Guerilla Happiness Movement

I want to talk about something called Guerilla Happiness Movement, and why it is important.  In their About section, it says "The Guerilla Happiness Movement~ we experience daily, vicariously and innately, both ridiculously happy and incredibly heavy moments. This is an agreement to connect, a shared opportunity to express our vision of empowered joy in this wildly precious Life by making a conscious effort to utilize our most valuable tool: perspective. Life is what you make of it. Always. Let's teach each other how to build a more pleasurable, harmonious and fun-filled life expression. Choose Happy: Because you get to pick! And it feels good! :) Live it share it spread it! ♥"  

I think that this is one of the most vital lessons in life to learn, and sometimes, the hardest.  When I was growing up, I would get soooooooo hurt by things that the other kids would say to/about me.  I remember my mother always said "Don't let them have that power over you, they aren't hurting from this"  Unfortunately,  that never really helped me until I was older.  It's so hard sometime to NOT let the "incredibly heavy moments" bring you down.  It's hard sometimes to take pride in what you do when it seems that nobody else does.  

This is why the Guerilla Happiness Movement is important.  If you are having a hard time with this, pop in to the group.  I have had days when everything sucked all around.  They made all the difference.  It is VERY hard to surround yourself with thoughts of happiness and not smile at least once.  Once you have let yourself smile, once you have let go of the negative it becomes easier to just go with the happiness.  Try it, trust me, don't give up on your own happiness, and allow yourself to create happiness for others.  

Thank you Guerilla Happiness Movement!!!!
