“Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.”
Robert G. Ingersoll
Happiness starts now.
Happiness isn’t something we chase far away or wait for someday. It’s found in the present moment, right where we are. The time to feel joy is now, and the place is exactly where life has placed us. We don’t need perfect conditions to be happy—we only need a grateful heart and a willing spirit. Happiness begins when we learn to appreciate what we have.
Even more, true happiness often comes from making others happy. A kind word, a helping hand, or a shared smile can light up someone’s day—and ours too. Joy grows when it’s shared. When we bring happiness to others, we create it for ourselves. This is the simple and lasting way to live with meaning and joy.
