"Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."
~Joseph Addison
People seem to always be searching for happiness, when the keys to creating happiness lies right before their eyes. Having something worthwhile to do keeps us busy and occupied, and focused on things outside ourselves. Loving is one of the things that make us human--finding some way to express our affection and joy. Something to hope for keeps us growing and moving forward, and that is what living is about.
This week: Ask yourself, "What worthwhile thing can I DO to creat greater happiness in my life?" Give love to someone else or something else--reach out to another. And DREAM about what you HOPE to create in your life. Notice how it feels when you have those 3 essentials in place.
