I came across an old news story today called "Happiness Buys Success." The content itself is something you've probably already heard. Happy people are generally more successful.

With Mother’s Day just passed, I’ve been thinking a lot about how important my mom is to me and how our whole family has gotten one another through good times and bad. Family can be just the cure for a bad day, because there’s nothing quite like mom’s home cooking for a good mood.

If you ever have those times when it seems like the day is going to be tough to face, all it takes is starting your morning off right to make sure you’ll be in a good mood all day. When I notice someone is cranky or in a bad mood, often they use the excuse, “I got up on the wrong side of the bed.” While seemingly a meaningless phrase, I wonder if those people had gotten their morning off to a good start if they would be in a better mood? I notice that if I do things for myself in the morning, it gets me off to a great start and keeps me in a good mood all day.
