Happiness has a different meaning to different people. Many of us blame circumstances, family members, friends, co-workers, our boss or our neighbors for our unhappiness but we often fail to realize that we are the ones who create the ground rules for our happiness. Without a doubt others can affect our mood but true happiness is a learned mindset and the day-to-day obstacles that rattle our cage are merely miniature setbacks that should only temporarily affect our mood not our overall happiness. How do we learn to detach ourselves from the negative forces that plague our daily lives? I believe achieving optimal health, financial stability and inner serenity (by that I mean the peace of mind found through religion, meditation, yoga and things of that nature...) should be the foundation of our happiness.I don't want to offend anyone but I think we as women, often let our significant other dictate our level of happiness. Don't go through life blaming your misery on the man or woman in your life or on anyone for that matter. We all have choices and its often the choices we make that determine our level of happiness not the person we are with. So what's the answer? In my opinion, I think we should think long and hard about the choices we make in life and secondly, we need to make sure we get our daily dose of laughter no matter what. Now I'm laughing because I'm reminded of that Orbit chewing gum commercial where the British woman says 'NO MATTER WOT in her best English accent at the end of her little sales pitch!... Now you're laughing. See, laughter is contagious...lol.
Laughter is definitely food for the soul. My child-like sense of humor as seen me through many dull moments.
Try incorporating something that gives you enormous pleasure into your daily routine and show off your pearly whites!
