Hi Vanessa, Will you tell me which article you saw the word? I could not find it in the “10 Ideas For Happiness”. I had a second set of eyes and word search come up empty. If it is somewhere else I want to correct it. Cheers!

Gratitude is a sure-fire way to magnify an existing happiness. It’s the cheapest prescription a patient can buy.

I agree with everything you said in your blog.

I would add that removing the word “should” when evaluating yourself will help remove obstacles blocking the path to happiness. The word is isolating and is counter productive. “I should be happy. I should be more successful. I should love my family. I should make more money. I should be acknowledged more.”

I find replacing “should” with either “can” or “will” is much healthier. Adding “because” or “by doing the following” is also helpful because they provide clarity and reassurance.

But these are little things.

Lovely blog post.
