Happiness is always decided by your own heart.Mitsuo Aida
When our hearts are tired, happiness inevitably becomes harder to feel, doesn’t it? These are the words of Mitsuo Aida, which convey how happiness appears and also teach us how to find it in our daily lives.
He tells us that happiness is determined by our own hearts, and that noticing the ordinary happiness around us is what matters.
Even in difficult circumstances, trying to find happiness may be what we need to keep moving forward positively in life.
If you’ve done the best you can, worrying won’t improve the situation. I worry about many things, but I don’t worry about water overflowing from a dam.Walt Disney
These are the words of Walt Disney, founder of a dreamland that heals everyone’s heart.
The more earnestly you devote yourself to something, the more worries you’ll have.
You start fretting about this and that, and it can feel like your heart is being crushed by anxiety.
That’s only because you’re facing things sincerely—it’s not a bad thing.
Still, as this quote suggests, sometimes it’s important to let go of your worries.
And even if those worries do come true, if you’ve done everything you could, you’ll likely be able to accept that it would have turned out that way no matter what you did.
Every event has meaning. The work of life is to understand that meaning.Suzanne Somers
There are times when, amid the daily rush of work and life, we ask ourselves what we want to do and how we want to live.
In such moments, a quote from Suzanne Somers, an American entrepreneur and actress, can nourish a tired heart.
When things are hard, thinking that this experience will surely help your future self can lift your spirits and spark new thoughts.
Because she endured breast cancer and continued to show a forward-looking way of life, her words may be all the more empowering.
All misfortunes are nothing but stepping stones to the future.Thoreau
When something unfortunate happens, it can feel like the rest of your life will be nothing but bad.
This quote shines a warm path of light into such a darkened heart.
What counts as misfortune differs from person to person, but in many cases we imagine failure or setback.
Things don’t go smoothly, unforeseen mishaps occur… By seeing them as stepping stones to the future, we can keep facing forward without giving up.
That’s what Thoreau’s words teach us.
If we think of misfortune as a step toward the next stage, we can surely take it in a positive light.
If you keep looking down, you won’t be able to find a rainbow.Sir Charles Spencer “Charlie” Chaplin
When we’re feeling down, we tend to look down…
This is a famous quote by Chaplin that I’d like you to remember at such times.
Rainbows are said to be a sign of good luck, and seeing one makes you feel fortunate, doesn’t it? In this quote, he encourages us to keep looking forward while reminding us not to miss the rainbow.
Rather than a blunt “Do your best,” it resonates precisely because it uses a gentle, indirect expression—“missing the rainbow.” It’s a quote that feels like someone quietly sitting beside you in support.
He who runs away can fight another day.Demosthenes
These words can give courage to those who have failed once and feel like their life is over, or who are truly struggling but are holding back out of a sense of responsibility.
This quote is by Demosthenes, an ancient Greek statesman and orator.
He says that although “to flee” may sound like defeat, it actually means stepping back from the situation, regaining composure, and quietly waiting for the right moment.
Even if you quit in an environment that feels unfavorable, it isn’t running away; I feel it’s about not wasting energy so you can challenge yourself again.

No one anywhere becomes happy through envy.Baltasar Gracián
Everyone feels envy from time to time.
But when it turns into jealousy and makes you hostile toward others, you may end up pushing your own happiness farther away.
Comparing yourself with others isn’t bad, but harboring ill feelings just because you can’t be like them is misplaced.
Constant jealousy wears down your heart and keeps you from seeing your own strengths.
Keep this quote by the philosopher Baltasar Gracián close to your heart, and keep pursuing challenges that lead to your own happiness, not to defeating someone else.
