Dear Taichung Happiers,

Reaching our childhood dreams always makes us happier and healthier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct3y0LZuPSM

Raise your hands, if you have enjoyed a fantastic Lunar New Year Holiday! Oh, yeah…no expectation gap like "My wife and I can never agree on holidays. I want to fly to exotic places and stay in five-star hotels. And she wants to come with me" (by Kelly Kingham, Edinburgh Festival Fringe)!!! American psychologist Carl Ransom Rogers (January 8, 1902 – February 4, 1987) released a remarkable reminder. "The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination." For the first gathering after the Lunar New Year Holiday, our President Harris is greeting Taichung Happiers with open arms and the enquiry about our direction toward a happier and healthier life. Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, let us practice a happiness habit by participating more in gathering, shall we?

Rejoice in the natural world--especially, in this year of Rooster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoL7wRgBugM See the ocean always waving its hands so friendly? Taichung Happiers' best friend Albert Einstein proclaimed this profound insight. "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." Yes. We are made of nature, so we feel a part of it. We are designed by nature; therefore, we perceive the increasing improvement in health and happiness while immersing ourselves in the natural world. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2016/01/call-to-wild/ Most importantly, we are destined for loving the Mother Nature—having outdoor experiences, doing nature arts, and interpreting the wildness and wonders of nature help us show great physical and mental resilience and give a little back to nature—despite all the forever changing circumstances. Hum…what can be the top priority for your next trip? How about trying a TreeHotel? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqt71xsE2Yg

Re-connect with countless possibilities--nothing is impossible, the word itself says "I'm possible!" All right, we cannot really love Albert Einstien enough. "There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” What magic makes these miracles? The magic of Gratitude, Contentment, and Positivity. If you haven’t completed the Equation of Gratitude, do the experiment to distinctly demonstrate how far the power of giving thanks can take you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHv6vTKD6lg And, contentment is The Fountain of Inner Peace, which helps diminish desires and develop a healthy lifestyle and long-lasting happiness. However, to be content is easier said than done—that’s why the story “How” is as indispensible as oxygen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5_0hMIOh_c Research results have also revealed the connection between positivity and a happier, healthier life. Truly, we are perfectly imperfect, and positivity always polishes up the new spirit. https://www.verywell.com/accentuate-the-positive-positive-thinking-and-happiness-2224115

Remain in good Relationships--not only that relationship relationship https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aLQq2pbQ3J0 , I mean, but also the relationship with yourself and more. Never losing his faith, Academy Award-winning actor Denzel Washington echoed to The Little Prince: “Why do we close our eyes when we pray, cry, kiss, dream? Because the most beautiful things in life are not seen but felt only by heart”. So, respect and love more. Here is how relationships can directly and indirectly affect our health and happiness. http://health.usnews.com/health-news/blogs/eat-run/2014/10/09/why-relationships-are-crucial-to-your-health-and-happiness While remaining in good relationships, our attention is attracted to the reason to apprehend and appreciate the exquisite gift we were born with--creating the true value of our existence and influence. Based on a true story, the film Lion recounts what is worthy of “an ideal life”. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xNstK5rbzcw

“Happiness” (by Carl Sandburg)

I asked the professors who teach the meaning of life to tell
me what is happiness.
And I went to famous executives who boss the work of
thousands of men.
They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though
I was trying to fool with them
And then one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along
the Desplaines river
And I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees with
their women and children and a keg of beer and an
accordion.

Raise your hair--there is not a single day going by without leaving exciting indications. A happier and healthier habit can be as simple as wearing a flower in your hair, sharing positive thoughts out loud, or enjoying a slow, leisurely breakfast with families and friends. Oh, and please find out the direct correlation between reading and a happier, healthier life by yourself. No worries, it will be a gorgeous picture if Happiers raise hair together! LOL. Join us. Thanks!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHtvy7-Yogw





With Gratitude,
Jasmine
