Bottle Your Happiness

Bottle Your Happiness
Me

Today I was driving to the gym and I played a new song I just purchased by Justin Timberlake, “Can’t Stop This Feeling”. If you have not heard this song recently I suggest downloading it right now. There are very few songs that I come across that make me genuinely happy when they start to play. I smiled the whole time while this song played through my speakers and sang along. I am sure the other drivers on Highway 7 enjoyed my air drumming expressive jazz hands.

The song ended and I was feeling great but then a few seconds later I decided to pick a new song. I love all the music in my phone but at the time I couldn’t find a song that was going to keep me in the state of happiness I was in after that JT song.

Then it occurred to me, why not just play it again?

There are no rules to how many times you can play a song. So I did it. I pressed replay and the sweet melody of the song came back and my mood was just as uplifted as the first time I heard it.

You should never settle for something less less than perfect. Do not settle for something that only makes you a little bit silly or goofy. Go full force and do everything that makes you happy to the absolute fullest.

There are no rules to how long you can be happy. Happiness has no limit so when you find that small thing that brings you joy, hold on it to and redo it again and again.

There is no such thing as too much of a good thing. Well maybe except French fries on your waist line but hey, your mouth is happy as hell when you shove those fries in your pie hole.

I suppose what I am trying to get at here is find your happiness and bottle it up. Never stop doing things that make you happy because it doesn’t fit the social norm you feel the need to fit yourself in.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
