little truths

some little truths I've learned in recent months:

-the art of mastering one's self takes time
-"fake it 'til you make it"
-music soothes the soul and comforts the heart
-what you want in life is up to you

I've learned a lot from people these past few months. I tend to observe people a lot (no I'm not a stalker :D) and I have noticed that smiles are so much more comforting than frowns. The people that smile give me more faith and hope in this world. And I wonder if they know how much their smile means to somebody.

"Fake it 'til you make it." I wish I had thought of that phrase! It's such a good phrase, even if you're not happy, pretend you are, and then eventually you really will be happy.

Good, uplifting music (and movies) are a good key for happiness. Pretty self-explanatory.

  3. Smiling always makes me happier-unfortunately, sometimes I'm a stinker and I like to be grumpy for a while... I guess I need to work on that.
    Music has always been so important to me, too. I really love what music can do for the soul.
