The Act Of Kindness
You see what happened there? A little act of kindness made people happy. While we spend hours, days, and weeks thinking about why we are unhappy in our lives, it literally takes five minutes to get back the moment of joy that’s been missing in our lives.
For each one of us, happiness is a state bound by the everyday things we do in life. We have conditioned our mind in a way that only certain things make us happy, because of which we lose out on the mundane moments that make us happy too, especially, making others happy - as clichéd as it sounds, it’s true.
Thank The People In Your Life
How many times do we say thank you to people? The guard who keeps the door open for you, the auto driver who is actually nice to you, the person who serves you coffee in your office, the woman who cleans your house every day without fail, your colleague who waits for you to have lunch together - we all have these people in our lives and yet we don’t thank them enough. Even in our families or with our dearest friends, there are times we take people for granted and forget the fact that if they weren’t always there, life wouldn’t be half as amazing as it is.
So you know what? Say thank you more often, smile more often, offer help to people more often. The year is ending and if you are having a particularly tough time, try out the experiment of gratitude because it will definitely make you happy.
