Happiness?

"Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort."-Franklin D. RooseveltCreativity brings happiness through release of stress. Putting your whole being into molding a form from clay, feeling your base connection to the earth and creation. Covering your hands with the love of the mother, the purity of raw earth and bringing it to life as the Creator caused existence, so can you.Achievement brings happiness through recognition. Your personal recognition of the skills you possess, your ability to succeed. The recognition of your friends, family and associates. The praise gained, the warm glow of self-pride and growing self-confidence."Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable."-Leo C. RostenHow can an idle mind bring about a happy person? An inactive mind brings no inspiration, no hope, no potential for growth. No future in sight."Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected."-George WashingtonI have learned: if you want to be truly happy live within a moral lifestyle. I believe karma exists. If you are good, you will receive good in return. All that you put in to life you will receive in return, it will not return in the same format, the energy will travel its path and return to you."Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times."-AnonEverything in life is a choice. You can choose your mood just as you can choose the colour and the outfit that you are wearing. Every choice requires effort, why should happiness be any different? Strive for happiness, at every action consider whether the action will bring you happiness and in return happiness will seek you out.
