“Happiness descends on you suddenly, regardless of circumstance, and so indifferently that it seems cruel. It doesn't care where you are, or who you're with. You don't see it coming. You can't make it happen. It might arrive with your next breath, or you might never get to experience it no matter how long you wait. Like the movement of waves, or shifts in the weather, the miracle lies in wait for everyone.”

“Happiness does not come from a job. It comes from knowing what you truly value, and behaving in a way that’s consistent with those beliefs. Many people today resent the suggestion that they’re in charge of the way they feel.Those people are mistaken. That was a big lesson and I learned it several hundred times before it stuck. What you do, who you’re with, and how you feel about the world around you, is completely up to you.”

“Happiness does not come quickly. It is not conferred by any single event, however exciting or comforting or satisfying the event may be. It cannot be purchased, whatever the allure of the next, the newest, the brightest, the best. Happiness, like Carl Sandburg's fog, "comes on little cat feet," often silently, often without our knowing it, too often without our noticing.”

“Happiness does not consist in amusement. In fact, it would be strange if our end were amusement, and if we were to labor and suffer hardships all our life long merely to amuse ourselves.... The happy life is regarded as a life in conformity with virtue. It is a life which involves effort and is not spent in amusement.”

“Happiness Does Not Depend on Circumstances but On the Heart,". The quote speaks to a powerful truth about resilience and inner strength. It suggests that while life's circumstances—whether pleasant or painful—are often out of our control, our internal state, rooted in our heart and mindset, determines whether we find peace and joy. In Lasciato Indietro (Left Behind), this message reflects the journey of facing abandonment, loss, and the struggle of navigating parenthood in difficult times. The heart, with its capacity for hope, forgiveness, and self-acceptance, becomes a sanctuary that external hardships can’t easily shake. By nurturing these qualities, one can find happiness even when circumstances are challenging. The ultimate message is clear: happiness is less about what happens to us and more about how we choose to respond, anchored by what we carry in our hearts.”
