76 Little Things In Life That Bring Big Happiness

ADVERTISEMENT

Throughout life, you will hear two major pieces of advice. One is to live your life to the fullest and achieve as many goals as you can while you’re still young. The other is to live and enjoy the little things. Both are very important (though the notion of “young” is very subjective), but here’s an interesting observation: while we all strive to find joy in life, enjoying little things may be much more difficult than some of us anticipate.

This is not to say that we are insensitive creatures, but as often as not, if you ask yourself the question “What are the things that make me happy?”, you will at the very least start with some major points. Things like eating ice cream in the sun or finding an old book at a garage sale are more likely to be at the bottom of that list. And while many impact quotes keep telling us how important the little things are, we seem to forget about them.

The truth is, everyone can enjoy the little things in life; you only need to stop and look around, and see what makes you smile when you don’t even notice. In this article, you will find other people talking about what makes them happy. We hope this will inspire you and be a step towards finding joy in life.

Upvote the things that instantly put a smile on your face, and share this article with your friends. Let us know in the comments what little things in life make you happy.

"Girl next door has 2 cats. One time I left my door open and both went ahead exploring my large apartment.

Now every morning they go to my door and make a noise when they want to visit. They go in, look around and return to their apartment. It's kinda like a ritual right now.

And I really love it. One more reason to get up early. To allow someone else cats to check up on me."

Kitties abhor a closed door. The one off limit place in our house is the unfinished attic, any time we need to open the door we have to have one of us running defense to keep them from running up the stairs.

76 Little Things In Life That Bring Big Happiness "I talked about this fairly recently, but 5 years ago I lost my dog, Snoopy. He was my best friend for almost 17 years, so it was a very painful loss for me.

One night shortly after he died I got drunk and decided I wanted a tattoo of a caricature of him to remember him by. I asked my room/best (human) friend to draw it on my right forearm since I am right-handed and it was hard for me to do. Well, it was even harder to try and tattoo myself with my non-dominant hand and the result was a very sloppy tattoo. Even though it looks bad, it's my most cherished tattoo because it's such a raw expression of emotion.

Whenever I'm feeling bad or just miss him, I look down at that little goofy face on my arm and remember all the happiness that he brought me and all the great memories we made together. It never fails to put a smile on my face."

"I learned this from visiting a buddy. Learn the names of the people who you routinely visit, IE gas station employees or grocery store clerks, whatever. Learn a little about them, ask them about their day, and call them by name. It just feels good to make people feel appreciated I guess."

User No 2 replied: "I can vouch for this. I work at Starbucks, and I remembered this one customer's name once that came in 2-3 times over the span of 2 months. I later learned that she was an immigrant and everyone has such a hard time learning her name, that when I said “your name is... right?” she was so touched. And I was touched because I didn’t realize the effect that learning someone’s name had on people's lives."

I have interrupted co-workers before, just to make sure they notice the dogs. Brightens all of our days.

"There’s a middle-aged man that lives on my street and every morning he goes jogging. The dude is dedicated. No matter the weather he is out there, jogs back and forth on our tiny street carrying those hand weight things and sometimes sings to himself. It’s very motivating and heartwarming!"

Pizza day was always my favorite as a kid. Now the thing is chicken day -- people bring their own hot sauce. It's taken very seriously.

Hi! I'm the visual editor at Bored Panda, spicing up articles on Gardening, Home & Design. Guess what I daydream about? A future home with a huge garden, filled with all kinds of veggies and flowers. Sounds like the perfect match, doesn't it?

I knew I wanted to be a storyteller ever since I learned to read and write. Fulfilled this dream when I became a content creator and a filmmaker. Also got a degree in English language and literature because grammar is important! Good coffee and good music make everything better. When I’m not telling stories, you’ll find me studying foreign languages (currently, Korean), fangirling over my guinea pig Pepperboy, watching TV shows, and learning to play the drums.

So many things! One of my (57f) favorites, traveling to my grandparents house, my folks home town, there is a mountain range you come to as you get off the interstate. Every time I see that range, I do a little happy dance. It says home to me like nothing else. My grandparents are gone, as are most of the family we used to visit there. My dad is gone. So I treasure this feeling.

There's no place like home. Coming over the hill and seeing my parents house, even though I've lived elsewhere for longer than I lived there. It is still 'home'.

I save up vegetable scraps to put out in the yard for the rabbits to much on. When spring comes, and the baby bunnies start showing up to great me in the mornings for "breakfast," my heart melts.
