Happiness Is a Habit {Printable Quote}

While I was at my parents' house over spring break, I read through a few of my mom's quote books.  I'm pretty sure  I get my love of quotes from her.  

I found a book on happiness, and couldn't put it down.  I wrote down four small notebook pages worth of happiness quotes. Here's one of my favorites.

I often think happy people are just born that way, but this quote makes me think they just work at it.  I love thinking of happiness as a habit, and not just a fleeting emotion.  I'm always trying to develop better habits, and happiness can be one of those habits.  It's easy to be happy when every thing's going your way (how often does that really happen, though), but it's not so easy when life's a bit rough.  I want to learn how to cultivate happiness enough that it becomes a habit for me always, not just when life's easy.  I read another quote from Richard G. Scott that stated, "happiness can and should be the general  background in which life is lived."  I want my life to be that way!
