From my own limited experience, I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. This helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the ultimate source of success in life. Dalai Lama Xiv
About This Quote

People in the world are always concerned about their success and in their success they often take care of themselves. They do whatever it takes to make sure that they are successful in life. They have a great sense of self-determination, but they sometimes forget that around them are people around who need them just as much as they need them. People who are not happy will try to find ways to be happy even if that means making other people unhappy.

When you are happy you are not selfish at all. You have the ability to be compassionate, loving and selflessly take care of others around you. If you do not need someone else’s happiness you will help them when they need it the most.
