For the American Piraha Indians, for example, all these quotes are nothing more than talk about nothing. For this small tribe, which lives in four villages in the area of the Maisi River, a tributary of the Amazon, happiness is a natural thing. They are almost like Buddhists - they live here and now. The past and future have no meaning for them. The Piraha call themselves “correct people”, and everyone else for them is “brains on one side”. They are considered the most carefree people on Earth.
But we are not Piraha. That’s why we tend to try to understand and explain the state of happiness. Even with the help of quotes and aphorisms from other people. Here, by the way, is another selection of sayings about happiness.

7Quotes and Aphorisms 05.04.2018
Dear readers, agree, we all want to be happy - this is perhaps the main human desire. But can someone give precise definition happiness? After all, we are all different, and everyone has their own happiness.
For some, happiness is when a deepest desire comes true. Some people don’t see themselves happy without a family. For others, happiness is impossible without successful career, and someone is happy because they are in love. Moreover, at different periods of life, happiness for the same person may lie in different things, sometimes even completely opposite. And all this is reflected in aphorisms about happiness.
Remember the quote about the happiness of the heroine of the film “We'll Live Until Monday”? “It’s impossible to explain happiness... It’s like pinning a sunbeam to paper...” But we’ll still try.
It seems to me that the concept of happiness is best revealed not in the dry definitions of explanatory dictionaries, but in quotes and aphorisms about happiness.

About women's happiness
What is women's happiness? Children? Favorite person? Career? Is it even possible to describe it in one word? You can't do it alone. But several are possible. These are the kind of quotes about women's happiness - short but succinct.

Everything she says, everything she wanted to say, but didn’t say, everything she could have said, but didn’t want to...
There are no instructions for women's happiness, and if there were, then each woman would have her own. And what makes one person happy may not be part of another at all. There are also ingredients that are the basis of all compositions, but they have been found a long time ago. These are the answers that lie on the surface, and your task is to recognize the deep desires. It is so important for her that you understand, that you hear between the words, read between the lines about what it is... HER happiness.

I will always be languishing in the future and will never be able to live in the present moment...
Thich Nhat Hanh
There are moments in which a person does not think about anything, does not reflect, does not evaluate, but there are not many of them. We call these moments happy. This is the moment when you completely remain where your body is, stay here. This is a feeling of happiness, a state of love, peace. We are always looking forward to something: weekends, vacations, vacations. We dream about this day after day, overwhelmed with books and work, making plans and thinking about what we could do if now. And we want this. Unfortunately, this is another “if only” that you definitely need to get rid of in your life. When the long-awaited days of freedom come, desires and plans to do something disappear, and if there is strength to do something, it is certainly not to the same extent and not with such zeal as we imagined it when we were busy. When there is a lot of something, we stop noticing and appreciating it. And over time it’s better not to joke. Friendship with him already costs us dearly. You need to try to allocate more time for your desires, appreciate it, use it wisely. Find your favorite activities and places, create your own days and evenings, and more good things will happen...
The mind came up with the idea of dividing life into past, present and future, but this division is completely artificial. The past and future are thought forms, an illusion, a mental abstraction. You can remember the past only in this Moment. The event that you remember happened at this Moment, and you also remember it at this Moment. The future, when it comes, comes in this Moment. So the only thing that is real, the only thing that is always there, is the present Moment.
Eckhart Tolle "What Silence Says"
Now - good time to forgive...
Now is a good time to love yourself...
Now is a good time to allow yourself to live easier...
Life is here and now, not tomorrow and then.
What you did a minute ago or yesterday
or within the last six months,
or the last sixteen years,
or the last fifty years -
does not mean anything.
What really matters is
what are you doing right now.
There is something great in every minute. For example, happiness...
Live in the present day, every day, as if it might end at sunset.
Many people wait all week for Friday, the whole month of the holiday, the whole year of summer, and all their lives for happiness. But you need to rejoice in every day and enjoy every moment.
IN EVERY MOMENT
I find heaven in every place, I see good in every situation, love in every person.
In fact, all you need to do is fully accept this moment. Then you are at peace with the here and now and at peace with yourself. Eckhart Tolle
The past is gone, the future has not yet arrived. Only this moment remains - pure, saturated with energy. Live it!
Life always happens now.
Remind yourself often that the purpose of life is not to accomplish everything you set out to do, but to enjoy every step you take. life path, is to fill life with love. Richard Carlson
Sometimes currently impossible to accept, unpleasant or terrible. It is what it is. Observe how the mind creates labels and how they are distributed, how continuous dwelling in judgment creates pain and makes you unhappy. By tracking the mechanisms of the mind, you move away from the stereotype of resistance and, thereby, allow the present moment to be. This state gives you the opportunity to feel the taste of inner freedom from external circumstances, the taste of a state of true inner peace. Then just watch what happens, and if necessary or possible, act.Accept first, act later. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you chose it. Always work with him, not against him. Make him your friend and ally, not your enemy. It will magically transform your entire life.
Eckhart Tolle
- What we are going to do?
- Enjoy the moment.
This moment is what is most important.
A moment is only a moment - a person seems so unimportant about the moment that he misses it, but only in this is his whole life, only in the moment of the present can he make the effort that takes the kingdom of God both inside and outside of us. Lev Tolstoy

When your attention is brought to the present moment, that is readiness. It is as if you are emerging from a dream - a dream consisting of thoughts, from the past and the future. So clear, so simple. There is absolutely no room for creating problems. Only the present moment - as such. Eckhart Tolle
Just stop, stop looking. Everything you have been looking for is in front of you, you just have to reach out and take what was meant for you from birth. Just stop looking and enjoy what you have. Wherever you are, whatever you do, whoever you are with, just listen, observe, look closely, learn. Just live.Live as if you had just been born and saw everything that surrounds you!The happiness of life lies in the present moment, in the ability to live now and feel, hear, see, breathe every moment... Every moment - Live.
If you want to live a happy life, love everyday little things.
The glow of clouds, the rustle of leaves, the chirping of a flock of sparrows, the faces of passers-by - find pleasure in all these everyday little things.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke
The world will present itself to you exactly as you imagine it to yourself.
You constantly adjust your life to own ideas about her.
What you believe strongly enough is what you will see in your life. And in no case is it the other way around. In essence, the daily hell in which you live is nothing more than the result of your stubborn belief that here and now is not heaven at all.
Chuck Hillig
You sit and sit for yourself; you go - and go yourself.
The main thing is not to fuss in vain.
You are the garden of Joy, you don't need anyone to be happy. You dwell in the Garden of Joy, but remembering the old things, you become sad. This Joy, this Moment will destroy both the mind and suffering, since this Moment is precisely Happiness. So don't go back to past moments that bring suffering. Papaji
The greatest miracle is to simply be!
I'm interested in delight. I am interested in absolute merging with the cosmos at the everyday level. If I kiss, then I am not there at that moment. If I sing a song, I am not there at that moment. This is what interests me. I look where there are least distractions. Where there are the fewest bunnies around. I don't want to waste my energy. If we again take the analogy with a kiss, there are people who kiss and think - I still need to call this today, do this, this and this. But it's not interesting. If I'm doing something, I want to be all there. I have come to the point of view that I want undiluted happiness.
Boris Grebenshchikov
To learn to live now, you need to let go of everything that happened yesterday.
The present moment is the field on which the game of life takes place. And it cannot happen anywhere else. The secret of the ability to live, the secret of success and happiness can be expressed in three words: Unity with Life. Unity with life is unity with what is Now. Once you realize this, you will understand that it is not you who live your life, but life that lives you. Life is a dancer and you are the dance. Eckhart Tolle
The best way to take care of the future is
Eternity pulsates in every breath...
He who understands life is in no hurry. Stop...
Feel the taste of every moment!
THERE IS NO PAST
The universe is being recreated moment by moment. Therefore, in reality there is no past, there is only a memory of the past. Blink your eye and the world you see did not exist when you closed it. Therefore, the only possible state of mind is surprise. The only possible state of the heart is delight. The skies you see now are ones you have never seen before. Now is the perfect moment. Be happy with it.
Terry Pratchett "Time Thief"
LIVE IN THE HARMLESS PRESENT
When you stop delving into what has already happened...
And worry about what hasn't happened yet...
Then you will be able to feel the Joy of Life.
Stay in the present. You can't change anything in the past, and the future will never come to you exactly as you imagined or expected to see it. Dan Millman.
The great science of living happily is to live in the present.
Don't be afraid of what will happen tomorrow. Love yours today, love it with any, unwanted, bad. And then it will respond to you with love, just as someone whom no one wants to see or accept anymore responds with love, and suddenly there is someone who accepts him totally.
You are too preoccupied with what was and what will be... The sages say: the past is forgotten, the future is closed, the present is given. That's why they call him real.
