How to Get Yourself ‘Infected’ with Happiness
Reader Comments
You could always make someone ELSE happy...
Just an idea, but if anyone has the funds available, there was this adorable cocker spaniel dog that was brought to my workplace location last weekend, but one eye was completely missing. He was brought by PAWS Chicago for a doggie adoption day, and although they obviously have limited funding, if adopted, the adopting family (or individual) could easily pay to get the cute little dog a prosthetic glass eye.
Some people who saw the dog started crying, because they wanted to adopt another homeless pup, but already had two to take care of as it was.
It's a tough economy. Can anyone make a little pup happy by kicking in a donation to get the little fella a prosthetic eye?
If so, contact PAWS Chicago (I'm not affiliated with them, but it just bugs me that no one adopted that little pup, and it is probably because he wasn't as cosmetically cute as a dog with two healthy eyes).
Imagine how happy some affluent family might be if they helped to either adopt an adorable cocker spaniel or to help with the cost of a glass eye to make him more easily adoptable.
Bet that would make someone feel all warm and fuzzy, eh?
Again, it's PAWS Chicago, and it's a white cocker spaniel that was brought to a PAWS Chicago Adoption Day at a Chicago area department store.
A very good and worthy cause for anyone wanting to make a difference (hint hint).
Half Way Home For Some
This is okay but what about the REST of the world. Where do broken people go or do? When no family,friends,neighbors, spouse are in your life. OMG if you have these why would you be depressed in the first place. Even when you put the best attitude/smile on NOBODY cares. Gossip spreads and nothing changes or worse. So the little seconds of happiness are scarred by hours of crying! Great now I have been divorced for 9yrs kids almost grown and never seen me positive or happy for any length of time. Down stays down.Or you get knocked back down.

Bunnies are the way to go. Definitely.
Get a glimpse of something incredibly cute, like a little wild rabbit poking a twitchy little nose around the yard as he looks for the perfect patch of clover to nibble.
Instant smile.

Moti Weisbrot - Lessons on Lifetime Happiness
Happiness is a religion . Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
First thing in order to be happy is to live the present .Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now !Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
The main problem with looking too frequently into the past is that we may turn around one day and find out the future has run out on us .Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
Don’t let the past or the ” future” steal your present . Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
Remember happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think.Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
Just try your best in order to be happy. Unhappiness starts with wanting to be happier.Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you make for the present .Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
Happiness is not a destination or a ” target” to reach . It is a method of life , to live daily .Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
Happiness is a religion, and should never be rationalized. Remeber it !Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
It is the paradox of life that the way to miss pleasure is to seek it first.Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
The happiness desire is never extinguished in the heart of man.Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
Happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment, but soon flits away.Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
Real deep happiness comes from your own inside. Nobody can give it to you.Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
Happiness is not a matter of events; it depends upon the tides of the mind.Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
To fill and live the minute and the hour and the day , that is happiness.Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales … The state of your Happiness is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind . Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
Enjoy the little things.Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
One day you will look back and realize they were the big things. Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you already have .Moti weisbrot - מוטי ויסברוט
Daily happiness
AI completely agree that happiness, and just a generally positive outlook on life, can be contageous. As a big believer in self-fulfilling prophecies, I started taking a new outlook on life about 18 months ago, turning the old addage that you should live each day as though it's your last into a new approach: Live each day as though it is your first. Most people find themselves far more upbeat and motivated on their first day at a new job, in a new relationship, and of course, the first day of school. By focusing on a renewed spirit each day, I look optimistically into the days opportunities. Is this a little rose colored and blue sky? Sure, but it helps get through the periods where life seems to be bringing you down.

Always keep smiling
A smiling face can give you a lot. It not only makes you good looking but also good for your heart and general health. Our everyday life is getting more hectic. Our professional and social life many times create pressure on us but a healthy mind can only help you to get rid off the stressful situation. So be positive, take a deep breath and smile for a vigorous life.
