I feel happy over small things - like a blossoming flower or a lovely tune or a call from a loved one.But I doubt a million dollar lottery or a great pair Christian Louboutin shoes or an unexpected vintage Chanel couture dress - would make me really happy. And yet, if I got any of that, I would indulge in more external exhibitions of happiness than I would if I had woken up to a beautiful sunrise. We sometimes forget that the simple pleasures of life hold the key to our happiness much more than these huge non-events that we keep hoping for.

Find joy in the beauty of a job well done, rather than in the recognition of it.

isn't this beautiful?
