Why is it so hard to be happy?

The reason that happiness is so hard to acquire is because it is found only when one is unselfish enough to earnestly work at making others happy.

“It is one of the most beautiful

compensations of this life

that no man can sincerely try

to help another without

helping himself”  Emerson

“There is a destiny that

makes us brothers,

none goes his way alone:

all that we send into the

lives of others

comes back into our own.”

     Edwin Markham

CONCLUSION:

“I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, LET ME DO IT NOW.  Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
