What Leads to Happiness? →
Happiness is a state of mind. In Buddhism there are four factors of fulfillment  : 1. Wealth 2. Worldly Satisfaction 3. Spirituality 4. Enlightenment which lay on the path to happiness. I find it interesting that to the leader of Buddhism the first two “material” sources of happiness play an important role. You could insert synonyms like success and personal growth here....

Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wonderful sight will vanish; every sweet word will fade, But do not be disheartened, The source they come from is eternal, growing, branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it. — Jelauddin Rumi
