Zest for Life

Posted on August 22, 2008 in Community, Happiness/Joy, Inspiration, Self-Help by Michael.

Erica and I took a taxi to the airport this morning on our way to Chicago. The taxi driver was a woman who was very funny and talked about 90 miles an hour nonstop all the way to the airport.

She absolutely loved life and had recently married another taxi driver. In fact, that’s how they met. Their honeymoon was apparently fantastic as she talked about it for several minutes. She couldn’t say enough good things about her new husband. I’m not sure how she was breathing because of how fast she was talking. :-)

The nice thing was that both of us were laughing and smiling for the entire ride. What a great way to start off the day.

Once we got to the airport, a curbside baggage handler that Erica always uses came up to us in a really good mood. He had just returned from a 2 ½ week vacation in the Dominican Republic. So, of course, he was relaxed, grinning from ear to ear and eager to talk about his adventure.

So, in a matter of twenty minutes we met two really happy people. I truly believe that happened because I continually work on being as happy as possible all the time. You attract what you put out. I also found it interesting that I’ve been writing about the effect we can have on others by the example of our lives for the last few days.

Here were two excellent examples. I was already in a good mood before meeting these people. They helped put me into an entirely different level (higher of course) of happiness.

I can’t wait to see who we meet next. :-)

Have a great day!

Michael
