Le beurre d'érable, c'est comme l'insouciance fleurie de l'enfance en petit pot. Le bonheur extra tendre.
Mon Québec dans une valise.
Châtelaine, Mai 2011
I translate:
Maple butter is like a flowery carefreeness of childhood in a little jar. Happiness at it's best.
... therefore, I think!
Happiness!
For some it is just a fact of life, for others it always seems to be hard to find.
One day, a friend told me her thinking on the subject: "Do you want to be right, or you want to be happy?" It became mine.
Here are some tips to be happier ...
Be more appreciative:
Every single little sign of happiness helps. Learn to recognize and appreciate them for what they are.
Forgiveness:
Do not stay mad. Do not nurture anger. Do not go to bed pissed off.
Concentrate on the verb to be:
To be and to be alive. Not only breathing, but living.
Everything is moving too fast and by always running, we end up forgetting the essential: The euphoria of inertia. Learn to give yourselves time ... to do nothing. This is not losing your time, it is time well invested to think, dream, meditate, be.
Now:
Now time. Not dreaming of what it was, or what it could be; just breathe in your life now.
Breathe deeply.
Stop thinking too much, too much mental work ... all the time can be burdensome. Do not try to plan everything. Leave some room for unexpectedness.
Attitude:
See and recognize every little moments of happiness.
Happiness is a choice, not a goal.
As I read: Put on your pink glasses and start hunting for happiness.
Learn to say thank you:
You can say it, write it, show it, but do it!
Be there:
The more we give, the better we feel.
List your little moments of joy:
Write down, everyday, week or month, 3 things that you should be grateful for.
Now, go and be happy my friends.
