My favourite Videos:

I absolutely love this lady, she is like my inspiration and who I want to be. From her, I learned that every morning when we wake up, this is what we should say to ourselves:

“This day, I choose to be happy, well and complete”.

I am thankful to get up. I am thankful to have running water in the toilet, and that I have soap and toothpaste. There are people in the world who don’t have any of those things. I am thankful for food, as there are people who don’t even know if they can get by with what they have. I am thankful for peace and health, peaceful health that is. I will meditate. Who can I help today?

Last and most importantly, don’t forget to watch cartoons. Cartoons always have end and something good happens at the end and is likely to leave you feeling happy.

SoulPancake – The Happiness Test Perfect Score!

A Test on Gratitude:

I love how this video is saying that gratitude makes people happy but expressing them to people make us even happier. I have to say it is very true because the few times in my life that I really wrote down an important letter to someone about how they have impacted on my life has been some of the happiest moments in my life to look back on.
