Happiness is not Expensive

Posted by Sean on December 22, 2008

It will however take some effort and creativity.

Money does not buy you happiness, but it sure does make the journey a whole heck of a lot easier.

So what makes you happy? If it’s the finer things in life.. then maybe this is the wrong post to be reading.. Heh heh. Striaght Face

The key here being, find out what makes you happy. Is it your hobbies, is it your interests, is it friends & family, is it work? What ever it may be.. find it.. and then enhance it!

If your happiness is spending time with family and/or friends. Then start to schedule some events.. plan a couple outings. Make sure you keep in touch with what’s going on in their lives. Become involved.

If it’s your hobbies, make time for them. Schedule time for just you and your hobby at least 1-3 times per week.

The bottom line is, happiness is a state of mind, not a situational result. Choose your happiness, and choose to have more of those moments when you are your happiest.

Enjoy being happy. Because once you find your happiness, and can repeat the feeling and the flavor… it becomes an addicting habit! And like all other influences, your happiness will rub off onto those around you.. and before you know it.. your happy more often than not.

So how expensive is that?

Carpe Diem
