The best feeling of happiness is when you’re happy because you’ve made someone else happy.
Maybe this is why it is so easy to feel sad when we see others sad? When we feel that sense of helplessness that I know many of us have felt over these past days. We want to reach out and somehow make the world happy. Maybe we can not be truly happy in our hearts if we are feeling helpless? But we cannot solve the worlds problems, we can however make each person whose life we touch just that fraction happier. A smile, an acknowledgement, a compliment, a helping hand. We can do that.
That is why today I am linking up with a link called Happy Diaries
Maybe I can make someone somewhere smile and feel happy by sharing this post, and that would make me happy, them happy and maybe they can pay it forward and make more people happy? Just maybe we can reach the other side of the world and share some happiness? I don’t know who wrote the quote above, but I like it!
Happiness is about liking things and doing more of the things we like.
Like running, I mean exercise is great for all those positive endorphins or whatever it is they say, yep exercise makes us happy, but safety first.
Ok so maybe I am not the best person to give advice on running, because yep running and I aren’t well acquainted. Maybe try acting cool instead, fake it till you make it, yep being cool makes you happy right?
OK so maybe being cool isn’t the best option for making us happy?
Babies are cute, babies make everyone smile! And when you tickle their toes they always give us the cutest giggle.
Oops I shouldn’t have mentioned toes! Of course they are piggies, silly me!
What about first love, yes that makes everyone smile.
See I told you so, just sooo cute!
And best friends, they are pretty great at making us feel better even we we are weird and totally embarrassing they have our back and we have theirs!
Well we have their back until they call us at 3am!
So what is the key to happiness? Is it money? Kids? Pets? I guess that all adds to our happiness, but happiness comes from within, it starts with us, we have the power to create the life we want, sometimes we have to search a little, some times a lot, but sometimes we just need to STOP, and realise it was within our reach all this time. Yep happiness is right inside us, it is having the guts to BE YOU!
So go ahead, pass it on, pay it forward, share some happiness with your family, friends, coworkers, neighbours, that hot guy on the train, or the girl who always looks so good that you want to hate her but she is just too nice! Share some happiness today and let’s watch it spread across the globe.
Thanks for joining me, love Mackenzie xx

Thank you so much. I love your instagram feed xx
Thank you very much for mentioning #FabFridayPost That makes me so happy! You are just the sweetest! The first quote goes a long way. I helped an old lady today. She said she was robbed while she was waiting at the bus stop last night. She lost everything and said she was on her way to the council to tell them of the incident, but she has no money for the bus fare. I gave her a fiver – she just bursted out crying! I gave her a hug before we departed. She was in luck as I don’t tend to carry cash with me on school run. Maybe she was just making the story up? But I don’t care – she is an old lady and she needed help in my eyes. This made me happy. 🙂 Xx
That’s beautiful, you are a lovely soul, and the world is brighter for having you in it xx
Hiya Mackenzie! Lovely post; that feeling of happiness and being content is the greatest feeling ever. For Me? Today? A sleep in, the whole family in bed for cuddles, sensational bacon and egg cups, and a long walk with a friend…and it’s not even lunchtime. xx
wow not even lunchtime, sounds like a great morning and a great day to come xx
This is so cute! That toe piggy picture will keep me going for days.
I just love that babies picture, its fabulous. I agree that happiness is something that starts within you. Thanks for sharing this and making me smile, Tracey xx #happydiaries
