How to Find Happiness

Everybody, everywhere seeks happiness, it's true,
But finding it and keeping it seems difficult to do.

Difficult because we think that happiness is found
Only in the places where wealth and fame abound-

And so we go on searching in "palaces of pleasure"
Seeking recognition and monetary treasure.

Unaware that happiness is just "a state of mind"
Within reach of everyone who takes time to be kind.

For in making others happy we will be happy, too.
For the happiness you give away returns to "shine on you."

Helen Steiner Rice

Happiness is found in
being nicer than you need to be 
and in The Circle of Giving.
