I just read this article: Want a Happier, More Fulfilling Life? 75-Year Harvard Study Says Focus on This 1 Thing
After a 75 year Harvard study, they determined that the one thing that the happiest people have in common is that they concentrate on relationships. Quote:
The article goes on to explain that it's not just having a lot of relationships that is beneficial.... the benefit comes from "creating micro-experiences that cause an emotional uplifting in others." Here are some examples: Quote:
What have you done to create a positive experience for someone else? __________________ My business is to teach my aspirations to conform themselves to fact, not to try and make facts harmonise with my aspirations. T.H. Huxley |

I like highlighting people's strengths, in addition to comforting them. I like people to know that they are appreciated and belonged.

I try to thank people as much as possible. I try to offer kind words of encouragement to someone every day.

I try to do random acts of kindness every day - from happy little notes in my husband's lunch to letting strangers ahead of me in line.

I like to make my man feel special every chance I get so he knows how much I love him and respect him. Respect is important in a relationship for both but men appreciate it more I believe.
