The Small Things That Give You Huge Happiness In Life

Fannie Fern once said, “There are no little things. Little things are the hinges of the universe.” These lines mean much more than they actually appear. It so happens that we grow up, go to college, get a job, earn money and then die. However, amidst this race, we often forget how beautiful life is and how it means so much more than just owning luxuries.

Life is full of surprises, lots of them. All it takes to witness these surprises is to just stand back, detach yourself from everything else and just appreciate everything and everyone around you. When was the last time you stood by that beautiful rose garden that falls in the way of your work?

Life is about little things. It is about being content with what’s around. It is about being thankful. And because we tend to embrace life in all its beauty, we thought of making you a list of everything that you can do to just live life to the fullest. Spend a moment with this.

#1. Focus On Yourself

We live in a world cluttered with opinions. People always have a view on everything. So, for a moment, go away from all the chaos and just focus on yourself and the beautiful world around you. Just spend time with yourself.

#2. Relax

Take a day off from office. Don’t socialize much. Just tell everyone that you want to sleep. Relax in the comfort of your bed, sip your favorite beverage and just remain in bed.

#3. No News

If something is really important, it will reach you, no matter what. Just be away from things that don’t matter much. Ditch your phone if possible. Take a long walk down the street and talk to strangers in a café.

#4. Bike Rides

Bike rides are the best. JFK once said, “Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.” We couldn’t agree more on how true this is. Just imagine you, on your bike, going down the road with the chill breeze playing with your hair. Don’t you already feel rejuvenated?

#5. Talk To People

Call up a person you’ve not been in touch for a long time. Remember that girl you had a crush on in high school? Just ring her up and tell her what you feel. Nurture what is there and what could be there. Relationships, after all, are very important.

#6. Try Out New Things

The unfortunate part about the life we have is that it is short. So, get a kick start and do something that you always wanted to do. No matter how crazy the thing, remember that you only live once.

#7. Appreciate

A little act of kindness goes a long way. We all get ignorant of things and people and start taking them for granted. How about we just appreciate their presence in our lives and let them know how thankful we are for having them.

#8. Blow Bubbles

Childhood will always be the best part of your life. Go back in time. Head to the beach and just blow bubbles sitting there while you sip on your beer. Life isn’t that bad after all.

#9. Celebrate Your Achieved Goals

What? You just completed the number of steps you wished to in a week? What do you do next? Probably nothing. Why don’t you go out and celebrate this milestone? We often forget to savor the little things in life. Little things should be celebrated.

#10. Sing 

We all sing. While some may be very vocal about it, most of us are just confined to our bathrooms. Well, that’s not an issue. Sing all the day while running from one room to the other. Sing while you take a shower and sing while you cook your favorite food. Singing is good.

#11. Give Back To Society 

And finally, be responsible and give back to the society in any way you can. Volunteer for social service, make donations or do anything else which could hold some value in your society.
