I want people to be happy, so, you are included. It doesn’t matter who you are, I want to see you happy!

Most of people ask me why do I want to see people happy, what do I gain with that and how do I know people aren’t happy already? I want to see people happy because it fulfils my soul and every little piece of my heart. I gain happiness, is the answer to the 2nd question. And I know people aren’t happy because of the way they act every day.

So, let me ask you, are you happy?

Now you must be thinking if I am happy, right? I could be, if you were!

There are too many “formulas” to achieve happiness, but none seem to work effectively. I’ll give you mine. It’s simple and it’s written all over my blog:

HAPPINESS = NOW + THE BEST OF YOU

Do you want to be happy?

I am sure you want so the right moment is Now. No matter where you are or with whom, always give your best all the time. If you act like this, you will have no regrets, but the most important is that you will end up incentivising others doing the same.

How, you ask?

Through your behaviour! They will imitate your actions almost instinctively. You don’t believe me? Then read this: when you say good morning to someone, they answer you almost for sure, but when you say it smiling, the person will answer you smiling too. If someone is angry and you yell at them, they will get worse, but if you gently approach and hear them, they will get better and calm down. Am I wrong?

By making others happy, you will be happy, at the highest level. Trust me, just once and try to do it. If it doesn’t work you can stop, although to stop is against the happiness’ rule. And the rule is to give the best of you now; not yesterday, not tomorrow, but now! And we are living in the Now forever. Our past influenced our present, but we can’t do anything about our past. The future is tomorrow, yet we can’t change it or live it today! Tomorrow, the today will be the past; it depends on you whether it will be better or worse. Time does not wait for you; tomorrow may be too late. Do you understand me? If not, please read the story below. You will only lose a minute; nevertheless it won’t be a wasted time.

The old man

One day I went to a small Bomboniere. Whilst I was waiting for my turn to pay, noticed that the person who was selling was an old man, with a very tired voice. When my turn came, he started speaking about life. Lastly, he asked me three questions:

1st What is the most important moment of your life?

2nd Who is the most important person in your life?

3rd What do you have to do to him/her at this precise moment? 

A week passed and I got these three questions in my head, then I decided to return to decipher the answers. When I got to the Bomboniere, it was told me that the old man had died, but had left me a small note. With the heavy heart, I opened it and, for my surprise, it had the answers. My tears started running down my face... while I was reading.

•The most important moment of your life is now!

•The most important person in your life is the one that is living the moment with you.

•And all you have to do to him/her is to make them happy!

Nobody gains anything with someone's unhappiness; and the ones who rejoice with it are miserable creatures: the poorest beings! So, can you do me the favour of making me happy, starting by your happiness?
