The art of happiness...

The art of happiness...

 

Before the Dalai Lama wrote his

YOU CAN'T PURSUE HAPPINESS AND CATCH IT.  HAPPINESS COMES UPON YOU UNAWARES WHILE YOU ARE HELPING OTHERS.

 

THE PHILOSOPHY OF HAPPINESS IS POINTEDLY EXPRESSED IN THE OLD HINDU PROVERB WHICH READS:"HELP THY BROTHERS BOAT ACROSS,

AND LO! THINE OWN HAS REACHED THE SHORE."

 

HAPPINESS IS LIKE PERFUME--YOU CAN'T SPRAY IT ON OTHERS WITHOUT GETTING SOME ON YOURSELF.

 

HAPPINESS DOES NOT DEPEND UPON A FULL POCKETBOOK, BUT UPON A MIND FULL OF RICH THOUGHTS AND A HEART FULL OF RICH EMOTIONS.

 

HAPPINESS DOES NOT DEPEND UPON WHAT HAPPENS OUTSIDE OF YOU BUT ON WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE OF YOU;

IT IS MEASURED BY THE SPIRIT IN WHICH YOU MEET THE PROBLEMS OF LIFE.

 

HAPPINESS IS A STATE OF MIND.

 

PRESIDENT LINCOLN ONCE SAID: "WE ARE AS HAPPY AS WE MAKE UP OUR MINDS TO BE."

HAPPINESS DOES NOT COME FROM DOING WHAT WE LIKE TO DO BUT FROM LIKING WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.

 

HAPPINESS COMES FROM PUTTING OUR HEARTS IN OUR WORK AND DOING IT WITH JOY AND ENTHUSIASM.

HAPPINESS DOES NOT COME FROM DOING EASY WORK BUT FROM THE AFTERGLOW OF SATISFACTION THAT COMES AFTER THE

ACHIEVEMENT OF A DIFFICULT TASK THAT DEMANDED OUR BEST.

 

HAPPINESS GROWS OUT OF HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS, BASED ON ATTITUDES OF GOODWILL, TOLERANCE,

UNDERSTANDING, LOVE AND JOYOUS LAUGHTER OF LIFE'S ENJOYMENT IN THE SPIRIT OF GOODNESS.

 

HAPPINESS IS FOUND IN LITTLE THINGS: A BABY'S SMILE, A LETTER OR E-MAIL FROM A FRIEND, THE SONG AND SIGHT OF A BEAUTIFUL BIRD,

A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW, A KIND WORD IN A WORLD OF VENOM.

 

HAPPINESS COMES FROM KEEPING CONSTRUCTIVELY BUSY; CREATIVE HOBBIES ARE THE KEYS TO HAPPY LEISURE HOURS AND RETIREMENT YEARS.

 

THE MASTER SECRET OF HAPPINESS IS TO MEET THE CHALLENGE OF EACH NEW DAY WITH THE SERENE FAITH THAT:

"ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM WHO LOVE THE GOOD LORD GOD."; 

WHO, BY THE WAY,  IS THE ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE. ..

 

MAY YOUR GOD BLESS YOU.

 

 

OK, YOU'RE SKEPTICAL. VERY WELL... THEN, LETS SEE THE GOVERNMENT OR ANYONE ELSE YOU KNOW BUILD A PLANET LIKE
OUR BEAUTIFUL PLANET EARTH....

 

DON'T BOTHER. JUST ENJOY!
