Our mantra at Kapo Trading Company is about spreading the Aloha Spirit. But in order to do that, you need to start with yourself. It's much easier to spread the Aloha Spirit if you are happy.
So here are 10 things that can make you happy immediately, and certainly will help you spread the Aloha Spirit.
1. Life
It's easy to forget that the mere fact of conscious existence -- that you are alive -- is itself a miracle. As the old saying goes "every day above ground is a good day."
2. Health
Rather than thinking of illness as something bad that happens to you, start thinking of health as something good that's happening to you.
3. Purpose
There is nothing more conducive to long-term happiness than knowing that your actions are making the world a better place.
4. Friendship
Almost everyone has friends, although it's easy to lose track of them in the rush of every day life. Take a few minutes -- today -- to reconnect with some of them.
5. Family
If you've got a good relationship with your family, rejoice! You're experiencing one of the deepest sources of happiness on the planet.
6. Self-reliance
Feeling secure that you can count on your self to accomplish what you set out to accomplish creates a quiet but potent happiness.
7. Community
Having the support of a wider group makes you more aware that you're part of something greater than yourself.
8. Gratitude
Rather than focusing on what you don't have or what's out of reach, be thankful for the wonderful things already in your life.
9. Laughter
It is impossible to laugh and be miserable at the same time. Regular doses of laughter are more than medicine.....it's the flavor of life.
10. Love
'Nuff said.
