A man said to Lord Buddha "I want happiness", Lord Buddha said first remove "I" that's ego. Then remove "want" that's desire. See now you are left with only Happiness. 

Happiness is such a beautiful thing, some people strive for so many things in this life and we forget to realize that happiness is the ultimate goal. 

Music is happiness, holding hands is happiness, it's seeing the smile on someones face after you make their day. Happiness makes the world a better place. If you were walking in a random hallway and someone gave you a mean look i'm sure some of you would brush it off, but others would take it to heart and i happen to be one of them. I like to radiate love and happiness everywhere i go because if I'm walking through a hallways and i smile at someone, their smile makes my day that much better.

Of course everyone has their bad days where they don't want to be happy every minute, and some people want to punch that person smiling all the time, but you can't let bad days get the best of you, you can't get bitter you need to get better. You need to better your life. I'm a genuinely happy person.. ALL the time, and i feel like it's contagious and i love that because even if i just make one person smile, i know it only starts with one. I leave my roommates cute notes with quotes that will inspire them and make them happy because everyone needs a little boost to get their day going, or if they see it in the afternoon or before bed they still get to smile. I hid some also so whenever they find it it'll be meant to be for them because i believe it'll be on a bad day, they'll find the note and be able to be happy even if its just for a moment. 

Little things in this life are so beautiful because they go so unnoticed. And with something so simple as a smile to the person next to you, you have no idea how much it could impact them.

If you're having a bad day, do the things that make you happy! Listen to music, write, read, play video games, call your mom, workout, do anything that will turn your day around. When i'm feeling down i like to write and call my mom because she always knows just what to say, even if i just hear her voice and know she's okay. We need to remember that family is forever. 

Wake up, read a quote, look in the mirror, smile and start your day positive so that you continue to radiate that positivity through the people around you. Comment with something that happened in your day that made you smile and i'll feature you in my next post. Just know that some people out there are going through more than we'll ever know and a smile can even save a life.

"Happiness is contagious, and so is negativity, surround yourself with people that change your life for the better, a little smile goes a long way"
