Understanding Happiness - Share and Spread it

You cannot pursue happiness and catch it. Happiness comes upon you unawares while you are helping others. The philosophy of happiness is pointedly expressed in the proverb which reads :"Help thy brother's boat across and 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 pocket-book, 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 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. Abraham Lincoln once said "We are as happy as we make up our minds to be."

Happiness does not come from 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 after glow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demands our best.

Happiness grows out of harmonious relationship with others, based on attitudes of goodwill, tolerance, understanding and love.

Happiness is found in little things: a baby's smile, a mail from a friend, the song of a bird and a light in the window.

Happiness comes from keeping constructively busy; creative hobbies are the key to happy leisure hours and retirement years.
