“Smile, even if you feel very bad, in pain and want to cry, smile for real, with sincere joy, straighten your shoulders and straighten up, as if you are happy and proud and want to sing with happiness. The body will believe and rejoice, maybe not immediately, but very quickly, it simply does not know how to truly suffer when you sincerely smile. And after the body, the soul will rejoice again..."
Maria Semenova
“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."

About happiness in aphorisms
The word happiness itself immediately raises many questions, as do all meaningful words, such as love, humility... and life itself. Only happiness in this life is important, everyone is looking for it and we are born for a happy life, but it is only necessary to follow it in accordance with our destiny and with ourselves naturally. Happiness comes from happy experiences, but there is also a deeper feeling of happiness. If moments pass and can be replaced by not entirely pleasant experiences, then deep happiness lasts a lifetime and at any moment in life.
First, you need to understand yourself, your values and priorities - what we really need and value. And then see all the constituent aspects of life for you that are included in the word happiness. We can talk a lot about happiness, since it depends on our perception, which in turn depends on many internal qualities and lifestyle. And so you can philosophize endlessly, but there is only so much time in our age, with the ever-increasing flow of information. You need to react to everything immediately and without thinking for a long time, otherwise as long as such a person thinks about happiness, it will always run away. Here we each need to develop a short formula for this capacious and deep concept. The thoughts and statements of wise people who have concentrated a general idea in these aphorisms can be very helpful. Using aphorisms you can create a complete picture of the thoughts of all humanity!
“If you don’t know how to be content Now, having what you already have, you will never be satisfied, even having the maximum benefits that you can now imagine. Contentment is not the result of having a certain amount of goods, but a state of the Heart that knows how to be content and give thanks!”
Everyone, depending on his individual qualities, feelings, and experiences, seeks his own happiness, and therefore his formula sounds one way or another. Did the person himself feel or does he feel happiness at the moment of drawing up the formula? Each aphorism is a landmark, a beacon in an ocean covered with fog. After reading or listening to other people’s formulas for happiness, it’s easier to create one for yourself! Suddenly, after reading any of the quotes below, you will find something close to your heart. And who else but the heart is the pointing compass of our Path, Destiny, Destination, etc.....
