Yesterday, and for just an instant, I felt like the happiest man on Earth. No fancy triggers or spectacular experiences: I was just having lunch.
I then wondered if every man is once in a lifetime “the happiest man on Earth”, even if it’s only for a mili-second. Odds are 1 to billions so I guess not. Despite the stats, I believe that the feeling can be easily and repeatedly experienced if you slow down for a second and focus on the joy and pleasure small things can bring.
A slip of Coke, a gold-lighted afternoon, free ice-cream or a slow kiss can be just enough to make you feel the happiest man (or girl) on Earth.

i do believe you are right, if anyone takes a moment and slows down enough to experience every little aspect of the things around them, they can experience deep happiness :)
