    Take vacations go as many places as you can , you can always make money ,you can’t always make memories..Happiness is hidden within us we have just to remove our worries

    When young I always used to thing money brings happiness, living luxuriously brings happiness but now after experiencing life since 73 years I have understood that money does not bring all the happiness, living luxuriously does not bring all the happiness , living healthily and leading a simple life is the happiest life.

    God has given me a healthy life, a loving family and a gem of a husband , he is simple but because of his simplicity and being economic only has given me happiness in retired life. We should not compare our life with others . If you are not happy with what you have, then keep in mind someone else is happy with a lot less than what you have . When you keep your worries inside then happiness decreases and we feel depressed but when we share our worries , it becomes less and we feel happy. Happiness comes when you believe in what you are doing, know what you are doing, and love what you are doing.

    Life Is Very Strange. I used to feel that those who wear high quality dresses are the happiest but understood with experience that I am most comfortable in simple dresses. We enjoy roadside food with friends rather than sitting in a five star hotel with hi fi people.

    I used to feel that though my relatives and friends who have passed Xth and are homemakers are married to a Graduate and leading a luxurious life travelling in cars, whereas though I passed Xth but was a working woman and not married to a Graduate but I think I am more happier than them.

    Just sharing some quotes about happiness which I feel is so true

    Life Is Simple Indeed But We Make It Complex By Running After What Never Gives Us Happiness …
    We Shouldn’t Chase Luxuries & Glamour Blindly,Lets Focus On The Peace Of Heart n Soul Also … ♥ ♥


    PEACE of MIND is available FREELY, If we just Let go of 3 C’s – CRITICIZING, COMPARING, COMPLAINING….
    The Happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts . So Think Happy & Positive……. have a happy day.

    1. “Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”
      Buddha
    2. “Happiness is the art of never holding in your mind the memory of any unpleasant thing that has passed.”
      Unknown
    3. “To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.”
      Albert Camus
    4. “If you want happiness for an hour — take a nap.’
      If you want happiness for a day — go fishing.
      If you want happiness for a year — inherit a fortune.

      Ashley Montagu
    6. “Don’t rely on someone else for your happiness and self-worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can’t love and respect yourself – no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are – completely; the good and the bad – and make changes as YOU see fit – not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”
      Stacey Charter
    7. “It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.”

      Epictetus
    11. “We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”
      Frederick Keonig
    12. “Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
      Thich Nhat Hanh
    13. “Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”
      Eskimo Proverb
    14. “To be kind to all, to like many and love a few, to be needed and wanted by those we love, is certainly the nearest we can come to happiness.”
      Mary Stuart
    15. “There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality.”
      Seneca

    So true Vijima. I also think creating memories is more important than saving money. It also increases love within the family. It could be as simple as playing games together, having dinner together, etc. Love the quotes on happiness.

    Very true, money can't buy happiness although Its an important part of our life.
    Its one once thinking, what is there in new gadgets - tell me frankly do we use all the features of a costly phone.
    People go for luxury car as status symbol, think its just a means of transportation any car is same.
    Yes we buy costly dresses sarees for function as sometimes it is must.

    I enjoy spending Sunday and holidays with my family and friends.

    I agree with you dear @iyerviji sister. Memories can be more valuable than money. Money can come and go but occasions, experiences, opportunities come only once and cannot be had by money once missed.

    Still, we all need money as the world respects and responds to money only, but not to our good memories!

    I think we may like to value both- money and memories and be moderate about both.

    Thanks a lot for the very valuable quotes!
