Discovering Happiness

Everyone is looking for happiness, but what is the secret to happiness? IN his book "Stumbling Upon Happiness", Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert did extensive research into what truly makes people happy. Though family, friends, achievements, security, and nice house and car did seem to make people happy, the biggest happiness cam from Giving To Others.


This may surprise you. Why not test it out for yourself. When you 'pay it forward" and "live to Give" the surprise gift is the joy you will receive.








Look for opportunities to give to others today. Here are some ideas: 

  • Give by teaching and sharing your knowledge
  • Offer to share a task
  • Offer encouragement
  • Give someone a compliment
  • Help someone who needs assistance
  • Practice being really present when someone is talking to you
  • Fully accept someone without trying to improve or change them
  • Give away stuff you don't need to charity
  • Give someone a hug and a smile!
