I cannot tell you how many times a bad day has turned around for me, just by reading one profound quote, whether that be in the day’s newspaper on my commute home, or on social media sometime throughout my day.

So, in the hopes of being that much-needed inspiration to someone out there, I’ve put together 20+ inspiring quotes about happiness.
Why happiness? Well, one thing I know for sure is this…
