The Art of Being Happy

How do you truly become happy? What is the secret to happiness? The Art of Being Happy - Truly Happy.

Happiness is the destiny of the human being. But remember—“It is not happiness in living, but in knowing how to live.” 

The human being has the inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness. With everything, accept your limits, because happiness is in limitation.

“Every human being searches for happiness and this is without exception.” Because of this, keep in mind—“happiness consists principally in loving what is.”

Happiness comes from within, it is up to us. There’s no one that could not cultivate a disposition to being happy if he or she wishes to do so.

To find it, look well. And look within. Because the problem is that, “frequently some of us look for happiness like when we’re looking for the eyeglasses when we have them right above our noses.”

I’ve noticed that each person is as happy as he or she wishes to be. In conclusion and deep down, happiness is nothing more than the continuous efforts to create happiness.

If you are not well, look for someone worse off than you and help him or her. You will both get better.

It is true—“We only make our happiness in being concerned with others happiness.”

Even to make our way towards happiness, always take the longest route.

It is insisted—“there’s no comparable satisfaction to that of making others happy.” Life is like a dice game. If they don’t fall the way we wanted, we must have the art to take the best advantage of how they fell.

And more so, happiness and misfortune ordinarily turn those beings who are already so.

To see without envy the fortune of others and with satisfaction common happiness, is to enjoy being blessed.

That is why, be good—“kindness towards everyone excusing their faults,” is the philosophical rock of happiness.

It’s a shame that we have created men that act like machines and machines that act like men.

Remember—“Pleasure is a mental state—happiness is a prolonged, cheerful state of mind, and more so—We are happy in the exact measure in which we know how to forget.”

Ernesto Cole

Formula To Happiness

Love until your heart smiles and until they say you're crazy - love truly and completely until you can't anymore.

Love, being happy is reduced to this.

Love without being afraid of exceeding yourself.

Love until your feet hurt.

Love even though everything else invites you not to.

Love everyday as if you are never to love again.

Love and be so happy that without showing it, it shows.

Love even if you’re not loved.

Love whom no one loves and everyone hates.

Love in any language, every being.

Love more those who love least.

Love until your heart smiles.

Love even though you think you’re getting nowhere. God is able to make something out of nothing.

Love until they say you’re crazy.

Love black Monday, Tuesday the 13th, Ash Wednesday, any Thursday, sour Friday, wonderful Saturday because only so will you also love Sunday of Resurrection.

Love because you may lose it all, but no one will ever be able to stop you from loving.

Love, and when you can no more, even when your heart is bleeding for your bother or sister, do not doubt it—continue to love!

Love who has nothing and no one will give him or her anything.

Love in the certainty that someone already loves you and will love you like you will never understand—until infinity!

Thoughts on Wisdom

Thoughts on wisdom, common sense, and being clever - how do you reach your goals? What kind of attitude do you need to have? Wisdom from Within - Ernesto Cole

Cleverness is not wisdom.

Every man is a damn fool, 4 of at least 5 minutes every day—wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.

Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.

When written in Chinese, the word “crisis” is composed of two characters—one represents danger and the other represents opportunity.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

A prudent question is half of wisdom.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply for unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.

Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you’d have preferred to talk.

It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.

Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own.

If you believe the doctors, nothing is wholesome—if you believe the theologians, nothing is innocent—if you believe the military, nothing is safe.


Life is traveling to the edge of knowledge, then taking a leap.

The wisdom of the wise is an uncommon degree of common sense.

Virtues are acquired through endeavor, which rests wholly upon yourself.

Wisdom outweighs any wealth.

Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom.

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.

From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own.

It is the neglect of timely repair that makes rebuilding necessary.

The future has arrived, it’s just not evenly distributed yet.

The truest wisdom is a resolute determination.

Wisdom is knowing what to do next—virtue is doing it.

Ernesto Cole

Head Keeper-Uppers

How do you react? Your character is determined by what you do when you face problems.

Don’t let life discourage you. Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

When you stop striving to get better, you get worse.

You only fail when you never try.

Whatever your lot in life, build something on it.

The only limitations we have are those we acknowledge. Life is a feast, don’t starve yourself.

Don’t plan to fail by failing to plan.

Measure twice, cut once.

Focus on making things better, not bigger.

Live your life in exclamation, not an explanation.

Don’t be something—be someone.

As you go through life, never try to prove yourself—improve yourself.

By the work, one knows the workman.

When the chips are down, yell, “Bingo!”

When life hands you lemons—make lemonade.

Make a home in your heart for the truth and the truth will bring you home.

None are so empty as those that are full of themselves.

