Happiness is what you choose, what you follow, not what follows you. These are the things I have seen, these are the things I now know, these are the things I will carry with me as I go.

About This Quote

Happiness is what you choose, what you follow, not what follows you. These are the things I have seen, these are the things I now know, these are the things I will carry with me as I go. This quote from John Wayne says that happiness is a choice and a decision. If it is a choice, then happiness must be something we can choose for ourselves.

If it is a decision, then happiness is something we make for ourselves. If it follows us, then we cannot make it happen for ourselves and if we cannot make it happen for ourselves, then we do not deserve to be happy.
