How to Be Happy Without Any Reason?

It's so funny how people get alarmed when you say you're not doing good - well ok, that's not funny, but the funny thing is that they get equally alarmed when you say you're doing fabulous. What? Fabulous? What is there to be so happy about? It's as if people expected you to always reply "fine, thank you" and anything other than that is out of the ordinary.

Words are powerful. Saying that you feel fabulous makes you feel even more fabulous and makes the person you're talking to wonder: why? After the possible initial unease is gone, they might start wanting to understand why you feel so great and then, after they've figured out that it's nothing in particular, that it's just the little things in life that make you feel so great, they might believe that the same can be true for them.

It would really be quite cruel if we reserved the feeling of happiness to big occasions only: graduation, marriage, promotion. This would mean we would be happy only a few times in life! The true path to a great mood is the skill of appreciating the little things. We as human beings are so adaptive - we so easily get used to new inventions, luxuries, that we stop appreciating them. We are happy when we get a fancy phone as a gift but are we equally happy each time we use it?

The great majority of life is made of little things and it's also a sequence of moments. By appreciating the little things in the present we can find happiness inside ourselves and see how we spread it wherever we go.
