With a genuine keenness or readiness to serve others, one can attain happiness in any group or community, and the eagerness to serve others will endow you with the power and skill necessary for the required service. Nowadays, we tend to regard it as derogatory to serve, but there is great worth in service.
Doing good to others is not a duty. It is a joy, for it increases your own health and happiness.
Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.
-W. P. Kinsella
Hiding how you really feel and trying to make everyone happy doesn't make you nice, it just makes you a liar.
