In 1986, L. Ron Hubbard wrote a poem which is a guide to happiness.
"The Joy of Creating"
"Force yourself to smile and you’ll soon stop frowning.
"Force yourself to laugh and you’ll soon find something to laugh about.
"Wax* enthusiastic** and you’ll very soon feel so.
"A being causes his own feelings.
"The greatest joy there is in life is creating.
"Splurge on it!" — L. Ron Hubbard
(*wax: to increase in size, strength or intensity.)
(**enthusiastic: having or demonstrating enthusiasm.)
