Recipe for a Happy Life

Notice the little things. Close your eyes and feel. Run your body hard every so often. Make someone else smile. Drink lots of water. Cook your own food. Rest. Learn how to play with children - and dogs. (They can both teach you how to be a better person.) Explore your heart's desire, no matter what it is. Do good things for your neighbors. Eat ice cream. Spend time in nature. Bask in the sun. Let hurt feelings go. Love deeply. Tell the truth. Do work that matters to you whether it pays or not. Live within your means. Be completely transparent with someone. Dance. Seek out music that makes your heart sing. Use your voice. Say what's in your heart. Notice intuition. Plan backwards from your dreams to make them real. Find people who encourage and inspire you. Let yourself trust. Love yourself in a million little ways. Pay attention to your heart. Have faith in what it tells you. Stay curious.
