Live Inspired!
“Orange is the happiest color.”
I like the emphasis on the positive here, and for me, the quote is particularly meaningful because it comes from a singer who is associated with so much talent but who is also renowned for his heartfelt renditions of some very sad love songs. If such a man also put so much stock in happiness, then why not follow his lead. Carry on his illustrious tradition? How frequently do we do the opposite: highlight the negative, talk about the downside, or over-focus on the pieces of our lives we see as not working? For me, orange is indeed a happy color. It’s bright. It stands out. It highlights uniqueness, and it says, have a good time. What things make you happy? How can you make it a point to put more attention on them? In what one or two ways this week might you have some fun using “orange” —or for that matter some other color— to trigger your own focus on happiness? Hey, Frank Sinatra was pretty darned successful. We could do worse than to follow his lead. And as they say in the city of Syracuse — along with several other happy places across the country — in honor of their teams that have shown so much excellence in sports: Go Orange! How do these ideas resonate with you, and what one or two actions might you take this week to expand your focus on happiness?
