No matter how hard shit hits the fan, happiness is still a choice. :)

Christina found these quotes: "Success isn't the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will truly be successful."-Unknown"Happiness comes from your capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be wanted." -Unknown
"Happiness to me means.. being assured about my life, and where it is going... happiness is what everyone desires to be.... with their significant other, or with their friends, and family... everyone wants to and strives to be happy.... Sometimes its a matter of reaching in yourself and making yourself happy first... Sometimes people rely on others for happiness which is only a temporary fix. Happiness is truly a emotion that saves people."
-Olga

"I was somewhat taken back by your questioning with defining the word “happiness”. Please do not be taken back by the next for words…Yet, defining happiness is like defining the word YELLOW to a blind man. Therefore, I have trouble with defining this to you and others. Yes, there are quotes that are uplifting and delightful that will use the word “happiness” and may describe it…of course, this term is according to the speaker or writes emotion.
I believe that:
1. Word has no emotions or meaning unless you give them meaning and emotions. They are neutral.
2. I may use example of words yet it has no value unless one feels the emotion for themselves.
Example: The word Pregnancy could bring a smile to person feelings of happiness, joy, and hope. On the other hand the same word can bring sorrow, pain, and disappointment. Yes, I am a “deep” person. Defining the word happiness can place people in despair or pessimism…pending on the overall experience and thoughts of an individual. Even stating what I state above can draw on away.
I believe happiness, in my terms, is what I allow and perceive. One cannot seek happiness in others: happiness lye’s within. Seeking happiness from others place one in a position of disappointment, anger, jealousy, and doubt for the moment a person is indifferent…their “happiness” is taken away. Therefore, it must start within. Happiness must freely flow within you not without or externally. So, you would like some quotes? I am humble to oblige. With all my LOVE, LOVE!
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. ~Helen Keller
Storybook happiness involves every form of pleasant thumb-twiddling; true happiness involves the full use of one's powers and talents. ~ John W. Gardner
The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness. ~ Virginia Woolf
"Again and again I therefore admonish my students in Europe and America: Don't aim at success -- the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run -- in the long-run, I say! -- success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it." ~ Viktor Frankl
I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves. ~ Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt
Don't help me or serve me, but let me see it once, because I need it. Don't work for my happiness, my brothers—show me yours—show me that it is possible—show me your achievement—and the knowledge will give me the courage for mine. Mallory (the young artist) to Roark in "The Fountainhead" ~ Ayn Rand "
