The Habits of Supremely Happy People

This article had good advice, and I wanted to share!  In short, give back to others, practice gratitude, connect on a deeper level with others, and try to be happy.  I have been doing a lot of reading on the subject lately, and I'm convinced that the key to happiness is to learn to appreciate what you have and look outside of yourself.  My new focus has been to think about what I can give to the world and to put on the back burner what I want from the world for myself--sort of a variant of JFK's famous quote: Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.  If we apply that concept more broadly to what we have the ability to give the world, then I think we are on the right track to feeling more fulfilled and also to making the world a better place for everyone.  Maybe then, to quote another truism, a rising tide will lift all boats, and we will also be lifted personally.
