10 Keys To Happier Living

Life is like a ten-speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use.

10 Keys To Happier Living

Based on the latest scientific research on happiness a group based out of the United Kingdom has identified ten "keys" that tend to have a consistently positive impact on people's overall happiness and well-being. The first five keys relate to how people interact with the world outside, while the latter half are concerned more with the inner life. This piece shares the ten keys (that together form the acronym GREAT DREAM), and also includes thoughtful questions under each key to prompt self-reflection. { read more }

Caine's Cardboard Arcade

Each of us represents a star in heaven. Sometimes we shine with the rest. Sometimes we twinkle alone. And sometimes when we least expect it, we make someone's dreams come true

- Author Unknown -

Caine's Cardboard Arcade

Caine Monroy spent his summer vacation building an elaborate cardboard arcade in his dad's used auto parts store. The adorable 9-year old worked for months to perfect the game designs, making displays for the prizes, and creating elaborate security systems. Unfortunately, his dad's store is in an industrial part of East L.A. that gets almost no foot traffic. So Caine had exactly zero customers ... until a filmmaker, Nirvan Mullick, randomly stopped by for a used door handle and bought a "Fun Pass." The short film Mullick went on to create about Caine was released early this week -- and has already been viewed millions of times, reportedly bringing thousands to tears. It serves as a touching celebration at the intersection of a little boy's dream and the kindness of a stranger. { read more }

Be The Change

The next time you stumble across someone who is bravely following their dream, make time to acknowledge and foster their gift -- with something as small as a smile or as big as a flashmob!

The Memory Project: Portraits of Compassion

For so many centuries, the exchange of gifts has held us together. It has made it possible to bridge the abyss where language struggles.

- Barry Lopez -

The Memory Project: Portraits of Compassion

At the base of a volcano in the middle of Lake Nicaragua, there's an orphanage. Although developing world orphanages aren't normally festive places, on this day, at this time, there was reason to celebrate: the arrival of a young man named Ben Schumaker. Schumaker comes from faraway Wisconsin, and he comes bearing gifts. He carries a suitcase with 62 pounds of portraits -- portraits of the kids, a painting for just about each and every one of them. This is all part of the Memory Project, a unique initiative in which art students draw and deliver portraits for disadvantaged children all over the world. { read more }

The Pursuit of Silence in A World of Noise

A day of silence can be a pilgrimage in itself.

- Hafiz -

The Pursuit of Silence in A World of Noise

Writer George Prochnik says he's had a passion for silence as long as he can remember. "I can't sit in my house without hearing air conditioners. I worry about this layer of noise that's placed on top of infrastructure noise." In his new book, In Pursuit of Silence: Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise, Prochnik leaves the noisy confines of New York City and goes on a global quest to find those who still value silence. He examines the never-ending series of sounds that pervade his thoughts on a daily basis -- the traffic helicopters, the leaky iPods, the neighbors who hold loud parties -- and researches the scientific effects of noise on our bodies. This NPR article shares insights and an excerpt from his book. { read more }

Be The Change

What is your own favorite refuge from the noisy world? This week try making some extra time for silence and stillness.
