Don't Worry, Be Happy

Did you know? According to Gallup:
*There are 6.3 billion people in the world.
*3 billion people in the world live on less than $2.00 a day.
*Another 1 billion people live on less than $1.00 a day.
*The majority of these people are happy!

Most people consider a bad day to be one that includes:
*Physical pain
*Worry
*Sadness

A good day includes:
*Feeling well-rested
*Treated with respect all day
*Learned or did something interesting
*Smiled/laughed/enjoyment

So it's true what they say...money really doesn't buy happiness! Gallup has proven it. Here's to keeping life simple and unencumbered by excess wealth or material possessions.

Thanks to my friend Kim Parker at CEA for sharing this info, which she obtained from a presentation that reviewed Gallup's "World Poll" conducted in 2007.
