If you do not want to be unhappy, no one else can make you unhappy.
When you see your happiness in the happiness of others, that’s when you will be truly happy.
Nothing stays forever. Good as well as bad times go away. Be happy.
Regardless of the events or circumstances that are happening, remain steady and established in the Self. Then you can be truly happy and blissful.
Don’t look for happiness in that which is temporary, that which is fleeting and changing. Joy and happiness are only in that which does not change.
If you follow fun, misery follows you. If you follow knowledge, happiness will follow you.

You should be ready for any challenge. This readiness will make you happy.
Be happy. This is a blessing and an order!
Any fool can be unhappy when things are not okay. But it takes courage to be happy even when things are falling apart.
