LIVING IS SO BIG... THE RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS

“

Happiness is like a major ingredient in a recipe; in that; there's no substitute for it. It would be like making a batch of cookies and forgetting to put in the sugar; they just wouldn't taste right.

When you're full of joy; you want to help others experience it too. When you feel good; you're inspired to do good. Your own 'bliss' naturally flows outward from you and benefits others; just as you receive the positive emotions of others. Happiness connects you to others as you lift them up through sharing your joy; it's infectious.

When I figured out that my cheerful nature benefits others as well as me; I started to allow myself to act this way more often; making a conscious choice to create joy every day. Whenever I felt upset; I'd remind myself that joy is a far better, more powerful emotion, and I switched into feeling it. Then I would savor that feeling by appreciating and growing.
