5 Keys to Happiness

“Johnny, are you kind today?” Mommy asked.

“Yes, this morning I shared an apple with April. When Jerad cried, I told him I knew it hurt”. Johnny said. 

Mommy has a broad smile on her face. She told Johnny, “Johnny, you will grow up being a happy Johnny because you have the key to happiness”. 

So, what is Johnny's key to happiness? 

How's mom's well-being? 

According to Dr. Martin Seligman, a pioneer in positive psychology, there are five keys to flourishing. They are positive emotion, engagement, meaning, positive relationships, and accomplishments (PERMA).
