“Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
Feeling positive and hopeful today.
Happiness and positivity can be found in the small things of a regular day. And you don’t have to look far.
- Notice the environment around you, be mindful – see how trees are budding – a sign of a new beginning, hear the song of a bird on a nearby tree branch, announcing better days to come, notice what a gentle breeze feels like on your skin and hair, the grass is green – have you noticed?
“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” — Albert Einstein
- Feel good by doing good – you can’t beat that sense of fulfillment after extending a helping hand to someone, whether it’s letting someone go in front of you in a queue, helping your neighbour bring groceries in, giving a word of encouragement to an elderly friend or relative who is unsure about the world right now and where they belong.
“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.” — Oscar Wilde
- Pay someone a compliment – even if that someone is yourself!
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”—Ralph Waldo Emerson
- Slow down – you’re moving too fast!
“Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going too fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.”― Eddie Cantor
