I agree with this list presented by ‘Marc and Angel.’ It is important to do your best in all things. Not only that but being satisfied with your best without worrying about others and comparing yourself to their standards. We are all different and if we work at a pace that is best for us we can work collectively at our bests and create something better! Choosing to be around the right people is significant. If we surround ourselves with positive energy we are more likely to exude the same. Focusing on what you have and not on what you haven’t is also a great point brought up by the authors. It can be depressing if we think about the things we don’t have. But if we can be grateful for what we do have we can be happy. A good attitude is crucial to our happiness because if we believe we can accomplish tasks, no matter how difficult, it makes life easier.
After a tough moment of the day, nothing is more rejuvenating than a nice smile. Such a simple gesture, but with so much power and umph! We also have to take care of our bodies. A well rested body in good physical shape means less stress and fewer moments of feeling exhausted. This contributes greatly to our happiness. Choosing honesty and helping others is also great in obtaining happiness. There is just something about helping someone that makes me feel good. Just to know that I made a difference brings me joy! Daily we have conflicts within our relationships. It is best to try to work out disputes. If they are settled that is great!, but sometimes things do not always work out. In that case, we have to understand that its okay to move on. Who knows, moving on may be the best thing for your happiness. Finally, we must remember to embrace our futures! I like this post a lot and I’m going to forward it for others to read.
I began my e-portfolio about two weeks ago which makes me happy! I am having trouble figuring out what I would like to include but I have some ideas. Currently, I am still brainstorming about our end of the year STARS Lead Capstone Video Project but it is in the works. This week was spring break and it has been great! Although I spent most of it studying for midterms and reading I enjoyed it. The fact that I had a break from school was the best part; so studying didn’t ruin it at all! I am eager to return on Monday (March 12) so I can get this spring semester over and get ready for the summer. Over the summer, I will be taking a couple of courses. It is not THAT bad. I just look at it as something I have to do to be on track for my degree, so I’m ready for it!
As you go through this week think about this quote,
“Life itself is a journey after all, and what matters most is not what you are getting, but who you are becoming.”
