Happiness lies in the joy of achievement,
in the thrill of creative effort.

The human spirit needs to accomplish,
to achieve, to triumph to be happy!

Happiness does not come from doing the easy work. The afterglow of satisfaction, comes after the achievement of a difficult task… something that demands your best.

When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless.

But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.

Your personal growth itself contains the seed of happiness. You cannot pursue happiness by itself. Happiness comes from the realization that you have accomplished something great!

Happiness thrives in activity.
It’s a running river… not a stagnant pond.
