Finding Joy And Happiness In The Little Things

Recently I've been contemplating "the little things". It is so true that the smallest things are actually the biggest things. There are so many small things in each of our lives that we allow to affect us in big ways. And many of these things can be looked at in a negative way, such as a stranger frowning when you smiled, or spill on your favorite dress, or being late to an appointment. But why not turn these silly little things into positive things?

A friend once told me: "Find joy in a little innocent child falling asleep in your arms. Or instead of being upset that it's hot, find joy in the fact that the sun is shining when it could be cold and gloomy".  I have thought on this a lot... And how happy I am that it has affected my outlook in such a great way.

So why not be glad you smiled at the stranger even though they frowned because maybe you were the only person who has smiled at them and you made their day. Be glad you spilled on yourself and not the person sitting next to you. Be okay with the fact that you were late to your appointment because had you been on time, you might've been in the middle of the wreck that occurred on the street you take to get there.

Some things we shouldn't let bother us, and it can often be difficult to push them aside. If anything, have the most positive outlook in every situation. Find joy in the most simple and silly things. This positivity will ultimately help us become genuinely happy.

Now all of my days can be good ones. It doesn't mean that some will be more difficult than others, but I can make them the best possible.

So please, find joy in the little things and I promise that your world will become the prettiest of places.
