You need to decide whether you are the glass half full or glass half empty kind of person. As Abraham Lincoln stated, “Most people are as happy as they choose to be.” But how do you face even the most difficult situations with a glass half full attitude? And are there really any benefits to being happy? As demonstrated by British researchers in a study published in the Journal of Social Psychology, researchers have shown that people who perform daily acts of kindness experience greater personal satisfaction and happiness (Dixon). These beautiful acts of kindness can be as simple as holding the door open for someone who enters a building before you or paying for a stranger's meal or bag of groceries. Giving people sincere compliments or a sincere smile reflects your mood. All of these actions are “half-full” behaviors, which in turn make you feel better about yourself. The beauty of these acts of kindness is that they become habits, which easily transforms your “half-empty” behaviors into something constructive, natural, and effortless. By making these natural and effortless acts of kindness habitual, it will become easier to overcome difficulties. negative in the world, which are published every day through newspapers and television news.
