Trying to be HAPPY by accumulating possessions, is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches all over your body.

George Carlin

I love this saying.
It reminds me that I can not TRY to be happy, because I AM. Happiness does not depend on something outside of me - happiness lies within, and is always there.

So I don't have to depend on something to be happy; nothing, no matter what, nada, nobody, nichts! It might add to my happiness but IT in itself can never make me happy.

An encouragement to STOP WAITING for something to make you happy, and rather than looking for things to make you happy, tap into the HAPPINESS that is within.

It lasts forever as opposed to the short term "happiness" we enjoy from having "things"

I am not saying we ought not to have things and get pleasure from them; that is of course entirely up to the individual and there is nothing wrong with that.

Written with love and sent with love, joy and laughter
