Happiness: The Power of the Ordinary

Post author By Steve McCurry
Post date September 1, 2020
23 Comments on Happiness: The Power of the Ordinary

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit, and a violin;
what else does a man need to be happy?
– Albert Einstein

A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to having it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one’s neighbors. Such is my idea of happiness.
– Leo Tolstoy

It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving,
but like morning light it scattered the night and
made the day worth living.
– F. Scott Fitzgerald

Happiness is not something ready-made.
It comes from your own actions
– Dalai Lama

Happiness is a warm puppy.
– Charles Schultz

The art of creating intimacy cannot be bought by anything but time, interest and engagement in the people around you.
The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well
– Meik Wiking

True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done,
the zest of creating things new.
– Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Life is not a problem to be solved. Just remember to have something that keeps you busy doing what you love while being surrounded by the people who love you.
Ikigai: The Japanese secret to a long and happy life,
Hector Garcia Puigcerver

Geometry of Joy

Joy can be real only if people look upon their life as a service, and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness.
– Leo Tolstoy

And Joy is Everywhere;
It is in the Earth’s green covering of grass;
In the blue serenity of the Sky;
In the reckless exuberance of Spring;
In the severe abstinence of gray Winter;
In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame;
In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright;
In Living;
In the exercise of all our powers;
In the acquisition of Knowledge;
in fighting evils…
Joy is there Everywhere.
– Rabindranath Tagore, 1861-1941

A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning,
as if supported by the rays of the sun,
a bird settled on the fire escape,
joy in the task of coffee,
joy accompanied me as I walked.
– Anais Nin

There is no greater joy nor greater reward than to make a fundamental difference in someone’s life.
– Sr. Mary Rose McGeady

Shared joy is a double joy
-Swedish Proverb

To get the full value of a joy you must have
somebody to divide it with.
– Mark Twain

Find ecstasy in life;
the mere sense of living is joy enough.
– Emily Dickinson

Joy is not in things;
it is in us.
– Richard Wagner

Joy is the serenity of heaven.
– John Donne

We cannot cure the world of sorrows,
but we can choose to live in joy.
– Joseph Campbell

My mind to me a kingdom is,
such present joys therein I find,
That it excels all other bliss
– Sir Edward Dyer
1543 – 1607

When you do things from your soul,
you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
– Rumi, 1207-1273

In time of care and sorrow, keep a
fountain of joy alive in you.
– Dietrich Bonhoffer
