Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you’re in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.

Deepak Chopra
About This Quote

The idea that happiness is merely a state of mind is one that has been around for centuries. But while it might be true, it still requires us to be able to recognize our happiness before it disappears. The quote suggests that if we are happy for no reason, we are being immature. We are being childish in the sense that we have no self-control over our emotions.

We are acting irrationally and not taking responsibility for ourselves. The quote points out that if you are happy for a reason, you’re in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.
