Creating Happiness

I'm often accused of being in a constant state of happiness. In fact my daughter says I live in the world of unicorns, rainbows and puppies. I have always been this way. If I were an engine I would idle there.

In trying to figure out what makes people happy CNN asked some well-know thinkers.

Here are a few of their comments.

"The most important thing to happiness is to make other people happy." Deepak Chopra

"Happiness is determined by one's circumstances. On the other hand joy is a more permanent state of being and is not determined by one's present circumstances." Joel Osteen

"You achieve happiness by striving to be a good person. And happiness shows up even when you weren't watching." Harold Kushner
