Once I asked God to give me happiness. God said, “No. I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you”
Indeed, love and happiness is the one option that is always open to us. Love and happiness awakens and enhances all of our senses. Love makes us feel overwhelmed with joy and happiness. Speak kind words and you will hear kind echoes. The measure of our poverty or of our wealth is the love and happiness we give to others. Appreciation makes people feel more important than almost anything else in the world. When there is love in the heart, it just naturally spread to others. So spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor...Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting...
I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy and loved. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace
Love and happiness has to spring spontaneously from within. And it is no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force. Love and coercion can never go together; but though love cannot be forced on anyone, it can be awakened in people through love itself. Love is essentially self-communicative; those who do not have it catch it from those who have it. True love is unconquerable and irresistible, and it goes on gathering power and spreading itself, until eventually it transforms everyone whom it touches.
So I urge you to find a quiet place and listen. It should be very quiet. The only sound you should hear is your heart beating. Listen. Peer deep down inside your heart. Do you see someone that holds a special place in your heart? Maybe they have always been there when you needed them; maybe they offered words of encouragement; taught you a lesson; comforted you when you were sick; praised you on your accomplishments. Make this their lucky day. You have the POWER to spread happiness today. A quick note or a kind word is all it takes to bring a smile and lasting memory to someone very special.
Always remember that the world needs more warm and loving hearts. And a kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everyone around brighten into smiles. May God bring back to you all the happiness you've given to others I wish everyone days with Joy
