“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude” — Denis Waitley

I don’t know about the “every minute” part, but I’ve found that happiness for me is very often a spiritul experience and that I’m much more likely to feel happy when I’m experiencing love, grace, and gratitude personally and/or from or through others.

I also believe that temporary happiness can sometimes be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed–if that wasn’t true I believe they wouldn’t have the allure that makes them so attractive to most people. But I’ve also found that temporary happiness often leads to even greater long-term unhappiness and sometimes misery, and it’s a very poor substitute for sustained or long-lasting happiness.
