We are happy when we are using our potential. Striving against difficulties and overcoming them---reaching for achievement
and finding it---this is happiness. We are happy when we are learning,growing, and accomplishing. Working toward a worthy goal that demands our best is the secret of happiness.
In today''s world happiness seems to have become an archaic word - both in thoughts, deeds and practice. We cannot prosper until we are happy.
Happiness is a state of mind. We are never affected by what keeps on happening with us as much by our own opinion as to what is happening with us. For realities are constant while perceptions differ.
All our past memories can now be only greeted with an amused smile. If you were to be shedding any of those hot and blinding tears of Unspeakable Anguish - remember, it is incumbent upon us to stop existing and actually start living. For, every reality of today was a mere dream of yesterday. And life''s greatest thrill is tommorrow while our hope sustains life. So, my dear brethren, let us be happy by spreading happiness around and call it a day.
