Happiness. We all aspire to feel more of it. Sometimes we think people are happier than us, then we compare ourselves to them and wonder what we can do to be as happy as they are. However, I believe we all have different things in life to be happy about.
Yet, we all have struggles in life that we have to deal with, some worse than others. I hate to be so cliché but we all get down from time to time and need a little pick-me-up. One thing I have to tell myself sometimes when I feel like everything is going wrong; there is always something in my life that isgoing right. Life is so much better when you constantly focus on the good things in it. The more we focus on the good things, the more we will find them. Here are a few good things to be happy about:
- The simple things in life are still free ... a baby’s laugh, a walk, the smell of a puppy.
- People still know how to give compliments and small gestures.
- You are alive.
- The warmth of the sun.
- Being unhappy doesn’t hurt anyone but you.
- You can afford food and food is good.
- There’s so many chances left you have to take.
- There’s such a thing to do as forgive, forget, and move on.
- There’s something you can do better than anyone
