“The question of ‘is there something simple we can do to be happier?’ yes let's start being grateful for the things we have rather than the things we do not have.
Go on I dare you to just write a list of ten things to be gratefully for every day, it take a mere 2 minutes. “It helps us express and enjoy, appreciate, be thankful and satisfied with a little effort. We all have it, and we need to use it to improve our quality of life.” It is surprising how your happiness returns and your smiles increase when you reread what you have written.
So come on just do it, I dare you. Add your list of ten things here in my comment box.

ReplyDelete"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." - http://www.wisdomquotes.com/topics/gratitude/
ReplyDeleteIn daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
