Many of us manufacture our own unhappiness. Of course not all
unhappiness is self-created, for social conditions are responsible for not a
few of our woes. Yet, to a large extent, by our thoughts and attitudes we
distill out of the ingredients of life either happiness or unhappiness for
ourselves. Anyone who desires it, who wills it and who learns and applies the
right formula may become a happy person.
If happiness is determined by our thoughts, it is necessary to
drive off the thoughts which make for depression and discouragement.
The way to happiness: keep your heart free from hate, your mind
from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love.
Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. Try
this for a week and you will be surprised.
As you read these words you may say, “There is nothing new in
that.” Indeed, there is something new in it if you have never tried it. When
you start to practice it you will find it the most astonishing method of happy
and successful living you have ever used.
