our garden

Your life is your garden, your thoughts are the seeds.  If your life isn't awesome, you've been watering the weeds.--Terry Prince

This quote reminds me that we are responsible for our own happiness. We can't always control our circumstances, but it is always up to us to control what we think about those circumstances. I can't say positive thinking is always easy, but that is what we need to do to see our garden thrive while tolerating or removing the weeds.  May your garden grow!

happy

If you like documentaries, check out “happy.”  It really made me feel good, and you can never get too much of that.

The most important thing I took away from it is that the happiest people reach for intrinsic versus extrinsic goals.

Extrinsic goals – money, image, status

Intrinsic goals – personal growth, relationships, desire to help/be a part of a community

The easiest thing we can do to increase our happiness is to increase physical activity and variety in our lives. Simple ideas. Give them a try! Wishing you lots of happiness!
