Life Lesson from Aunt Molly: Happiness

There is nothing that can substitute the gratification you have inside for each kind thing you do for someone... anyone...without intentions of praise or self benefit (this is KEY).

Your actions will always create reactions...whether it be large and influential, or very subtle and small. You can trigger a good feeling with just a smile. You do something nice, you see someone smile, laugh, cry (happy tears), whatever...the fact that you brought THAT feeling to the heart of another person is the most beautiful and pure joy you could find (do it...and keep it for yourself, don't share the moment with anyone...remember, it is KEY for it to really really work)

The secret to happiness: live your life like a light...always take the chance you get to brighten someone's day (even just a little)...because this world is not all about you :) its everyone supporting everyone (and not in a liberal kind of way...haha)

Thoughts that cross my mind often:

* smile at strangers
* be kind to the first person you see

You kids have a lifetime of chances to trigger good feelings in the world:) use them wisely and chose with consideration of all those around you.

My family is my foundation, and you babies mean so much to me too. Which brings us to the second part of this life lesson...sincere and simple gratitude for all that you each are blessed with :) the equation is as follows:

Helping others = Guaranteed good feelings

Gratitude = Guaranteed good feelings

Simple enough right :)
