“If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a months, get married. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, serve others.” ~ Chinese proverb
Happiness for a lifetime. Sounds pretty good, huh?
Our search for a lifetime of happiness is often sidetracked by all the shiny objects in our lives.
Newer, cooler stuff.
The newest, coolest gadget.
Money.
Our favorite TV show.
None of this is bad in and of itself. It all just needs a little perspective
This quote puts it all into perspective.
What if we focused on serving others instead?
We can build our own happiness brick by brick. One act of service for others at a time.
Make it a great day.
