Deepak Chopra

According to this law [the law of Dharma], you have a unique talent and a unique way of expressing it. There is something that you can do better than anyone else in the whole world–and for every unique talent and unique expression of that talent, there are also unique needs. When these needs are matched with the creative expression of your talent, that is the spark that creates affluence. Expressing your talents to fulfill needs creates unlimited wealth and abundance.

If you want to get what you want give up being right.

We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.

The physical world, including our bodies, is a response of the observer. We create our bodies as we create the experience of our world.

The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years.

A verse from the Veda says, ‘What you see, you become.’ In other words, just the experience of perceiving the world makes you what you are. This is a quite literal statement.

Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one’s self to do without it.

The unhappiest man on earth is the one who has nothing to do.

When I hold you in my arms and I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm because happiness is a warm gun.

We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.

You don’t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.

You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.

Choose happiness, not success, as your life’s goal. If you become successful but aren’t happy, then what is the point?

Happiness and unhappiness are in the heart and spirit of each one of us: If you feel unhappy, then place yourself above that and act so that your happiness does not get to be dependent on anything.

Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers, and are famous preservers of good looks.

If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.

I’m always smiling and happy.

Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.

One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.

Relinquishing the delusional hope that we can or must be flawless allows us to seek happiness in the place it can be found: Our real, messy, imperfect experience

I think happiness is love.
