticism and move away from them if necessary.
15) Bad company will never give you a positive life.
16) It is always better to spend more time alone than to be with negative people. Their opinions can undermine your self-esteem.
17) When other people treat you badly, raise your head, smile and remain yourself. Never let someone else's bitterness change who you are.
18) Your self-esteem does not depend on the inability of other people to value you as you deserve.
19) One of the most liberating things we learn in life is that we don't have to like everyone and we don't have to like everyone.
20) When someone says "You have changed," it does not mean that you have done something wrong. Sometimes it just means that you stopped being the way he or she wanted.
21) Never be ashamed of what you feel. You have the right to feel any emotion.
22) You cannot base your idea of success and happiness on the opinions and expectations of others.
23) The unhappy people in this world are the people who care about what other people think.
24) Don't take too much into account when someone tells you that you are doing it wrong.
25) It is always better to try to do something than to do nothing.
26) Strive to live the life you want regardless of it being frowned upon by others.
27) No amount of money will make you happy if you don't feel good about yourself.
28) On many occasions, happiness is outside your comfort zone. Many of the successful people first ventured into unfamiliar terrain with the insecurities that this implies.
29) You can't always wait for the perfect moment. Sometimes you have to dare even if the conditions are not the best.
30) The most reliable way to predict the future is to work in the present. Flee from inactivity and laziness.
31) Going against the current (being the discordant voice of sheep) can be very interesting.
32) Almost anything is possible if you have enough time and are passionate about what you do.
33) Big challenges make life interesting; Overcoming them makes life meaningful.
34) Turn your mistakes into a source of motivation.
35) Do not lose hope. What is to come is much better than the past. Good things often happen when they least expect it.
36) Go step by step, do not want to cover more than you can. You will be surprised what you can do with every little grain of sand if you are constant.
37) There is nothing more beautiful and powerful than a smile, and more if said smile has arisen from pain.
38) Any fool can be happy when times are good. It takes a strong soul to create smiles in situations that make us cry.
39) Don't be in a hurry. Take the time you need to complete your tasks. Hurry is bad counselor. At this point I invite you to watch this video: Working under pressure is bad for creativity
40) As we get older and wiser, we realize what we need and what we have to leave behind. Sometimes walking away is a step forward.
41) At the end of the day, you can focus on the negative aspects that have happened to you or those things that you have done well. It's up to you.
42) One of the most rewarding moments in life is when you learn that you have to relax before those problems that it is not in your hands to solve.
43) Whatever you do, don't get stuck on the one thing that ruins your day. Learn to turn the page. Life is too short to waste time on negative events.
44) One of the characteristics that is repeated over and over again among happy people is that they help others. Solidarity implies happiness.
45) Patience may be bitter, but its seed will bear sweet fruit.
46) Live simply. Love generously. Be sincere. Breath deeply. Give the best of you.
47) Do not insist too much on creating a perfect life because you will forget to live.
48) The trick is to enjoy life right now. Do not wait more.
49) Pay attention to the little things. They are the great forgotten.
50) Take long walks. Enjoy great conversations. Pay attention to the moment.

Helping without receiving anything in return is the most rewarding thing in life. That fills your soul with happiness and pride. A small act of solidarity, I could form an infinite chain of it.
The 50 sentences are impressive but the 33 and 34 were particularly important to me. Many times we feel empty and it is by looking for a challenge that we fill it. As human beings we make countless mistakes and the lack of motivation immobilizes us. We have plenty of mistakes and we lack motivations. Using the first in generators of the second is an important resource to set ourselves those challenges that make our lives more fulfilling. Thanks for these phrases.
14) You can't change how people treat you or what they say about you. The only thing you can do is change the way you react to their criticism and move away from them if necessary.
It is true, no matter how much you try to change what they say about you, they will always keep talking, there is that to ignore them and live life without paying attention to what they say
if one does bad and if it does not do worse ...
all the phrases are great. but the 18 I identify with her.
