I used to own a book called "14,000 Things To Be Happy About," which -- as cheesy as it sounds -- made me happy. It's easy to feel down when something doesn't go our way or we don't achieve something, in doing so we forget about the simple things in life, so here are a few ways to seize the day.
Good health.
You may not have flawless skin or the perfect figure according to your preference, but you are gifted with good health and working organs. It's up to you to achieve the "perfect" look, till then you have nothing to be unhappy about.
Parents.
Regardless of what you do or what you say your parents will always have your back. They have passed all the stages of life and have the best advice to give. You're never too old to get a hug from Mom, or some advice from Dad.
Get an education.
In life people have to work for what they want, nothing is handed to you. We should be grateful for what we have and that we are fortunate enough to pursue our dreams.
Kindness of strangers.
We meet all sorts of people in this life time; some stay for the long haul, and some are gone in a blink of an eye. Whoever the individual may be, they all teach us something important, many of them leave part of their personality behind, in doing so we should never take a persons kindness for granted.
Ice cream.
It's never too early or late to indulge in our favorite ice cream. This particular food makes me forget about all my problems in a second.
