What makes us happy...

Yes! 


But what makes me happy?
Often times, we'll be taking a random survey, be asked this cliche question....
I don't know about you, but my mind goes blank. I have no idea what to say....I start thinking about moments where I vividly remember being very happy: when I fell in love, when I got into the university of my choice, when I got my first job, when I bought the 'dream' shoes...or random little moments like birthdays, Christmas, summer vacation...

Then I start thinking about what I could do to be happier. Graduate with honors? Do a Masters? Lose weight? Get married? Have children? Have a great job? Make more money? I'm sure all these things will make me very happy and will feel fulfilling, but apparently, they are not the real source of happiness....
Relationships with others are. Friends are.

• "Relationships with other people are what make us the happiest. Our connection to others is the foundation of humanity."says Nansook Park, PhD, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Rhode Island. Prevention

We are indeed social animals. We seem to be very sad when isolated from others, from those we love. 

So mingle people! Get out there, meet others, find out about their lives, and be even happier than you already are :)

"I've learned that people will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel"
