~Simple word... yet a powerful meaning~

I'm tired of feeling "neutral or sad" as if the world around me is numbing me (all the hate, war, status, egos, materialism, suffering.... people). We talk as if it's an accident that's causing all this, yet we forget to see our own relection in the mirror... it's not an outside source causing all this pain, it's US... the people!

Let's change that... starts with U!

PAUSE.... take a DEEP breath... SMILE!

Life is just too short, you'll miss out on it's beauty with just a blink of an eye!

The Science of Happiness

To psychological researchers, happiness is life experience marked by a preponderance of positive emotion. Feelings of happiness and thoughts of satisfaction with life [1] are two prime components of subjective well-being (SWB).
