I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart Yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due Yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