Don't let the clock and calendar obscure the fact that every second of life is a miracle and a mystery.
Forget the past, it brings sorrows, do not think about the future, it brings worries, live in the present, because this is the only way to be happy.
Do not anger the cruel firmament with prayer,
Don't call your disappeared friends back.
Forget yesterday, don’t think about tomorrow:
Today you live - live today.
Omar Khayyam
People would suffer much less if they did not so diligently develop the power of imagination, if they did not endlessly remember past troubles, but lived in the harmless present.
Only by stopping to grieve about the past and worry about the future can I enjoy what is happening now.
Yesterday is already history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
And today is a gift, accept it.
This is how the Little Engine from Romashkovo reasoned: stop, look around, listen, otherwise you may be late for life...
As I breathe in, I calm my body and mind.
As I exhale, I smile.
Being in the present moment, I know that this moment is amazing!
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today's is a gift!
One day, from the window of his house, from where he could see the market square, Rabbi Nachman noticed one of his students. He was in a hurry to get somewhere.
Did you have time to look at the sky this morning? - Rabbi Nachman asked him.
No, rabbi, I didn't have time.
Believe me, in fifty years everything you see here will disappear. There will be a different fair here - with different horses, with different carts, and the people will be different too. I won't be here anymore, and neither will you. What is so important here that you don’t have time to look at the sky?...
The world is beautiful, perfect, and endlessly interesting. You just need to realize life in the moment Here and Now. And she will open all her doors to you. Yes, be open with your heart!
The ego keeps you waiting: tomorrow, when you succeed, you can rejoice. And today, of course, you must suffer, you must sacrifice. Tomorrow simply means something that never happens. This is postponing life until later. This is a great strategy to keep you captive to suffering. The ego cannot rejoice in the present. It is not capable of existing in the present; it dwells only in the future or in the past, which do not exist. The past no longer exists, the future does not yet exist; both are non-existent things. In the present, pure moment, you will not find the ego in yourself - only silent joy and pure silent emptiness.
OSHO ---
Never go back to the past. It kills your present. Memories are meaningless, they only take away your precious time. Stories don't repeat, people don't change. Never wait for anyone, don’t stand still. Those who need it will catch up. Do not look back. All hopes and dreams are just illusions, don’t let them take over you.
Remember! Never, under any circumstances, give up. And always love, you cannot live without love, but love this present, the past cannot be returned, and the future may not begin.
Sometimes we say how good it used to be, how we miss those times. In the future, we will say the same about what is happening now. Appreciate the present.
If you always look back, you won't be able to see what lies ahead...
M/f "Ratatouille" ---
Close your eyes and you will see. Stop listening and you will hear. Stay alone with your heart - and you will realize...
Use every moment so that you don’t repent later and regret that you missed your youth.
Paulo Coelho ---
Try, at least in a small way, not to bring your mind.
Look at the world - just look.
Don't say "like" or "dislike". Don't say anything.
Don't say words, just watch.
The mind will feel uncomfortable.
The mind would like to say something.
You simply say to the mind:
“Be quiet, let me see, I’ll just watch”...
Stretching out their hands to the stars, people often forget about the flowers under their feet.
D. Benthem ---
Life is the way it is seen. It's magical enough that you don't need to invent anything else.
—— Bernard Werber —-
There are three traps that steal joy and peace: regret about the past, anxiety about the future, and ungratefulness for the present.
If you want to be a happy person, don’t rummage through your memory.
Accept reality as it is.
Appreciate everything that comes into your life.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Let go when the time is right.
I was inspired by the words of Chogyam Trungpa, a Tibetan meditation master, who was once asked how he managed, fleeing from the Chinese invasion, to cross the Himalayas with his disciples, having almost no preparation or provisions, not knowing the path and outcome of his risky undertaking. His answer was short: “Alternately moving your legs.”
Jorge Bucay
Happiness is available to everyone, and is available right now.
We just need to stop and look carefully at the treasures that already surround us.
There are people who think that somewhere is better than here.
There are people who think that once upon a time it was (will be) better than it is now.
There are people who feel good here and now, while others think.
How you live every day is how your whole life goes. How easy it is to give in to the idea that one day does not solve anything, since we have many more similar days ahead of us. But a wonderful life is nothing more than a sequence of wonderful, well-lived days, coming in succession, like pearls strung on a thread in a beautiful necklace. Every day is valuable in its own way. The past is left behind and the future is just a figment of the imagination, so today is all you own. So use this day wisely.
