“There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.”

“Joy is something that we have to choose and then work for.”

“Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given.”

“I am happy.I have something to accomplish, create, and achieve.I am happy.”

“Hard fun is, of course, the idea that we take pleasure in accomplishing something difficult: the joy in meeting and mastering a challenge. As a result, when someone is doing something that is hard fun, moment by moment it looks more like "work" than "fun," but the net effect is pleasurable overall.”

“We feel happy when we accomplish something great, and our hearts filled with satisfaction about what we achieved”
