For a few years now I have been selling Patrick Lindsay’s books, his latest is called `Now is the time to be Happy.’ In it are just lots of short and thoughtful ways to think about your life and what really makes us happy. The recent few weeks have been particularly trying for me, with the renovation, some difficult people blah blah blah, we all have those times… that’s not my point. My point is that it’s books like Patricks that I like to pick up when I’ve had a hard day and it’s an instant reminder of everything I have to be grateful for. And I’m grateful for Patrick Lindsay for a start! Here are some of his words about Happiness…….
`It seems to me that happiness is a state of mind. It doesn’t depend on perfection in our lives. It’s a beautiful amalgam of feelings – which lifts our heart and our spirit and brings joy to those around us. It usually comes from seeking things that have substance and meaning. It also occurred to me that happiness doesn’t come from the big things in our lives. Usually, it comes from the little things.
So, when your seeking happiness, even small changes can have a transformative impact on us.
Happiness means something different to each one of us. It’s hard to define, but you know it when you feel it. It’s tantalising, it’s elusive, but I believe it’s never too late to find happiness. Some things certainly make it harder to be happy … until you recognise them and make allowance for them.’
