Spread Happiness.

The way to find happiness, is to stop looking for it. Happiness comes to those who work for something else worth doing.

Happiness is a choice. No-one can make you happy. You choose via your outlook and mood to create either a positive/happy mood or focus on negative and create a sad/miserable mood. While it is fine to enjoy the company of another person, one should never derive their happiness from another person. The same applies in a sense to being alone/being in relationship...this osho quote says much of what I would write...

"I love your enthusiasm and joyfulness," a former lover Gregg texted today.

I was born an ebullient optimist. I don't work on feeling happy. I just am.

I do what makes me feel happy:

1. Volunteer helping people in need. Since 2006, I have volunteered as a college mentor at the high school.

2. Have fun every day.

3. Exercise- running, hiking, weightlifting, stretching and yoga.

4. Surround myself with positive people.

5. Read good books. Join book clubs.

6. Cook healthy food. Have a healthy diet.

7. Avoid alcohol. Don't waste time with video games, watching TV or porn.

8. Choose comfortable, quality clothes. I aim for simple elegance. Never wear high heels.

9. Feel grateful.

10. Focus on the positive.

11. Enjoy conversation and laughter.

A healthy lifestyle gets results.

I don't believe that one can "work on happiness" per se. To find happiness, one builds relationships that satisf, tries to accomplish things that matter, and does things tha one enjoys.
