Cheerfulness

next
Cheerfulness is the gift of sharing warmth and optimism. Sincere good cheer tends to engender happiness, energy, and responsiveness in those around us. This quality may spring from a spontaneous upwelling of joy and good will that cannot be contained; it may also refer to a deliberate choice to focus on what is good and right in the world. Cheerfulness allows us to move through challenges, assuring us we are capable and resourceful; it tends to increase both the quality and quantity of our years.
Cheerfulness
In the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Happiness is a skill,
emotional balance is a skill,
compassion and altruism are skills,
and like any skill they need to be developed.
That's what education is about.

Of course life is bizarre. The more bizarre it gets, the more interesting it is. The only way to approach it is to make yourself some popcorn and enjoy the show.
