Happiness Is Created

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. – The Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama)

Happiness is not something you buy.

Happiness is not some place you get to.

Happiness is not something you trade misery for.

Happiness is something you create – by your thoughts, feelings and actions.

What are you creating?
