The Secret of Happiness

What is the secret of happiness?

Many people ask themselves that question. Well, I believe it is being satisfied with what you've got and not wanting ever more things. If you've got your basic needs satisfied then you're better off than many people.

So why do some people live well while others struggle?

Well, it really comes down to luck, but what does luck depend on? Do we make our own luck or is there some greater force at work controlling our destinies?

Do you ever feel there's a pattern to life?
Do things sometimes just slot into place neatly? Maybe you find something you were looking for without trying. Maybe an opportunity appears out of the blue. So where do these come from?

Well, if you start out by being generous, you'll probably find that you get more back than you give. Such generosity doesn't have to be in money terms, but you could give your time free to help somebody out if you don't need the money. Later on when they have overcome their difficulties they'll probably return the favour.
