Don't Worry + Be Happy!

Below is an article on "Happy" written by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale....

I am in total agreement with his words....
..."What kind of people are happy people?In reply to this question, some would say that the mood of 'unhappiness' today is very high. A distinguished writer declared in a magazine article that unhappiness is the commonest thing there is..
And T.S. Eliot, the famous British poet and literary critic, once asked plaintively, "Where is the life...we have lost...in living?"
A great many writers, perhaps because they themselves have lost the secret of happiness, dwell on the prevalence of.....unhappiness.
But I believe there are untold numbers of people who have discovered a precious secret, the secret of how to have happiness in DEPTH.
And, as a matter of fact, unless there is DEPTH in happiness, it isn't genuine.
It is of little value.
Apparently many people are discovering this.
They are finding out how to live in this confused and bewildering world, while at the same time having peace within their hearts and a deep happiness within their natures..daily."
"A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones........Proverbs 17:22
