115 I Choose Happiness Quotes

by

Can you choose to be happy in this moment?

Would you say you have a happy life?

After many years of coaching people to reach their happiness goals and having written hundreds of articles on how to be happy, I’ve discovered that happiness boils down to a few essentials.

First, happiness is a state of being that you can choose.

It is a choice about how you want to live your life, in spite of difficulties and pain.

Also, happiness can only be appreciated in the present moment.

You can’t sustain happiness while dwelling in the past or future.

And finally, happiness requires connection with others — sharing our happiness and doing things to make others happy.

If you type the phrase “choose happiness” into your favorite search bar, you will see millions of search results.

It has been written about by ancient philosophers and is still the topic of many current bestselling books.

Want a little happiness inspiration for yourself? Decide to choose your own happiness.
