Hector and the Search for Happiness

Tonight, I saw a very wonderful movie, Hector and the Search for Happiness.  If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it.  It combined some great humor, travel and some points to ponder about happiness.

Are you happy?  Where do you think happiness comes from?  What do you need to be happy?  If you are not happy, why not?

Some quotes from the movie that I liked:

  • “Making comparisons can spoil your happiness”.
  • “Many people only see happiness in their future”.
  • “More important [to question] than what we are searching for is what we are avoiding”.
  • “Avoiding unhappiness is not the road to happiness”.
  • “Happiness is feeling completely alive”.
  • “Listening is Loving”.
  • “Happiness is a state of being”.
  • Is the point to feel only happiness?  No, it’s to feel all the emotions.
