Can beauty, money, fame and a host of worldly things bring happiness. May be for some people who also have inner peace and equilibrium. But these things cannot bring happiness to the people whose self is immersed in the pride and lives only in the reactive sphere of being recognised and gratified by others.
The suicide of Viveka, Kamasutra condom supermodel, is just one of the many examples. It is not to say that people with wealth and beautiful body figures are not happy. If there is some inner equilibrium, and if the core of the person is well composed of happiness and clarity, the other external things will enhance it. Most of the glam world stars live far away from themselves. Though we cannot say what exactly prompted her to end the life, it is an end reaction of the feeling that no amount of happiness is possible with this life.
If a person cannot smile or laugh freely, in all probability he or she is not a happy person. There is link between smile/laugh, positive emotions and ability to move facial muscles. Look into mirror every day. Try how many facial muscles you can move using the very muscles but not hand or any other tool to lift.
If you cannot move many face muscles, you cannot smile happily. As you cannot smile happily, there is an underlying cause at your emotional world. There must be something wrong there. In fact, this link is found in a study of Botox, which actually paralyses the muscles in the area. The purpose is to cure wrinkles. But the side effect is that you cannot show up emotions.
Facial expressions act as feed back mechanism to the brain. So, keep smiling and avoid frowning.
A “Global Happiness Summit” is planned on 10-10-10 near San Francisco in the US. Organisers say, it will be Educational, Enlighten, Entertaining and Empowering. The mission of the I Am Happy Project ( http://www.globalhappinesssummit.org) is to spread happiness globally one person at a time. Happiness is defined as: “a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment satisfaction, pleasure or joy. Happiness comes from deep within, and not from people, situations or circumstances.”
On 10/10/10 and on the 27th, organisers of the event planned a Viral Global Campaign. The core aspect of this event is that one person’s happiness ( http://www.globalhappinesssummit.org) triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends’ friends, and his friends’ friends’ friends. This relay effect can be felt and measured upto three levels according to the researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego.

'Show me few of your friends and I will tell you what kind of a person is you are' is an old adage. The recent findings of scientists Nicholas Christakis of Harvard University and James Fowler of University of California reconfirms the underlying principles of this adage.
As habits and influences spread in closely knitted groups, most important of them are friendship groups, lifestyle outcomes like obesity, losing weight, happiness or otherwise spread in these groups. Though they are not contagious flu or viral diseases, many habits and their outcomes of lifestyles spread like flu. These scientists conclude social networks are bad as they spread flu type viruses so quickly. But at the same time they are very good if the happiness is to be distributed.
So be in social networks that generate good vibes to feel and spread happiness. Start spreading the infection of your smile.
