What is Happiness?

Announcements 
We will be kicking off our new year with a focus on service work. If you live in the area and wish to join us for service oriented projects throughout the year, please join http://www.meetup.com/Volunteer-South-Florida/ Our next event, helping out at Flamingo Festival, will take place on January 25th. For more events, please check out the events page.

Starting in February there will be a weekly audio meditation and teaching available for a $5 donation. A portion of the donation will go towards a different charity organization each week. Funds raised and donated will be tracked on our giving back page.

Daily Reflections
Many philosophers, theologians, psychologists, scientists, politicians, journalists, and self-help gurus have tried to answer the question what is happiness? Gandhi thought that happiness occurs when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony. Abraham Lincoln believed that people who made up their minds to be happy were happy. What makes you happy? Is it a relationship, tasty food, money, service, etc? Are you doing what makes you happy? If not, why?
