That thought is the problem. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.

Happiness never decreases by being shared. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, then there will be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. In the adaptability and ease with which we experience change, lies our happiness and freedom. Walk to the edge. Choose with no regret. Do what you love.

Live as if this is all there is. It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are, whether it's greedy or loving. There is nothing to forgive. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. It is appreciating what you have. Happiness is wanting what you get. Being happy is being in love with that momentary experience. Love is happiness with what you see. So love and happiness really are the same thing I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have.

It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. It's not what you're gonna get in the end--it's not the final curtain--it's really in the doing it, and loving what you're doing.

Can you decide that your happiness can come from someone else's success? Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.

Barr "View your life from your funeral: Looking back at your life experiences, what have you accomplished?
