The real road of compassion, that is, giving, helping, assistance and community service, is a road that can be set and declared as your life's purpose
We all want to be happy. It's a desire as universal as our want for water, food, and fresh air.
“But happiness is a difficult thing to measure. It's a spectrum — not an absolute. There's a whole science behind our happiness levels, why they fluctuate, and what we can do to boost them.” Shaun Stenning said. “Ironically, too much time and thought spent in the pursuit of happiness has been found to actually decrease a person's overall happiness. So it's fortuitous that scientists have identified a countless number of small, conscious steps a person can take to elevate their mood with minimal effort.” According to Shaun. So what have you got to lose? Check out our list of 5 small things you can do to bring more joy into your life. The sooner you get started, the better you'll feel. 1. Talk to a Stranger Smile, or better yet, strike up a conversation with a stranger in line at Starbucks or during your morning commute. 2. Send Snail Mail to a Friend What's better than opening the mailbox to find an unexpected hand-written note from a friend, just because? This small act of love and friendship pays off two-fold, for you, too, get to experience a burst of joy. 3. Watch the Sun Rise It happens 365 days a year. But how often do you make a point of seeing it? Watching the sunrise is actually an ancient method of healing. 4. Volunteer In helping others, you also help yourself.
