Tonight (well, more like yesterday evening) I learnt another secret of how to be happy.
I was at a wine dinner function. No idea who will be there. And no idea who I will bump into. A surprise chance meeting with an old friend. It's been awhile but we carried on like we have never stopped. After a post mortem reflection, a light sparked. The secret is to be genuine. Be myself. People know when you are real. And people know if you are pretending to be someone you are not.
You don't have to be a 'big-shot' to be respected. The most magnetizing presence you can create is simply by being yourself. Be present. Have a genuine interest in your surroundings. See the positives in your current situation. Be open. Be friendly. Most importantly - listen. Open your ears more than your mouth.
Heads will turn because people will be drawn to your happiness. They will be curious. They will want to be near you.
