Quotes about Happy by Swami Kriyananda

  • Feel that you are happy without any cause for happiness.

  • Happiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances.

  • It's not insincere to say you're happy if you're determined to make it true and live in that consciousness.
