1. Notice What’s Right
Some of us see the glass as being half-full, while others see the glass as half-empty. The next time you are caught in traffic, begin thinking how nice it is to have a few moments to reflect on the day, focus on a problem you have been trying to solve, or brainstorm on your next big idea. The next time you get in the slow line at the grocery store, take the opportunity to pick up a tabloid magazine and do some “guilty pleasure” reading. Take all that life throws out you...

The Quest for Positive Changes.
Today I watched a thought provoking show on netflix that describes where our "supermarket foods" come from, how they are grown and how they get there. I found this very disturbing. We really have no idea how food companies produce our foods, and what they use to grow them - or at least I don't.

How many of you stop to look at Nature daily? Perhaps it's a little family of ducklings swimming on a pond, or the crickets and...

Make Happiness a habit
"HAPPINESS IS A HABIT - CULTIVATE IT."
Very wise words from Elbert Hubbard.
I have a notepad on my fridge that has this quote on it. Every time I read it it inspires me.

For me personally, my relationships with other people affect my happiness quite a bit. I've made a new friend recently. She's a nice person, although she seems quite negative...
