Shanshine On!  Start Having Action Now, Start Having Infinite New 3nergy!

GO for GOLD! G.O.L.D. = Go Out, Laugh and Dance! Accept all reasonable invitations today! (^.^)

By accepting all reasonable invitations, we are sending out positive affirmations.  This is an exercise in affirming the positive!  Always look to the good side of things.  Everything will turn out well eventually.  It is a matter of perspective.  We can choose to look at the glass half empty or half full.  Which do you choose?

Go for GOLD!

Let’s count down to the International Happiness Day on 10 July!  Happiness should not only be experienced on one day, but every day of our lives!  Happiness is for everyone.

Starting from today, I will post one or two actions for us to develop, and/or sustain our Happiness quotient.  Keep it fun, simple and positive!!!

Shanshine smiles and cari saluti!

“Being YOU is the best gift you can give to yourself.” – Yip Pei Shan

Resilience (n.d.) is defined as an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change.  To quantify and qualify, the adversity quotient (AQ) is the science of human resilience.

Change is the only constant. - Heraclitus

This is one of my favourite quotes from this famous Greek Philosopher known for his change universal theory. Change and resilience are closely interwined.  Everyone experiences change on an intimate basis.  Change may be good, bad, or neutral.  It is a state of difference, not of constance.

Life is full of constant changes. We experience changes in life stages (transitioning from womb to tomb), social, emotional, mental, physical, and lifestyles.

There is one interesting experience I still remember to this day. [Read more →]
