Happy Quotes
“Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions"(Dalai Lama).
What the Dalai Lama is saying is that if you want happiness it is up to you entirely and no one else. Happiness does not come from nothing, an individual must create it him or her self. The significance this quote brings into my life is that in order to be happy with myself I need to recognize that the feeling must come from me and no one else. This quote is significant in my life because I love making people happy regardless of who they are.

“Happiness depends upon ourselves"(Aristotle).
What Aristotle is saying is that happiness thoroughly depends on ourselves and how we act. It does not depend on anyone else, but yourself. I can relate to this because my happiness toward others depends clearly on myself and no one else. This quote I choose because I remember reading "Plato's Republic" and this being in that book. The quote also draws a great picture in my mind on how our attitude depends on us as individuals.
