Happy Life Tip of the Week, Issue #121- Signs
July 20, 2011


Use happiness, joy and humor as armor against the slings and arrows of life.

A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.

Hugh Sidey


Hello Friends,

Hugh Sidey should know who has a pretty good grasp of life who does not. As a journalist, he covered US presidents from Eisenhower to Clinton. Not only do we count on presidents and other world leaders to have a good grasp of life for themselves, but to have a good grasp of what is important to us as well.

When it comes to important leadership qualities, happy people are not only more resilient personally; they are more likely to work for the common good. Happiness gives people an edge in any endeavor that requires working cooperatively with other people in a creative way. In this rapidly changing, global economy, happiness does indeed show a pretty good grasp of life.

Other signs of happiness and a good grasp of life include gratitude, optimism, valor, curiosity, a love of beauty, and a love and appreciation of other people.

If you are looking for ways to increase your happy thoughts and feelings, use these happy signs from Happy Life U. This collection of beautiful photographs and art work, combined with inspirational quotes, is a great way to remind yourself to focus on the positive.
