Financially, Happiness pays. The happy salesman or saleswoman is more persuasive. The happy person gets and keeps more friends, who will like to help him, if only because his Happiness helps them. James Coates says: “_Smile at your business, and it will smile back. Follow the light of that smile._” Therefore, keep happy. Intellectually, Happiness helps us to see with surer clearness and foresight. Happiness helps us to solve our problems rightly. Happiness gives us more understanding and more intuition. Happiness makes us more receptive to the best ideas. Happiness puts us in better perspective. Happiness, once again, increases our mental energy, endurance, ease, and effectiveness. These quotations from C. D. Larson are excellent. He says:-- “_Just be glad, and you always will be glad. You will have better reasons to be glad. You will have more and more things to make you glad._ “_When you are tempted to feel discouraged or disappointed, be glad instead. Just be glad, and your fate will change. Know that you can be glad, say that you will, and stand uncompromisingly upon your resolve. When things are not to your liking, be glad nevertheless, for the glad heart can cause all things to be as we wish them to be. When things do not give you pleasure, proceed instead to create pleasure in your own heart and soul._ “_It is the law that all good things will sooner or later come and be where the greatest happiness is to be found. Therefore, be happiness in yourself, regardless of times, seasons, or circumstances._ “_It is the man who blends rejoicing with his work who does the best work. It is profitable in every way to learn to be glad._ “_The happier you are over what has come to you, the more and the more will come to you in the future. The glad heart and the cheerful soul always make things better._ “_Give gladness to your mind, and you give clearness to your mind; and a clear mind can see how to evolve better plans._” In the moral and ethical and spiritual, as in the intellectual and financial and social spheres, Happiness is a precious and integral factor in success and progress. We might almost say that Happiness includes the much-praised virtues of Courage, Persistence, and Poise, and goes far towards Self-Control and Self-Mastery. Therefore, keep happy. It is kind to others to keep happy. Happiness tends to Forgiveness (not of the usual perfunctory and “I-forgive-but-I-can’t-forget” type), Goodwill, and pleasant Warmth as of the sunshine. Therefore, keep happy. Happiness tends to the right sort of Youthfulness--the Youthfulness in which we have all the merits of “little children,” together with the wisdom of elders. Therefore, keep happy. Happiness makes our life longer--not like the life of an aged person who may be a burden upon the earth, living in name only, and almost as a vampire lives, but a life of increasingly-useful length. Therefore, keep happy. For Happiness is non-selfish.
