Joseph Ledoux, Ph.D., a well-known researcher
and author on the physiology of emotions, expressed the scientist’s
frustrations with the "elusive concept of happiness" when he wrote:
quotes about happiness
“There
are many answers for what happiness is.
Many of them are
surprisingly unclear and ill-defined.”

"Happiness
is like a ray of sunlight which warms us and keeps us glowing."
Very nice and poetic
but it says nothing about the true
nature of
happiness.
Mark Twain
"Happiness ain't a thing in itself - it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant."
I agree if wisdom is the applied
knowledge and ability to handle our
own
energies,
and
emotions
since
happiness
is a very concrete energetic
emotional frequency level.
"Happiness
is not merely a life lived by accumulating moments of pleasure. On the contrary,
happiness is a long lasting enduring enjoyment of life, it is being in love with
living. It is your reward for achieving a good character and personal rational
values in life. Some important values are a productive career, romance,
friendship and hobbies."
Too many conditions for happiness
Dr. Kenner. Soon we'll need to go to
college to be able experience
happiness! All we
really need to understand is the
true nature of
happiness
as an emotional frequency level over
which we do have total control.

The Failure of Psychology)
Zig Ziglar
quotes about happiness
"Happiness
is not a pleasure, it is victory."
quotes about happiness
I'll agree with Mr. Ziglar by
interpreting victory as an
understanding of our
energetic
nature and our ability to control
our emotions. Accomplishing this is
truly a personal victory. (See:
What is Emotion?)
John Burroughs
"The secret of happiness is
something
to do."
Yeah, right... Since when being very
busy brings happiness?
"Happiness is not in the mere possession of
money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort."
He is actually correct because happiness
increases creativity and our
ability to survive
as well as to solve problems in
accomplishing
our life purpose.
Bertrand Russell
"The happiness that is genuinely satisfying is
accompanied by the fullest exercise of our faculties and the fullest realization
of the world in which we live."
I agree if we exercise our faculties
for handling our own
energies,
and
emotions
since
happiness
is a very concrete energetic
emotional frequency level.
Martha Washington
"The greatest part of our happiness depends on our dispositions, not our
circumstances."
quotes on happiness
Yes, in our disposition to
sustain the right emotional
frequency level within the
domain of happiness. And she is
right, we can choose our emotional
level no
matter what our life's circumstances
are. We
are not at the seeming mercy of our
emotions. (See:
What is Emotion?)
