My husband shared a quote by Willie Nelson with me today and he told me he did that because he thought the people who read my newsletter would really like it. I read the quote and thought to myself, “Willie Nelson totally gets it! He’s in his eighties still rocking out and looking great.” I decided to do some research and read some other positive quotes by people who are successful, happy and fulfilled and I found the common ground for everyone was their ability to see the positive side of everything.
That’s the secret?
That’s one of the keys to happiness?
It’s really that simple?
Sounds crazy, but it’s true. It’s really that simple. It’s the glass is half full and full of the most delicious juice you have ever drank attitude that is the difference between happy people and not so happy people.
I had a dream last night. Someone asked me how I was so happy all the time and if I could give them my 3 sparkly keys of happiness. This is what I said….Sparkly Key #1– Do something that brings you joy everyday. It doesn’t matter if it’s doodling at your desk for a minute or taking a luxurious bubble bath or going to the beach and flying a kite. Make joy a priority like your life depends on it because if you want to have a happy life, it does.Sparkly Key #2– Have as much love in your life as possible. Love as in love for your partner. Love as in love for your family. Love as in love for your friends. Love as in love for yourself. Love as in love for the world. If you don’t feel like you are surrounded by fulfilling loving relationships go out and get them or make a switch in the relationships you currently have and bombard them with love. Love for the person, love for yourself and love for the world. Make it a priority because if you want to have a happy life…it is.Sparkly Key #3– Be grateful for the right here right now. Your goals and all the things you want to achieve are soooo cool, but if you are focused on what you want to happen in the future you are going to miss all the amazing things happening right here right now. Make the right here right now a priority because if you want to live a happy life…it is….and so it is
