Smile and Enjoy the Journey to Your Success

We forgot that on our life journey there will be challenges and issues to resolve and how important it is to smile and laugh along the way.

What can we do on a daily basis to increase our happiness factor? Try new experiences and remind yourself to have some fun.

Many of you might be saying that fun tends to be expensive. There are so many ways to have some laughs and lots of them are free or very affordable.

There's a movie rental system called the Red Box available around the country where the movie rentals are only $1 a day. If you need to lighten up you can get a comedy for a $1 and enjoy 90 minutes to 2 hours of entertainment. Movies let you experience something other than your own personal situation and are excellent diversions.
One night after Halloween a few years ago I took a violet colored wig and dressed up to go play bingo. It was funny watching people stare at my violet hair and whisper. I laughed and had fun playing bingo.

In many neighborhoods they have built dog runs and you can really be entertained by the actions of a group of dogs that get together and have freedom to run and play. I've sat near the dog runs to watch the people observing their pets and to learn from the animals about just being carefree and having fun.

What can you do to smile and enjoy if you live in a place where the weather is not all that great? My recommendation would be to take a field trip to a local shopping mall for a cup of coffee and some interaction with people. I like window shopping and walking around the mall to see what people are buying and to look at the latest fashion trends.

I laughed when I talked to one of the retailers of jeans and asked if they had any sizes available to cover my whole backside, not just a portion of my rear end. I am surprised at how many people are willing to spend money to own something of the latest trend that makes them look horrible.
There's even a web site about happiness called http://www.theworldneedsmorehappy.com.
I spoke to a man who has been dealing with medical issues and asked him how he continues on every day with serious problems. Danny explained that he visits the children in the Cancer wards of the hospital and brings ice cream for them twice a wee. He smiles knowing he's helping these sick children to be happy and have some fun. He explained that he feels uplifted knowing he can participate in making others feel better.
