Over on the Delivering Happiness Facebook page, we like to find out what happy people are thinking about a bunch of different topics. Last week the big question was: "What is one piece of advice you'd give someone for happiness in the workplace?" We got so many amazing responses from community members that we just had to share a few of our faves. Here they are!
- Always plan a little FUN into your workday! -Janelle Gibson
- Do what is right even when you know no one else will know. -Michelle Waters
- First, understand your values. Second, choose work, employers, or teams that either share or let you live those values. Third, make sure your work gives you routes to you Mastery, Autonomy & Purpose. -Haider Imam

- Do something nice anonymously for a co-worker. It will lift your spirits, and cause them to look around wondering who cared enough to put a smile on their face.
