And 幸 (happy) looks like 辛 (hard) with 1 more line.

Tap a kanji. It splits into 2 parts.
忙When you are busy, you lose your heart. Busy days need 1 deep breath.
幸Hard + 1 more line = happy. 1 more step, and hard may turn into happy.
優A person + worry = kind. Kind people understand other people's worries.
謝Words + shoot = thanks. Say your thanks in words, or it does not reach.
