I read this article on Happiness in an old paper and found it to be very nicely written. Thought that you'll like it too. Read ahead...
HAPPINESS can be spontaneous and natural but it also requires nurturing and development. What brings happiness to many of us is the simple sharing of our lives, done with pure love.
"You don't pursue happiness. It comes to you when you give it to others."
People are always happy when they are with the ones they love, especially in the absence of conflict. Some have little material wealth but are happy. Children are good cases in point.
The quality of happiness depend on how receptive we are internally. Small things like the beautiful sunset or a child's smile can make us happy. If your happiness spills over into the lives of others and uplifts them, you can consider that true happiness.
Imagine you've been asked to speak at a special occasion in celebration of someone else's life. Get help from others. Write their virtues out to make an uplifting gift. Instill in yourself the habit of seeing the best in everyone. Focus on the positive and help others to be the best they can and you will remain happy.
When we give happiness to the world, our stock of happiness increases. It creates zeal an enthusiasm, creativity and adventure!
Great work is done when we are happy.
Happiness is not in the things, people or physical comforts, but it is in the mind.
