Happiness

"Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought. Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!"
Lawrence G. Lovasik

How many people have you made happy today. Since quantum physics says that we are all connected, it stands to reason that when you make another person happy, you are making yourself happier (assuming of course that making them happy does not directly conflict with your own goals). This is aside from the fact that when you make other people happier, they are more inclined to make you happy in return.

There are so many ways to make other people happy which do not require going against your own wishes. Maybe you can give them something that they really want but that you don't value too much yourself. Maybe you can spend some time with them. Maybe you can send a card or give them a phone call if you live a long way from them.

If you can't do a kind deed, then speak a kind word or even think a kind thought. Think positively of the person, and then tell them that. Everyone needs to be told that someone cares about them. That makes the person feel better about themselves, and when they do, they are more likely to spread the love and happiness around.

See yourself as a person who spreads happiness wherever you go. There is nothing any of us need more than happiness. The more we spread happiness, the more of it there will be to spread, and the better the world will be because we were there.