Life is “now.” This is not “tomorrow” and not “yesterday”. One is unknown, the other does not exist.
Peace and serenity can only exist in the present moment. If you really want to be in peace and harmony, you must be in peace and harmony right now.
Your whole life flies by in just one moment.
In these moments, all of you...
Live in a world without ideas about what will happen next. Whether you are a winner or a loser, it doesn't matter. Death will take everything away. Whether you win or lose is immaterial. The only thing that matters, and always has, is how you play the game. Did you enjoy it? - the game itself... - and then every moment becomes a moment of joy.
Osho
Walking on water is not a miracle.
A miracle is to walk on the Earth and feel truly alive right now.
And smile!
Most of us live at such a frantic pace that real silence and stillness sometimes become something alien and uncomfortable. Most people, hearing my words, will say that they do not have time to sit and look at a flower. They will tell you that they don’t have time to just enjoy the laughter of their children or run barefoot in the rain. They will say that they are too busy for such activities. They don't even have friends, because friends also take time...
Robin Sharma ---
THE JOY OF LIFE
Ask yourself: “Am I experiencing joy, peace and ease in what I am doing now?”
If not, it means that time obscures the present moment, and life is perceived as a heavy burden or a struggle. If there is no joy, no peace, no ease in what you are doing, then this does not necessarily mean that you should change what you are doing.
All you have to do is change HOW you do it.
"HOW" is always more important than "WHAT".
See if you have the opportunity to pay even more, and much more, attention to the DOING ITSELF than to the RESULT that you want to achieve through this doing. Direct all your attention to what THIS MOMENT gives you. At the same time, this will mean that you fully accept what is, because you cannot give something your full attention and at the same time resist it.
As soon as you begin to honor and respect the present moment, then all existing discontent dissipates and the need for struggle disappears, and life begins to flow joyfully and calmly. No reality can be a threat to you.
If yesterday was lost due to some mistake, then do not lose today by remembering this...
No matter how long your path may be, there is never more to it than: one step, one breath, one moment - Now.
Eckhart Tolle ---
Don't spoil what you have by wanting what you don't have; remember that once you only hoped to get what you have now.
Be deeply aware that the present moment is all you have. Believe in him and make him beautiful.
There is no point in looking for a place where you will feel good. It makes sense to learn how to create this well anywhere.
We spend, we let it slip through our fingers best moments, as if God knows how many of them are in stock. We usually think about tomorrow, about the next year, at a time when you need to grab with both hands the cup, poured over the edge, which life itself holds out, unbidden, with its usual generosity - and drink and drink until the cup passes into other hands. Nature does not like to treat and offer for a long time. Alexander Ivanovich Herzen
There comes a time in everyone's life when you need to understand that the old is no more. It was there in the past, but now it has collapsed completely and irrevocably. This is how we learn to let go of time.
Only very few people live for today. Most are preparing to live later.
Be in the moment. Bring your total awareness into this moment. Don't let the past interfere, don't let the future come in. The past is no more, it is dead. Die to the past at every moment, whatever the past may be, heaven or hell. Whatever it is, die to him, and be fresh and young, and be born again in this moment.A person appears to be in the present, but this is only an appearance. Man lives in the past. It passes through the present, but remains rooted in the past.The past is gone - why cling to it? You can't do anything with it; you can't go back, you can't remake it - why cling to it? This is not a treasure. And if you cling to the past and think that it is a treasure, of course your mind will want to experience it again and again in the future. Osho
This moment contains the seed of the greatest truth. This is the truth you wanted to remember. But as soon as this moment arrived, you immediately began to formulate thoughts about it. Instead of being in the moment, you stood on the sidelines and judged it. Then you reacted. This means you acted as you have done before.
Approaching each moment as if it were clean slate, without any prior thought about it, you can create yourself as you are, and not repeat yourself as you once were.
Life is a process of creation, and you continue to live as if it were a process of repetition!
Neil Donald Walsh
Everything we perceive during our lives is “in the moment.” Things exist only for a moment, only we do not dare or do not want to consider them in this way.
—— Rinpoche Dzongsar Khyentse ——Does the sun shine on me today so that I can think about yesterday?
Friedrich Schiller
Many people wait all week for Friday, the whole month of the holiday, the whole year of summer, and the whole life of happiness... But you need to rejoice in every day and enjoy every moment.
