We have no guarantee we'll be happy, we just hope that we will. We hope we'll overcome whatever problems confront us and if we lose hope we despair. Happiness corresponds with peace of mind and a key to that is warm-heartedness. Developing compassion brings courage and self-confidence; warm-heartedness and intelligence bring peace of mind.
The only thing that will bring happiness is affection and warmheartedness. This really brings inner strength and self-confidence, reduces fear, develops trust, and trust brings friendship. We are social animals, and cooperation is necessary for our survival, but cooperation is entirely based on trust. When there is trust, people are brought together—whole nations are brought together. When you have a more compassionate mind and cultivate warmheartedness, the whole atmosphere around you becomes more positive and friendlier.
We Can Change the World - His Holiness the Dalai Lama believes we have everything we need to make the 21st century a peaceful, compassionate century — and it starts with each one of us. Through education, awareness, and nurturing our inner peace and compassion, we can transform our families, our communities, and our world. Video originally recorded on April 18, 2012.

I use the words physical hygiene and emotional hygiene. We should pay equally important attention to the hygiene of our emotions. Physical hygiene keeps us physically fit — but full of anger, what use is that? Real hygiene is emotional: peaceful, compassionate emotion. That is the real inner hygiene.
