No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho

attains out of them...the end result should only be happiness.

The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
-J. M. Barrie
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
-John Lennon
If you always want to be happy in life, toy with troubles as if it were a game. See;
whether you defeat the problems or they defeat you.

But the happiest people are the ones who understand that good things occur when one allows them to.
