Spring is in the air!
Yesterday, Spring started!
And, although it is quite cold in Amsterdam, I want you all to be ready: this year's will be awesome!
Smile at life, try to take the best out of every situation no matter how tough it seems to be... and we all know sometimes is really hard ... but I think that when you make a real effort to spread the good, it will be "magically" returned to you :-)
As Gretchen Rubin nicely finds it here:
"(...) If you have plenty of fun in your life – if you make time to see friends, to learn about things that interest you, to do the things you enjoy, like reading or going to movies or hiking – you have a higher store of patience and tolerance.
On the other hand, when you don’t have much fun in your life, it’s easy to become preoccupied with the aggravations and frustrations. There’s nothing to distract you from your bad feelings.
It may seem selfish to focus on having more fun and happiness. But as I’ve seen dramatically proven in my own life this year, by working to be happier myself (and happiness takes a surprising amount of work), I’m far better able to make other people happier.
I’m less crabby. I laugh more easily. I find it easier to go out of my way to help other people. I’m less resentful, judgmental, and insecure.
And I don’t get as annoyed by little things (...)"
So get out there and start spreading some positive energy people! ;-)
