Habits of happy people:
Be grateful.
Look on the bright side.
Savor the moment.
Exercise.
Meditate.
Cultivate relationships.”
― Sonja Lyubomirsky
Abraham Lincoln said: Most folk are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Is it really that simple? I’m not sure. I know I feel blessed that my default system, that place I seem to always fall back to is one of optimism. I seem to naturally look on the bright side of things, and for that I am grateful.
But getting reminders about The Secret to Happiness is always welcome. That’s why I savored this article in The Huffington Post.
Please take the time to read the article, it is uplifting and a wonderful reminder. I especially like the idea of the cloak, an image I have used before in a different context, but lovely to have it in this context as well.
I want to close with a TED talk that I have actually used before, but it is one of my favorites. The Habits of Happiness by Matthieu Ricard. It is one of nine videos in a series on TED entitled What Makes Us Happy?
Enjoy!
Please let me know what you think the article and this TED talk. And as always thank you for taking the time to visit, I appreciate it.
