Here are several quotes from Ellen White's writings on being happy: 1. "The harmonious, healthy action of all the powers of body and mind results in happiness; the more elevated and refined the powers, the more pure and unalloyed the happiness. An aimless life is a living death. The mind should dwell upon themes relating to our eternal interests. This will be conducive to health of body and mind." (Healthful Living, HL 31.1) 2. "But the greatest happiness experienced, will be in doing others good, in making others happy. Such happiness will be lasting." (Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 2, 2SG 261.1) 3. "If our happiness consists in making others happy, we are happy indeed. The true disciple will not live to gratify beloved self; but to Christ, and for the good of his little ones." (Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 2, 2SG 95.1) 4. "Remember that true joy can be found only in unselfish service." (Ministry of Healing, MH 362) 5. "A contented mind, a cheerful spirit, is health to the body and strength to the soul. Nothing is so fruitful a cause of disease as depression, gloominess, and sadness." (Testimonies for the Church 1:702, HL 232) 6. "Courage, hope, faith, sympathy, love, promote health and prolong life. A contented mind, a cheerful spirit, is health to the body and strength to the soul. 'A merry [rejoicing] heart doeth good like a medicine.' Proverbs 17:22." (Ministry of Healing, MH 241.3) These quotes emphasize that true happiness is found in unselfish service, a cheerful spirit, and living in harmony with God's principles. References: - White, E. G.
