Quotations about happiness
"Happiness depends upon ourselves" |
The author intended for this quote to mean that we can't base our happiness off of others. In order to achieve happiness we have to look within ourselves. What we do, what we say, and how we act can and will reflect on how happy we are. We shouldn't have to go buy $10,000 worth of clothes to be happy. We should be satisfied and grateful for what we have and how blessed we are. That is what the quote means to me.

"The constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself" |
When I read this quote I thought about the movie "The Pursuit Of Happiness" starring Will Smith. In the movie Will Smith plays A character where he goes through many trials and tribulations. He is challenged with taking care of his son while trying to find a job and being homeless. He even had to slept in a train station bathroom because he had no where else to go. In the end of the movie he finally found a job that pays him a hefty amount and he is now able to provide for his son. You have the right to pursue your happiness but it won't always be easy. In the words of J.Cole "There is beauty in the struggle, and ugliness in the success." Just because you may struggle doesn't mean you can't go out and catch your happiness.
