"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." -Buddha
Happiness. The underlying theme of my blog has been ways to be happy. By seeing beauty in things you may not have noticed before. By finding happiness and self-worth within yourself. But today is about gaining happiness by sharing it with others.
It's why I always write to spread the beauty at the end of each my posts. When you are happy, making others happy only creates more happiness. Sharing it with others, like Buddha says, does not destroy your own happiness. It makes it last longer.
It is so easy to spread messages of negativity. Sharing stories of our bad days with friends. Telling your parents how your teachers really upset you. And sometimes we need to vent. We're human. We need to purge negativity sometimes.
Just don't forget to share the positive stuff too. Let others know about the happiness in your life. And ask them about the great things happening in theirs.
When there is a smile on your face, do something to put a smile on someone else's face. You'll only be happier when you succeed. This world could do with a lot more smiling. Be apart of that.
This is just another reason why kids are so great. They love to tell you about all the great things that happened to them. They got to use bubblegum toothpaste this morning. Then they had a chocolate donut for breakfast. They're going to a birthday party this afternoon! They want you to know about all of the happiness in their life, and they just can't keep it inside. Stop keeping your happiness inside. Let it out into the world. Let it help others to be happy too.

Spread the beauty, spread the word, and spread some happiness too!
