Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
(attribute to Bobby McFerrin's oh so famous song)
Happy Stones maken, vinden en volgen
Echt leuk, vorige week vond ik op straat een hele mooie steen. De steen was van Happy Stones Den Haag. En de steen kan je opzoeken op Facebook. Ik heb een foto gemaakt en laten weten waar de steen is op de Facebook groep aan de maker. En ik heb de steen buiten laten liggen, om te zien hoe lang het zou duren voordat de steen weer ging reizen.
Je kan dus een Happy Stone maken
Verstop de steen in jouw buurt en wacht tot iemand de steen vindt, dat kan gewoon thuis, af en toe Facebook checken.

Echt leuk, gister was de steen voor de deur weg. Ik heb zelf een slachtoffersteen gevonden, dus ga misschien als ik het durf de steen beschilderen. En ik heb een van mijn Filippijnse artiesten vriendinnen heel enthousiast gemaakt, en Happy Stones kennen ze nog niet op de Filippijnen! Dus... ze gaan ze ook op de Filippijnen maken. Pay it Forward toch? Ieders dagje een beetje blijer maken, grenzeloos.
In my life I've learned that true happiness comes from giving. Helping others along the way makes you evaluate who you are. I think that love is what we're all searching for. I haven't come across anyone who didn't become a better person through love.
Deze quote van Marla Gibbs is naar mijn mening het beeld van een Wereldsupporter.
Who are the happiest people in the world?
When I was living in the Philippines, to me the filipinos were the happiest. And I have traveled a lot. The filipinos themselves, also said to me, multiple times, different people, they were the happiest. Time for me to dive more into the topic Happiness.
My good friend Rebie Ramoso, who to me is an example who always thinks about others and helps others, using her own skills (design and creativity, she is an artist). She advised me to read this book, instead I watched the TED-talk by Shawn Achor.
The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor
