Either through helping others, nurturing our passions, or creating change in the society around us, it fuels a happiness that endures beyond fleeting pleasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dalai Lama has wisely said, \u201cHappiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At The Heritage School, North Campus, the best CBSE Co-ed School in Dehradun, we hold this belief at our core. We celebrate the richness of non-material wealth, joyful learning, meaningful relationships, and purposeful living. As a truly happy school, we strive to spread this happiness each day, to our students, our teachers, and the world beyond our classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a materialistic world, driven by possessions, it is easy to misinterpret comfort for contentment.However, joy is not bought; it is felt.
