The odyssey to happiness lies in the dimension of the heart

We all long for happiness, yet the pursuit of happiness usually only leads to temporary pleasure that melts away like a flake of snow in a river

For how can we be truly happy believing that life as we know it is some kind of accident and when we die, we simply cease to exist. How can there be happiness in beliefs based purely on science, when the only thing that science has conclusively proved is that we have much to learn.

"The odyssey to happiness lies in the dimension of the heart. Such a journey is made on stepping-stones of selflessness, wisdom, contentment, and faith."
James E. Faust

"The fact that I don't understand the mysteries of prayer or religion no longer keeps me from enjoying the richer, happier life that religion brings".
Dale Carnegie

Great quote. Happiness is a condition that we can generate for ourselves....if we choose. As the Dalai Lama said " There is no road to happiness. Happiness is the way.
