Happy “Alamo”
It means a mission in San Antonio Texas or a Poplar Tree but in this writing I am referring to Alamo, the car rental agency.
On a recent trip to the wonderful city of Atlanta I happened to rent a vehicle from the above-mentioned company. It wasn’t until returning home from the trip that I noticed the wording on the map they had given me.
There is was, right under their logo, a slogan, so short and so powerful that it caught my attention enough to save it and still have it as a reminder.
I am well aware that, especially in today’s world, I need reminders to bring me back the present and what is really important. I still have Alamo’s logo pinned up on my wall with its clever and meaningful, hand written tag line.
Did you ever notice how most of us, when we are in our car, are in more of a complaining mood. Traffic is going to slow, people are following to close or someone cut you off, seem to be standard thoughts as we cruise along.
So what if we really did do what our friends at Alamo are suggesting to us, what if we really drive feeling Happy.
Here are a few alternative meaning and there are many more.
Delighted, Untroubled, Pleased, Content, Thrilled, etc.
If you woke up this morning you should feel thrilled and Happy just for waking up.
There are not any guarantees that you will each day.
Now to extend this concept how about;
Working Happy
Thinking Happy
Sharing Happy
Eating Happy
Meeting Happy
Whistling Happy
Dancing Happy
It doesn’t have to only be at birthdays that we wish another to have a Happy Day.
You see it is all about energies and how we feel in the moment. If we Feel Happy we attract like energies. Others pick up those feeling and it helps them feel closer to the same.
Have you ever noticed when you are near an angry person how you can feel their energy? Well it works the same way being near a Happy person, so allow that to be you.
It can change the mood of the whole room.
Next time you think of it, while you are walking, try Walking Happy.
Actually just by thinking and typing the word “Happy” so many times I am feeling it more and more.
Now I even have Pharrell Williams Happy song in my head. See if you can watch a YouTube video of Happy and be able to sit still.
He even has a website 24hoursofhappy.com
Happy feels good.
Happy is a magnet.
Be Happy, use your car to remind you.
Then work on being Happy all the other times when you are not in your car.
Drive Happy.