Ernesto Cole

Attitude

What kind of attitude do you have? Do you complain? Are you a complainer - a gossip? What should you do? Read more from Ernesto Cole.

1. It is the attitude at the beginning of a task which more than anything else will affect its successful outcome or failure.


2. It is our attitude towards life which will determine life’s attitude towards us.


3. We are interdependent and will not succeed without others. Therefore our attitude toward them will determine their attitude toward us.


4. Before a person can achieve the type of life he wants he must first become that type of individual. He must think, act, walk, talk, and conduct himself in all his affairs just as the person he wishes to become.


5. The higher you go in any organization the better the attitudes you will find.


6. Your mind can only hold one thought at a time and since you cannot gain anything from negative thoughts—hold only successful positive thoughts and discard the rest.

7. The deepest craving of any human being is to feel important and appreciated. Give this to them and they will return it to you.


8. Part of a good attitude is to look for the best in new ideas an to look for the good ideas everywhere.


9. Don’t waste your time broadcasting personal problems—negative thoughts can’t help you and they won’t help others.


10. Don’t talk about your health unless it’s good—or if you’re talking to your doctor!


11. Radiate the attitude of well-being and confidence, like one who knows where he is going—and good things will happen to you straight away.


12. For the next 30 days treat everybody you come into contact with as the most important person in the world.

 


“It’s not what happens to me in life, it’s how I react to it.”

Ernesto Cole

Get Involved Anyway

What do you do when people treat you bad? How should you be towards people? Ernesto Cole

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered—love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives—do good anyway.

If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies—succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow—do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable—be honest and frank anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs—fight for the underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight—build anyway.

People really need help, but then may attack you if you help them—help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you could get kicked in the teeth—give the world the best you have anyway.

And then remember, someday every loose end will be tied up, every good will be noted, every book will be balanced—you will get what you have given, even more.

Maxims To Live By

Wisdom from Within - by Ernesto Cole - Words and thoughts to live by with motivation and inspirtation for success and making the most of life.

1 You will always tend to see whatever it is you’re looking for. Your thoughts create your reality.

 

2. Deep inside we all want to love and be loved, to care and be cared for, and live happy… That is our essence.

 

3. Many of us spend so long pretending to be whatever it is that we’re pretending to be, that we lose focus of our true selves… The more energy we put into developing that mask, the more convinced we become of it.

4. Well-being is not is not the fruit of something you do, it is the essence of who you are. There’s nothing you need to change, do, be, or have in order to be happy.

5. My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the grounds upon which I stand.


6. Financial security doesn’t come from the amount of money you currently have; It comes from your ability to get more of it whenever you want.


7. Master the art of serving other and you will service your financial future. In this sense, money is just a measure of the difference you’re making in the world.


8. The problem cannot be solved with the same level of thinking that created it.


9. Your thoughts have no power, it is only when you invest your energy and consciousness into them that they begin to become real.


10. Life begets life, energy begets energy, it is by spending oneself that one becomes rich.


11. You don’t get what you deserve in life, you get what you negotiate.


12. Anywhere there’s a positive difference to be made, there’s money to be made. If you can’t (or won’t) make a difference, you’re unlikely to make very much money.


13. There are three essential motivations for anything and everything we do: Desperation (I have to), rationalization (I should), and inspiration (I want to).


14. I have my own version of an optimist: If I can’t make it through one door, I’ll make through another door or I’ll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.


15. The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.


16. Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing, that we see too late the one that is open.


17. Whatever has or hasn’t happened to you is in the past. The past does not equal the future. What matters most right now is your present-moment energy. You can direct your focus and language to create an amazing life.


18. Courage isn’t the absence of fear, but the willingness to proceed in the face of it.


19. There is no disguise which can hide love for where it exists, or simulate where it does not.


20. Coward, one who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs.


21. Fools are without numbers.

22. To profit from good advice requires as much wisdom as to give it.


23. Measure not men by Sundays, without regarding what they did all week before.


24. When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice.


25. A good word is an easy obligation. but not to speak ill, requires silence, which costs us nothing.


26. Try to leave the earth a better place than when you arrived.


27. Question: Do you know what the death rate around here is? Answer: One per person.


28. There is never enough “I love you”


29. ’Tis better than a man’s words, that another man’s words should praise him.


30. A warning given by an experienced person to someone willing to listen is more valuable that jewelry made of the finest gold.


31. While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.


32. There’s not enough time in this life to learn by trial and error. Therefore, we must learn from the life lessons and experiences of one another.


33. If you have a bowl of murky water and want to make it clear, what would you do?
