“The belief that unhappiness is selfless
and happiness is selfish
is
misguided.
It's more selfless to act happy.
It takes energy,
generosity,
and discipline
to be unfailingly lighthearted,
yet everyone
takes the happy person for granted.
No one is careful of his feelings
or tries to keep his spirits high.
He seems self-sufficient;
he becomes a
cushion for others.
And because happiness seems unforced,
that person
usually gets no credit.”
Gretchen Rubin
The Happiness Project
