55 Happiness Quotes That Will Make Them Fall In Love With You All Over Again
A smile is the most attractive thing you can wear..
By Alexandra Churchill — Written on Aug 18, 2021

Love — it makes us smile, it makes us giggle, and it makes us rejoice in the little moments we share together.
Doing something simple as sharing sweet love quotes with your special someone has the power to make them feel happy like nothing else can. In other words, love creates happiness in us as human beings.
But how much does love help, or how much does a lack of love hinder, our happiness?
Researchers working on Harvard's famous Grant Study have now spent more than 80 years trying to answer that exact question.
George E. Vaillant, the psychiatrist who led the study for more than 40 years, summed it up as follows : "The seventy-five years and twenty million dollars expended on the Grant Study points to a straightforward five-word conclusion: Happiness is love. Full stop."
As Vaillant puts it, there are two pillars of happiness: "One is love. The other is finding a way of coping with life that does not push love away."
All of this is to say that scientific research proves what we've suspected all along: Love is key to leading a happy and fulfilling life. And quotes about happiness and love are just one step towards fulfilling that sentiment.

This is the responsibility of the True Parents. The True Parents must establish the original world where the conscience is always victorious, that is, the world of absolute goodness that all people will treasure. The secret for accomplishing this is simple. When face to face with the True Parents, and when confronted with true love, true life and true lineage, the false parent, Satan, is completely helpless, no matter how much he may kick and struggle. To align ourselves completely with God’s Will, God and we must form an eternal relationship of subject and object partners, based on true love. Satan has no way to wedge himself into this eternal relationship. When you begin to live by altruistic, true love, you can receive the holy marriage Blessing and be connected to the true lineage. Then your eternal life will be assured. True love, true life and true lineage will expand eternally through your descendants. True Parents are absolutely necessary in this process. -For Even More Blessings SEND us daily Your Prayers Requests & Your Researches, Projects, Speeches, Record It Video, Audio Or Papers Word Documents Text Reports For Ultimat --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nicolae-cirpala/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nicolae-cirpala/support

There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow. Today is the right day to Love, Believe, Do and mostly Live. — Dalai Lama

Tremendous Happiness And Love quotations
Happiness is that you have three things: something you do, something you love, and something you aspire to.

Rules for Happiness: something to do, someone to love, something to hope for.

The purpose of life is not to be happy.
It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
True happiness comes from having a sense of inner peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved by cultivating altruism, love and compassion, and by eliminating anger, selfishness and greed.

Everybody wants happiness, and nobody wants pain, but you can't have a rainbow without a little rain.

Who Was Buddha?
Only a few details are known about the life of Siddharta Gautama, the man who would later be known throughout the world as The Buddha, or the Enlightened One. He was born into a life of privilege in a village near present-day Nepal around the 5 th or 6 th century.
As a prince, he only witnessed the hardships of the outside world when he was in his late 20’s. The experience spurred him to go on a quest for enlightenment (or Nirvana ). Once he achieved Nirvana, he became known as Buddha.
He imparted his teachings to many so that others can achieve Nirvana as well.
