True success, true happiness lies in freedom and fulfillment.
The mantra that you're given in Transcendental Meditation you keep to yourself. The reason being, true happiness is not out there, true happiness lies within.
Happiness lies so far from man, but he must begin by daring to will it.
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
Happiness lies first of all in health.
Good and productive labor is valuable, and it doesn't mean you have to have a fancy job description. You don't have to become rich. You can be ordinary. Happiness lies there. Do good work, create good work for others.
Happiness lies in moments, and while you have it, you're not even aware; only afterwards do you know you were happy.
I honestly believe true happiness lies in lowered expectations. In opening the door to let the air in.
It's up to you to be responsible for how you feel if you're not happy. Your happiness lies in your hands. You can't rely on a man to make you happy or complete you. That starts with you.
If my son came to me years from now and told me, 'I'm gay,' I'd say, 'That's wonderful. I'm so glad you know who you are.' But if he said, 'I want to be a woman,' I would say, 'Ahhh. This is gonna be hard. Let's get started.' Because it doesn't matter that that's where happiness lies - it's on the other side of a lot of struggle.
