it’s unlikely you will be happy tomorrow.
The promotion, the new car, the vacation, and the exam result aren’t going to change much. Sure, they’ll give you that momentary burst of joy but not much more. If you’re waiting for happiness to “happen,” good luck.
Happiness isn’t too different from the exercise habit. It takes a bit of work, is a bit painful (imagine that), and requires you to make a commitment to being thankful for what you have. If you find yourself having difficulties with being thankful, spend a day at a home for the underprivileged and your issues will sort themselves out.
If you’re complaining about happiness sitting in your comfortable chair, staring into a computer screen, and scrolling down a facebook news feed – shame on you.
Go out there. Do something. Help someone. Play. Read. Run. Laugh. Love. And then repeat everyday.
There’s a reason they say “be” happy. “Be” is a verb.
