Happiness
1.The first step toward living a happy life is to treat every other human with kindness. There are several steps after that, but I can't remember them right now.
2.We could all use a recipe for how to be happy. Mix this and this, stir with that, bake for 30 minutes. If some chef could come up with a 'happiness' main course, serve it over rice, charge big bucks, we'd line up to pay and eat. What a great thing to do- walk into a restaurant with your friends, maybe get a table with a view, and order up a big dish of happiness for everyone. Share the bill add a generous tip, and stroll out smiling.
How can we happy, really?
1. isn't the world so messed up that no one van ever be happy? How can anybody be lighthearted when children are dying from hunger, the polar ice caps are melting, and bombs are going off in market places? Plus thousand other terrible social problems. Add in a dozen personal issues, and being happy starts to look impossible.
2.But it's not. It's actually very, very possible. And believe it or not, there is kind of a recipe for happiness. But you have to gather the ingredients and do the cooking. Just reading a recipe isn't enough. If you want to enjoy tikka masala, pizza, burgers, or any other food, you have to do way more than read about them Same with happiness.
3.Connections are often the basis of lasting happiness. You want to connect with yourself - your spirit, emotions, intellect - your friends, and your family. You may want connections with people, with animals, or with the natural world. Connections are at the core of happiness.
