The Effectiveness Of Happy People

Something we may so often take for granted, may turn out to be one of the most important things of all.

The way one carries themselves is such an important aspect for so many reasons. Someone's mood can determine so much, not only for the person in question, but for others around them as well.

Have you ever been around someone that was in a good mood or been around a genuinely joyful person and found yourself automatically put in a better mood?

Often times, when around someone happy, it provokes happiness among those around them.

Honestly, happiness is contagious. If you find yourself down or not in the best mood, I guarantee surrounding yourself with others that are in a good mood will make you feel better. Throughout the duration of the past year, surrounding myself with my friends immensely helped me get through the bumpy road. Their happy attitudes made the time spent with them so much more enjoyable, and helped me forget my troubles for a while. Sure, when you're upset a common desire is to just be alone and lay around, but often times just spending time with others that are just naturally there to spread good vibes is just what you need to look at things in a more bright light.

I think often times we tend to overlook the value of happiness and those that just naturally possess this quality. Anyone that can cheer another person up just by the effectiveness of their mood is a very special and important individual.

Even when you're walking down the street or around campus, and a random person that you have never met before flashes you a completely unprecedented smile, it really does have the power to enhance your mood.

Being happy is important, and I believe more times than not it is taken for granted or underrated. When we, or someone else, is happy we do not tend to really appreciate the occurrence as much as we probably should. I mean, after all it is popularly stated: you never appreciate what you have until it's gone. But being genuinely happy is wonderful. Being happy is a blessing. And I really think we should view it as just that a lot more often; to understand that not everyone gets to feel happiness at the same time. So when we do, we should appreciate it as much as we can.

So for those who choose to spread this joyous emotion around deserve to be praised. I'm sure not everything is perfect in their life either, but the fact that they wake up every day and choose happiness deserves to be appreciated. You all greatly affect the lives of all of us, whether we choose to realize it or not.

I, for one, am remarkably thankful for those in my life and around me that have been there with their cheerful moods when I really did need it most. Choosing happiness, and especially choosing to display it for the whole world to see, takes strength. It takes a distinctive individual.

Don't take happiness, or those who so often display and spread it, for granted. If these significant people did not exist, the world would be a much more gloomy place. Appreciate those who go out of their way to emit joyous vibes to others. For some people, it really does make all the difference in the world.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
