The Secrets of Happiness
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![youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbLEf4HR74E] Please let me know what you think the article and this TED talk.
