Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine – Anthony J. D’Angelo

Some, if not many people feel that Happiness is an ephemeral and ‘soft’ concept, especially in corporate terms.  It is not a ‘soft’ thing for softies, but something as essential as life itself.  Do you live to be Happy, or are you Happy to live?  Do you work to be Happy, or are you Happy to work?

Either way, Happiness is a choice we must make for ourselves.  And it is something all of us can have, will have, and must have.  Smile!  Are you shining yet?

Strengths aligned with today’s action include Curiosity/Interest in the World; Love of Learning; and Citizenship/Duty/Teamwork/Loyalty.

How did yesterday’s actions go for me?

As the mastermind behind these Happiness attraction actions, I realise there is so much scope for not only becoming a happier person, but also for becoming a better person!

In the Bible’s book of Mark 4:21-22, “… Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed?  Is it not to be set on a lampstand?  For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.”

These Happiness attraction actions are so good, I must share it with everyone, and not keep it under wraps.  Do you have something to share with people?  Never underestimate the power of what you have and how it can benefit others.  It is definitely more than what you think.

Focusing on the positive was a breeze for me yesterday.  This optimistic mindset did not come overnight.  It took 1.5 years of dedicated attention and efforts to see the fruits of optimism and Happiness.  Strive on to greater heights of optimism and have fun along the way!  Remember you are not alone.  There are countless others who are going the extra mile, including me!  Shanshine on!

Focus ONLY on the GOOD in everyone that you know (^.^)

If you can dream it, you can do it. – Walt Disney

I am a firm believer of focusing on the positive, especially in people and in getting the things that makes you happy.  Even if things do not turn out the way you expect them to, just by looking at things in an optimistic manner, we can feel better and reduce anxiety and stress.  Moreover, we can have a good laugh along the way!

Strengths aligned with today’s action include Perspective; and Hope/Optimism/Future-Mindedness.

Shanshine power!!!  It was a superb Shanday with my loved ones indoors.  I’m not a huge fan of rain, nevertheless, I bravely attempted going outdoors with my loved ones while it was raining, which I retired happily indoors after the rain did not subside!  Looking forward to more sweet Shandays!

I volunteered to photograph a couple of tourists while at an alternative rock performance!  They were as pleased as punch!  It was a wonderful Saturday basking in music and great company.

Volunteer your time, heart, mind and soul to someone who needs it (^.^)

Everyone should act up to the motto: Help Ever, Hurt Never. Every educated person should engage himself or herself in selfless service to society with humility and a pure heart. All academic distinctions or even observance of spiritual practices are of no use if there is no love in the heart. Love and compassion are inherent in every person. Each has to share this love with others. Failure to share one’s love is gross ingratitude to society, to which one owes everything. One should give one’s love freely to others and receive love in return. This is the deep significance of human life. – Sathya Sai Baba

Many times we do not realise how fortunate and blessed we are.  Take time to love yourself, and love someone who needs you today.

Strengths aligned with this action include Kindness and Generosity; and Citizenship/Duty/Teamwork/Loyalty.

How did yesterday’s actions go for me?

Being playful and courageous is one of the many facets in my personality.  My loved ones know that mischief is my middle name!  Yesterday, in the midst of supper with two good friends, I had a superb time playing with my tissue prata, which was drowning in condensed milk!  In yesteryears, I loved tweaking my late Grandfather’s hair that sprouted on his facial mole!  He used to wake up grumpily from his nap after my tweaking, and never got angry with me.  He is the best Grandfather ever!
