Genuine happiness comes from within, and often it comes in spontaneous feelings of joy.

I think instead [of happiness] we should be working for contentment... an inner sense of fulfillment that's relatively independent of external circumstances.

Illusory joy is often worth more than genuine sorrow.

“A genuine smile comes from deep down in your soul. It is based on the pure joy, peace and happiness you have in your heart. If lost, the smile that replaces it is but a replication and will only last so long. Find your genuine smile, use it generously, and what you will receive in return for sharing it will be amazing."

All I’m saying is that I want you to be happy. I don’t care how it happens, or what it takes to facilitate it. I don’t care if it happens with me or without me. I don’t care if you use me to get there, or if I’m entirely irrelevant to your process. None of me is attached to how your happiness happens; I care only that it does.

Fitting a walk into a busy life can be challenging, so I suggest walking rather driving to work or to run errands as often as you can - in other words, think of walking as alternative transportation.
