Happiness is a warm puppy Happiness is a steaming cuppa on a misty morn Happiness is a quick kiss from your son/daughter Happiness is a sudden windfall Happiness glows Happiness is a color HAPPINESS IS UP TO YOU�. Happiness is about discipline: A Secret many people are privy to: A little discipline, a bit of prioritizing � that�s why they stay happy! Happiness is facing up to your bogeys: Stand up and confront your fears, get them to back off and slink away- that�s one major struck for happiness. Happiness is genetic: You have your parents to thank for your �happiness potential� quotient. Experts have found a co-relation � cheerful parents and a happy childhood, invariably create happy adults. HAPPINESS IS LOOKING OUT� Happiness is celebration: Go on, celebrate all the highs of your life � you�ll be surprised at how many successes you�ve overlooked. You are way more successful than you imagined. Happiness is success. All-round success � a job well done is happiness. Happiness is an unexpected bouquet of flowers from your alpha male: In brief � that�s romance. The look, that touch, that feel, that spiritual connection. It�s the ultimate security blanket. HAPPINESS IS FROM WITHIN� Happiness is about choice, not chance: You can either choose to be happy. Or unhappy. And you�ll be surprised at how many people choose the latter. Happiness is honing your self-esteem: Think about it. Have you ever seen a happy person without a healthy sense of self? It�s about knowing your inherent place in the world. Happiness is a formula- and everyone has one! Get online and see the flood of �happiness agencies� who promise you instant happiness through their unique, five-step formula � at a price. Don�t bother them, though; you have your own unique happiness formula, don�t you? Happiness is self generating: You start out happy, then suddenly, the day seems to hold so very many things for you to continue feeling happy about. Voila, happiness is a silken hydra! Happiness is infectious: Sit a happy person down amongst a set of grumpies and watch the grumpiness dissolve in the face of unabashed joy. It�s difficult not to come away feeling light-hearted after an encounter with someone OD-ing on happiness. Happiness is a cupboard full of collectibles: One person�s idea of happiness is not the other�s. To many, a glass-fronted Chippendale cupboard chock-full of glassware, lacquer, porcelain, jade, whatever they have lovingly collected over the years, brings that electric jolt of happiness. Happiness is satisfaction: with what you have, with your lot in life. Some amount of ambition is good, but when it becomes overwhelming, a la Lady Macbeth, that�s when happiness flies out of the window. HAPINESS IS HERE AND NOW� Happiness is the essence of a woman: Women have this infinite capacity for happiness in the face of untold privation. Happiness is a mantra: And our Mantra is: A little of what you fancy does you good! HAPPINESS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH: Money: Believe it or not, study after study has shown that as long as you have enough of the stuff to cover your basic needs, the levels of happiness do not move up with more cash coming in. Beauty: Looks do bring you a smidgen more pleasure in life, but there�s a catch: This applies only to the young. Youth: Whoever said kids have it great? Although young aren�t really miserable, they�re feeling no more chipper than the rest of us. Satisfaction remains fairly stable through all ages. Brains: If you�re so smart, why aren�t you happy? Most studies indicate that braininess gives you only the tiniest boost in well being, probably because greater intelligence leads to greater expectations. The weather: People in humid and muggy Mumbai think that Bangaloreans are probably happier. But they�re wrong. Given a steady diet of sunny days, you take good weather for granted, so it looses most of it emotional punch. |
