Do I need to be happy to make others happy?

There is a proverb "You cannot give away anything unless you have it." However true this may be for other things, it is not true about giving away happiness.

Life may have given you more than your fair share of kicks and brickbats. Don't worry if you carry scars that may never go away.; As you go around your work, home, locality, as you interact with different people, don't be anxious about what the morrow may have in store for you. When darkness comes, light cannot be far behind. If you want happiness to come to you, just do your little bit to make others happy. You don't need a reservoir of happiness to give it to others. As you keep spreading happiness and light, you will keep getting more and more in your stock. Believe me, I speak from experience.
