day four There is an ancient Indian legend about a little-known tribe that was constantly at war with other Indian tribes. They abused their religion and their families, had no morals or feelings for others, laughed at any kind of order. The violent tribe seemed doomed to wipe themselves off the face of the earth. It troubled the old chief to see his tribe self-destruct, so he gathered a few of his trusted braves and held a council to discuss how they could save their tribe from themselves. The wise chief decided the only thing to do was to take the secret of happiness and success away from those who abused it. They would hide it where no one would ever find it again, but where? One brave suggested they bury the secret of happiness and success deep in the earth. But the chief said, “No, for man will dig deep down in the earth and find it.” Another said to sink the secret into the dark depths of the deepest ocean. But again the chief replied, “No, man will learn to dive into the dark depth of the ocean and will find it.” A third thought they should take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there. But again the chief said, “No, man will eventually climb even the highest of mountains and find it.” Finally the old chief had the answer: “Here is what we will do with the secret of happiness and success. We will hide it deep inside of man himself, for he will never think to look for it there.” And the chief was correct. To this day, according to that old Indian legend, people have been searching all over the earth – digging, diving and climbing – searching for something that they already possess within themselves. Lucky for you, you now know the secret. Mackay’s Moral: Happiness can be thought, taught and caught – but not bought.
