Daily Quote

"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions."
-Dalai Lama
You can't buy happiness. No one can just wrap up some happiness and give it to you. You can't buy a can of happiness at the store. You have to work to earn it. Smile or do something nice! Your actions greatly affect your future. When you get a compliment, doesn't that make you happy? You receive these compliments due to your own actions in the past or present. An example (not a very good one, but it is still an example) could be if you put on a nice top this morning, you will likely get some compliments. Your actions of choosing to wear that top have now caused a compliment! A better example of happiness from your actions is service. When you serve people, this amazing feeling of happiness washes over you and your day gets better. 

You can't go and buy some ready made happiness at the store. You have to work to get it. Serve and bring happiness to both yourself and all of the people who's lives you have just changed for the better.
