Sunshine and spring

Spring is in the air and that makes me happy! So of course the natural thing is blog more about happiness.
I've read many times that if you want to find happiness you should start by looking within. I agree but eventually I believe that you will end up looking outward. Let me explain.
After you have taken care of your own and your families needs and desires you reach a level of satisfaction. Then it is logical to look outward and ask yourself, how can I help others? How can I be of service towards the betterment of mankind and the world.
You can be most happy in the attainment of your goals and dreams, but then what? It is in our nature to strive for something better. Once our needs and desires are taken care of, we are ready to look outward. The ultimate goal for a human is to do something to make the world a better place to live in. In the meantime enjoy your journey and make a few people happy along the way...

a kind gesture
a smile
a gentle touch
to a wounded soul
your insignificant effort
can mean so much

to the lonely
to the depressed
whose feelings are so intense
your karma echoes
you changed their world
and your physic reward
will be immense
