When We Spread Happiness, We Find Our Own.

Hello beautiful people! I wanted to talk about the importance and ways of spreading happiness and finding our own through it. I want you to think of one person who you know volunteers their time a lot. Whether it's a family member, friend, teacher, or even celebrity, I want you to think about how they view this precious gift called life. Now, it doesn't have to be just volunteering! It could be someone who loves to wave and smile to people in the hallways or someone who went out of their way to help you with something you were having trouble with. Think about how you or other people affected felt. If I were you, I would have felt pretty good!

There are many ways to spread happiness. From sitting with the lonely kid at lunch to volunteering your time at a homeless shelter to traveling out of the country to help with a mission trip, the list can go on and on. And with each moment spent spreading happiness, we find our own. You've always heard the golden rule since preschool: Treat people the way you want to be treated. However, being adolescents and adults in today's world, those nine words can have a deeper meaning than just knowing how to act on the playground. If you treat others the way you want to be treated, the rewards will slowly but surely come back to you. Now, don't think you have to do some crazy action in order to spread happiness like spending money or such. It can even be as simple as telling someone "Hey, I care about you. Let me know if you need anything." A couple weeks ago, I decided I wanted to change for the better. So, I started that goal off by being more kinder to others. Well, one of my newer friends texted me later that night and thanked me for being the positive sunshine in her day and she asked if I could start mentoring her. And of course I said yes!!!

You are such a gift that is filled with compassion, love, and astonishing beauty. You were made for a time like this. Take a step back and ask yourself if how you're currently treating others is the way you want to live the rest of your life. If not, this is your chance to change it for good.
