i would like to cover 3 things in this blog post:
1) new year's resolution
2) key to happiness
3) what happened that elevated my happiness levels

i have decided my new year's resolution is to make as many friends as possible. usually my goals are a little far fetched and can't be achieved for months and months. i can do this daily right? i can't believe that i am done with half of my senior year. i want to be kind to everyone, and when i come to school in the morning, instead of trying to fall asleep in all my boring classes.. come to school with a bounce in my step and try and make other people's days better. i want to make the most out of the last couple months i have at bountiful high.

number 2. i have noticed a major difference in people's lives that are happy vs. miserable. one word... SERVICE. there is definitely a reward that comes when you put other before yourself and focusing on someone else's happiness instead of worrying about your own. i look at some of my friends that are not happy with their life right now, and one day it hit me.. they don't understand the blessings that come from serving others. to be able to step back, even in your hardest times, and try and make someone happy is one of the greatest feelings in the world. the key to happiness is to forget about yourself, and stop trying to make yourself happy. kind of odd, but how you find happiness is not looking for it in multiple worldly ways, but simply giving it to others.



that's all! i'll be a better blogger, i promise.
