" Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others." Buddha
Here at search warp how many of us have been moved, motivated and inspired by the writings of various authors. Yes, we all try to reach out to others in some manner. To let them all know how we feel on certain issues affecting our lives as well as the lives of others hear at home and abroad.
"The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for." Allan K. Chalmers
At this point in my life, I have found peace of mind. The world still is in a troubled state; however, what is one to do to help others who are in need of help? One can become involved in many organizations such as US SERVICE
Although I am never alone my Lord is with me just what he expects of me I don't know but I do know my actions are not in vain I certainly am not perfect I have many faults I'm only a mortal man.
" Whoever is happy will make others happy, too." Mark Twain
In the struggles we are faced with in our realistic world, seeing someone happy can also make you happy. Perhaps a jingle that Jimmy Durante once used " make just one someone happy and you will be happy too." can be very helpful to us if we just try to make someone happy we too can be happy.
Ricky Nelson came out with a song back in 1972 titled " Garden Party" some of the lyrics go like this " You can't please everyone so you got to please yourself"
We all as a part of the human race have our own way of dealing with life. We cannot change others for we ourselves would not want to change into someone we are not.
"Advice is one of those things it is far more blessed to give than to receive." Carolyn Wells
Perhaps the above quote by Carolyn Wells has some truth to it; however, I believe every one who has dealt with the realities of life can be very helpful to us as individuals if they would advise others whom have gone through similar situations.
