In honor of International Happiness Day, I have compiled a list of things that either reminds us of what happiness can be or what we can do to get to a state of happiness.
- People demonstrate what they are. We don’t pay attention to the signs.
- People are what they are, not what you want them to be.
- Life doesn’t happen to you. You have to play an active role in shaping it.
- You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. Identify the reason things are compelling you to do the things that you don’t want to do/that don’t make you happy.
- Sometimes you only realize someone’s worth when they are gone.
- Spending time with someone that doesn’t make you happy delays your happiness and theirs.
- You choose all that you allow in your life.
Thank you so much for sharing…VERY inspiring!!!!
My pleasure Frankie!!! Figured I’d keep it short, but sweet! Glad it inspired you! Thanks for your support, as usual. I really appreciate it! 😉
Here at my office not everyone is allowed to access blog sites so I copy pasted your post to an email and shared with my coworkers :). Nothing but positive feedback!!
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing my work! So glad to hear that it’s receiving positive feedback. Do you mind letting me know the gender breakdown of the coworkers? The reason I ask is because I am always curious to know what people respond to more and if there are things that men vs women prefer. Most of my readership are female. So, when I do have a captive male 🙂 I have to ask 🙂
I manage/work with 9 women! From an open minded male point of view I think this is great information. I am always trying to learn through others.
You are awesome! Thank you so much for providing me feedback, sharing your perspective and for sharing my work! I really appreciate it! I’m really thrilled to know that you enjoy reading my perspective!
What a very happy coincidence! I was just at Barnes & Nobles looking at all these happiness books 🙂 Love the list, much better than what B&N were selling 🙂
Aww so glad that you found it helpful at a moment when you were seeking it out 🙂 Thanks for the compliment! Thought I’d give us food for the soul today 🙂
Reblogged this on Finding The Will To Live.

Thanks sooo much for sharing my work! I really appreciate it!
Can’t tell you how many relationships I was in where I superimposed my ideal woman over who I was dating. Friction always came when the two images didn’t line up. #6 is so true. Can’t begin to tell you how much time I have wasted…
Howdy! This blog post could not be written any better! Going through this post reminds me of my previous roommate! He continually kept preaching about this. I will send this article to him. Fairly certain he’s going to have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much, Barry! I really appreciate your kind words. Let me know what your roommate thinks of the article!
I like looking through a post that will make men and women think. Also, many thanks for allowing for me to comment!
Thanks so much Carol! I really appreciate your kind words!
You are a very intelligent individual!

I wish I had a dime for every bad article I’ve read lately. I also wish other writers had your talent and style. Thank you.
Thanks so much Victor! I really appreciate your kind words!
