Motivational Monday…Happiness Happens Day

Hi Kathy - along the same line with happiness is seeing the glass half full instead of the opposite.

Happiness comes from within. I believe it is a mental attitude. Also happiness is intertwined with our own personal moral code.  When we do nice things for others even as simple as opening a door, we create happiness whether it is acknowledged or not.

Just reading this post brought a smile to my face. 

So true about what makes one person happy would not be the right fit for someone else. I've been in that position many times.

I loved reading your post it helps to start off positive for the week. I love this:

~Try smiling! You’d be surprised at what a difference that can make

Hi Kathy,
I decided a long time ago happiness IS a choice... one I choose all day every day. That doesn't mean every day is perfect and full of joy but I do try to find the good and not focus on the negative. Finding the silver lining in dark clouds is a challenge I take seriously.  ☺️

Happy Monday and have a great week.

Kathy I agree, we have a lot to do with our own happiness.  Also there are people who it seems their happiness is being unhappy!!!

Ah, Bob Marley!  On a recent trip to the California coast, I listened to his song, "Don't worry Be happy!"

Hi Kathy,

Happiness is a state of mind.  I love your take on this subject.  Surround yourself with positivity and shed yourself of negativity.  I have worked very hard to do this.  But more importantly, I want to bring positivity to those I touch daily.  Whether in person or primarily on the phone, I like to have that positive flair in my voice.  Staying "up" is so important around others.

When feeling down, I find that doing for others brings me back to a more grounded place. Of course, waking with a smile can positively start the day, Kathy!

Kathy loved the post and the bantering back and forth,  yes waking up is a good thing, the older we get that even bring joy WOW I am still ALIVE:) now with that said, I have always believed that my  problems are small compared to other people's and today was a good example... printer issues... no big deal.... Diane complaining about the water hose leaking... no big deal.... FBI raiding a former President's home... Big Deal... Endre

Happiness than always have to be elaborate at all. It can be very simple that way

Endre Barath, Jr. I’m the same way about being happy just to be alive sometimes and everything else goes from there

I wake up every morning determined to be happy Kathy. I am successful 9 out of 10 times. I can live with those odds 🙂
