Happiness-It's Different for Everyone

Happiness: what a strange feeling it is! We feel joyful, satisfied, contended and more. It's hard to explain the feeling. It is a pleasant feeling though. We all feel happy about something, some days, sometimes. However, it is not necessary what makes us happy now will still make us happy 10 years later or what makes us jump with excitement also excites others as much too.



Take for example the fact that I was over the moon to see, feel and experience snow for the first time in my life back in 2009. Today, I still like watching through my window when it is snowing, but I do not feel as happy about experiencing it as I did 9 years ago. Thoughts about driving on those slippery and icy roads make me cringe, about catching a cold and still having to fulfill my responsibilities as a mother and homemaker drive me crazy.




Likewise, you may feel that 'deep satisfaction' when you get to eat something you really enjoy eating, but for someone out there the mere thought of being able to find some food in a big pile of garbage can bring happiness.



You might feel like being on top of the world when you are flying for a holiday but there are people out there who feel happy at the mere thought of being able to afford a bicycle to ride to work.





So why does everyone experience the same feeling so differently? Why does happiness have a different meaning for everyone. That's probably because we are all different, have different ideas, interests, perceptions, goals and most of all different experiences in life. No matter what we think about happiness, we know it makes us feel good.  Now is the time to appreciate and be contended with what we have in life. Life is short. Try to enjoy every single moment of it and experience the real happiness it brings with it. Enjoy it before it is too late as Gerard Way has put it well as:


“One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching”

6 of the Most Common Ghostwriting FAQs Answered: What to Include in My Contract Before Ghostwriting My Client's Book

Having answered the top two most frequently asked questions about ghostwriting, it is now time for the third one. Question #3: What should I include in my contract before I start ghostwriting my client's book? Answer: To state the obvious, a written and signed contract is one of the most important elements a ghostwriter needs before he or she undertakes a ghostwriting job. A contract is a mutual agreement between you, as the ghostwriter and the client you are ghostwriting for. Because a ghostwriting job can take several weeks and even months to complete, what you include in this contract should be all carefully worded. So, what should you include in the contact? From my personal experience as a ghostwriter, I believe any terms that you and the client have mutually discussed and agreed on should be penned down in your contract. Nothing, and I mean absolutely NOTHING should remain a part of your verbal communication. It all has to be in black and white and
