A blog is an interesting concept. Your writing about things you hope others will read, be interested in, and can relate to. Sometimes it's hard to imagine you can write anything that someone could relate to, but then you think - out of millions of people there has to be at least one that thinks similar to me. With 7 billion people in the world it would seem that finding someone with similar traits would be plausible.
Think then to that same 7 billion people, with so many people how can I possibly write or do something that someone hasn't done before? How can I make a big difference or even a small one in the midst of so many others who are more educated, beautiful, etc than I am?
It can be enough to discourage anyone and sabotage any positive thinking you may have attempted to generate in the moments before all this new found knowledge popped into your thoughts.
Maybe everyone in the world won't know your name, but is it really important that everyone does? Or is it more important that everyone that you meet in your daily life has a positive impression of who you are and what you stand for?
Positivity takes time for some, me included. I am not what you would consider a happy-go-lucky person, but that doesn't mean that my happiness is any less genuine, it just means I had to fight harder for it.
My challenge to begin on this happiness path is to smile. That's it. Choose someone, anyone, and smile at them. My special smiling center is the post office. Everyone is genuinely polite there and I found that it was an easy place too start. When someone holds the door open - smile! It shouldn't be hard - someone was being thoughtful to you! Start small and smile!
Here is the start of how happiness happened to me -
