The
Secret
One
day,
one
friend
asked
another,
"How
is
it
that
you
are
always
so
happy?
You
have
so
much
energy,
and
you
never
seem
to
get
down."
With
her
eyes
smiling,
she
said,
"I
know
the
Secret!"
"What
secret
is
that?"
To
which
she
replied,
"I'll
tell
you
all
about
it,
but
you
have
to
promise
to
share
the
Secret
with
others."
"The
Secret
is
this:
I
have
learned
there
is
little
I
can
do
in
my
life
that
will
make
me
truly
happy.
I
must
depend
on
God
to
make
me
happy
and
to
meet
my
needs.
When
a
need
arises
in
my
life,
I
have
to
trust
God
to
supply
according
to
HIS
riches.
I
have
learned
most
of
the
time
I
don't
need
half
of
what
I
think
I
do.
He
has
never
let
me
down.
Since
I
learned
that
'Secret',
I
am
happy."
The
questioner's
first
thought
was,
"That's
too
simple!"
But
upon
reflecting
over
her
own
life
she
recalled
how
she
thought
a
bigger
house
would
make
her
happy,
but
it
didn't!
She
thought
a
better
paying
job
would
make
her
happy,
but
it
hadn't.
When
did
she
realize
her
greatest
happiness?
Sitting
on
the
floor
with
her
grandchildren,
playing
games,
eating
pizza
or
reading
a
story,
a
simple
gift
from
God.
Now
you
know
it
too!
We
can't
depend
on
people
to
make
us
happy.
Only
GOD
in
His
infinite
wisdom
can
do
that.
Trust
HIM!
And
now
I
pass
the
Secret
on
to
you!
So
once
you
get
it,
what
will
you
do?
YOU
have
to
tell
someone
the
Secret,
too!
That
GOD
in
His
wisdom
will
take
care
of
YOU!
But
it's
not
really
a
secret...
We
just
have
to
believe
it
and
do
it...
Really
trust
God!
