Importance of being cheerful

How often do you

a) make others feel good about themselves?
b) ask others to make you feel good?
c) expect others to make you feel good?
d) accept positive gestures from others?
e) make yourself feel good?

The answers to these questions will give you insight onto your level of cheerfulness. If you make yourself feel good and share those good feelings with others, accept positive gestures from others, but at the same time do not feel disappointed when they are not given. If you also don't hesitate to ask for positive gestures once in a while from your loved ones, you can stay cheerful and spread that cheer around!
