Happiness is a Warm Gun

On MSN.com today, I read an article named Five Things Happy People Do. It was pretty interesting! Here is my take on the the five "secrets" of happy women.

  1. They find their most golden self. This means having a happy, peaceful, and satisfied soul. One should strive towards excellence based on her unique strengths, talents, and potentials.
  2. They design their lives to bring in joy. Recognizing what makes you happy is key to this step. Taking a short break from things that wear you down is so important! It requires a deliberate change on your part
  3. They avoid "if only" fantasies. Stop focusing on the one negative aspect of your life. Instead, focus on the positive things. Keep your life exciting!
  4. They put best friends first. According to studies, people find more pleasure in just hanging out with one or two best friends than in dashing around with acquaintences.
  5. They allow themselves to be happy. It's okay to be happy. Happy people are more effective at helping others, so if you want to change the world, you first need to be happy with yourself.

The article was really interesting, and you should probably read it for yourself! Have a great day! Happy Cinco de Mayo!
