Secret of Happiness Vii

Happiness 

is easier achieved

not by the accumulation of riches

but rather

by the diminution of our needs and

of our desires!

If we could only think what is best for the soul we would certainly act otherwise! Thank you, dearest Tom for your gracious comment! Take care!
