Quote of the Day: Gratitude

Quote of the Day: Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and happiness inside. No matter what is going on outside of us, there's always something we could be grateful for. - Barry Neil Kaufman


Before the end of a hectic day, take 10 minutes of quiet moment just before you sleep to reflect upon your day, so you can appreciate everything that has happened around you.  By doing so over time, you'll realize you would have more special days than having just lived for another day.

Character of the Day: Happy Feet 2

Just watched Happy Feet 2 and the little penguins are sooo cute, especially Mumble's son Erik.  Here are a few of my favourite quotes from the movie, which I think is just the right attitude that we need to have to overcome the many challenges that we may encounter over time.

“If you want it, you must will it. If you will it, it will be yours” - Rinaldo

Quote of the Day: Happy town

From sendscraps.com

Quote of the Day: Try to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment. - Sydney Smith

I think this is a great thing to do and should set it as part of your new year's resolution!  It can be something really basic such as saying good morning to people around you, starting from your family, neighbours, schoolmates, colleagues.  Being greeted with a good morning and big smile definitely sets my day off on the right note :) 

I think this is a particular good and useful thing to do when you are going through a rough / down time.  To make someone happy, you would first have to adjust your mindset to think positively, and this would help steer your thoughts away from negativity.  Our minds are closely connected with our emotions.  When we are feeling down, all the bad things would seem to happen at the same time, but that is because we would tend to just notice things that connected to our state of mind.  This negativity would just continue to grow and spiral downwards.  By tasking yourself to make at least one person happy every day, it would help to shift your focus from the negative thoughts and make your day just a little brighter and happier.

Quote of the Day: Happy vitamin

Quote of the day: The best vitamin to be a happy person is B1.

Really like this... such a simple and cute little quote :) 

On a side note, want to know what does the actual vitamin B1 mean to your body? Well here are its 3 core functions:  

• Maintain your energy supplies
• Coordinate the activity of nerves and muscles
• Support proper heart function

Here are also some foods that is rich in vitamin B1! Asparagus, mushrooms, spinach, flaxseeds, tuna, green peas and brussel sprouts...

Quote of the Day: Confidence

Quote of the Day: Confidence comes not from always being right but not fearing to be wrong.

Like this quote.  As I read it, it made me pause and think about it.  In many ways, people have a tendency to want to do the right thing to please people around them, to make them feel good about themselves. However by doing so, people would tend to just follow the norm and not think and act out of the box.  To me, I think it really does take some guts to venture into an unknown territory which you think should be the better way of doing things, and not be afraid of rejection or failure.  Act upon what you believe in and not just blindly following the social norm by what is believed to be the right thing to do would be a true person with confidence :)

Quote of the Day: Happy with imperfections

Quote of the Day: Being happy doesn't mean you're perfect. It just means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. - K.B Indiana (age 14)

Wow.. Can't believe this came from a 14 year old.  No one is perfect and I do think it's so important to accept your imperfections and be proud of who you are to live a happy life.  I'm not saying you should not strive to become a better person, but you should definitely start off from a positive ground ;) 

Quote of the Day: Simplicity

Quote of the Day: The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life. - Euripides

Love this quote.  As we live in such a buzzling and materialistic world, it is so easy to overlook all the good things that happen around us.  If you just stop and look around, you can always find something that would put a smile on your face, and your day will instantly be a better one :) It's real easy!  It can be as simple as smiling at a baby while you're waiting at the zebra crossing and the baby gives you an innocent and curious smile in return.
