Really? Tell that to the clinically depressed, those suffering from debilitating anxiety, or those in agonising pain.
Romans 12:15-16
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Just a footnote there. Many schools of psychotherapy have patients make choices - that work towards their happiness.

“We do not draw people to Christ by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.” -Madeleine L’Engle-

“…stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot oftener, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along.”-- Robert J. Hastings
“To learn a language is to have one more window from which to look at the world.” - Chinese Proverb
“I will have nothing to do with a God who cares only occasionally. I need a God who is with us always, everywhere, in the deepest depths as well as the highest heights. It is when things go wrong, when good things do not happen, when our prayers seem to have been lost, that God is most present. We do not need the sheltering wings when things go smoothly. We are closest to God in the darkness, stumbling along blindly.” -Madeleine L’Engle-

"Who is eventually going to plug the incessant flow of the super abounding grace, mercy and love of God ? This flow like the sound of many waters is continually speaking grace, mercy, love and peace. It never dries up, it’s continually there. If you are still, you can hear it, it does no harm other than erode all your false beliefs, conceptions and assumptions about your Heavenly Father away when you hear it.
How possibly can there be a place of eternal torment, never mind one created by our Heavenly Father?
And his voice was like the sound of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory." -Paul Camps-
“Take someone who doesn’t keep score, who’s not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing, who has not the slightest interest even in his own personality: he’s free.”-- Rumi Jalalu’l-Din
Giving is receiving. The whole universe is a mirror, pure receiprocation. If you can bend your knees and hold the hands of someone in pain and sufferance and poverty, know that you have received from the universe an assurance of help of million hands when you need them. Give love, give inspiration, give forgiveness, give that which you expect to receive from God.
~~Bodhi Shuddhaanandaa
