Be Happy

My friend posted this on his Facebook wall and so because it was awesome, I decided to copy and paste it here:


When you look at a child smiling, you will find yourself smiling either on the outside, inside, or both. You see, the child’s happiness is the happiness you seek. You want to feel worry free. You want to laugh a lot. You want to feel like life is fun. We move forward in life seeking this happiness. Why move forward? Just reverse. Don’t seek the happiness. The happiness is within. You just end up farther and farther away from it the more you search for it. Be like a child and make every move because it makes you happy, makes you laugh, and makes you smile.

“We’re pretty sure that most photographers don’t have quite the Instagram following as Chris Ozer. Currently, over 400,000 people look to the Brooklyn, New York-based photographer for inspiration on the popular photo sharing site.
Though it seems like he’s been taking photos his whole life, you may be surprised to find out that the former jazz musician found his true calling only a few years ago, back in September 2011. As he told Everest Journal, “There’s this old barn in North Carolina near my mom’s house that I took a few photos of at golden hour and posted to Instagram back in September 2011. I think that was the point where things clicked. The barn has a ton of character and so I started to understand what having a strong subject, and good lighting and composition can do for a photo. I’ve been on the lookout for characters like that ever since.”

98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village  in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money. 
though a well known fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.

“So my amazing daughter, Emma, turned 5 last month, and I had been searching everywhere for new-creative inspiration for her 5yr pictures. I noticed quite a pattern of so many young girls dressing up as beautiful Disney Princesses, no matter where I looked 95% of the “ideas” were the “How to’s” of  how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess…We chose 5 women (five amazing and strong women), as it was her 5th birthday but there are thousands of unbelievable women (and girls) who have beat the odds and fought (and still fight) for their equal rights all over the world
