Leo Tolstoy made happiness simple.  This simple quote resonates in my head on days where I make life difficult.  Sometimes we can get in the funk of dragging our feet, pulling our hair out and then we say, “I just want to be happy!”  So today I tell you:

If you want to be happy, be.

Happiness doesn’t have to be complicated.  It really can be simple.  The folks over at Real Simple have given us a guide to 9 Ways to be Happy in the Next 30 Minutes. Check it out and be happy!
