8th time in a row Finland 🇫🇮 is the World’s Happiest Country! Is our country really so happy as World Happiness Report says?

Well, let’s first clear one thing. In these past 8 years no one asked me! No one.

And I heard they did not either from @Corina Maiwald. My happy German origin friend living in Finland now.

Anyhow, we need to ask what Corina and others think about this but let me first share my views.

Finland truly is one of the happiest and best countries in the World. Especially during the spring-summer-fall time.

The clean pure nature where we then get to enjoy our leisure time and celebrate midsummer - Like here in the picture below and to go pick berries from the forests, swim in lakes, rivers and sea.

And overall enjoy the beauty of a country where everyone have quite equal opportunities to education and basic income assuring that all of us have roof over our head, warmth and food - Is indeed something to be happy and grateful for.

These times when the World gives us many reasons for unhappiness, fears and sadness - We can still focus on the basic things that are well for us.

And with that, assure that others have it as well!

As much as ever, this World needs so much more love for another and so much common faith that the future can be bright once again - No matter how dark and hopeless many of the news try to make us feel.

I add in comments below the article about our BIG WIN of this ”competition” 8th time of Happiest Country of the World by Fortune Well!

Enjoy and let me know your thoughts, too!

And indeed as Fortune states in their article:

”It’s a good day to be a Finn - again”

Spring is here! Sun is back and what an amazing blue sky this afternoon here in Finland!

We won the darkness! Once again!

It’s not only about the weather I am talking about here but also about those many challenges we face in life and in business.

The road is not always smooth. Rather quite the opposite.

Sometimes the circumstances make you want to give up and quit - As it feels that you are surrounded by obstacles only and you cannot see ways ahead.

However, just as after the hardest climb comes the best view on the mountain top - Same way it is in life.

After the hardest climb or the darkest paths through the valley one moment the victory comes!

I don’t know who needs to hear this today but let this also serve as testimony from my life too that after hard climb it will get better!

With this I wish you strength with whatever you are dealing with!


With heart

The Smiling Storyteller,

In a small village nestled in the rolling hills of a far-off land, there lived a young man named Kiddbena. Despite being born into a poor family, Kiddbena's face was always aglow with a warm, radiant smile.

As a child, Kiddbena had known the pangs of hunger and the sting of poverty. But instead of letting his circumstances define him, he chose to rise above them. He found solace in the ancient art of storytelling, weaving tales that transported his listeners to far-off lands and fantastical worlds.

Kiddbena's stories were not just mere fantasies, but also reflections of his own life experiences. He spoke of struggles and triumphs, of sorrow and joy, and of the resilience of the human spirit. His tales were infused with a deep sense of empathy and compassion, born from his own struggles and hardships.

One day, a severe drought struck the land, and the village was plagued by famine and thirst. Many of the villagers grew despondent, their faces etched with worry and fear. But not Kiddbena. Despite the dire circumstances, he continued to smile, his eyes twinkling with warmth and kindness.

As the villagers gathered around him, Kiddbena began to spin a tale of hope and perseverance. He spoke of a magical spring that flowed with crystal-clear water, of a land where crops grew tall and green, and of a people who laughed and loved in the face of adversity.

As Kiddbena's story unfolded, the villagers' faces began to brighten, their eyes sparkling with renewed hope. They laughed and clapped, their spirits lifted by the young storyteller's words.

And though the drought eventually passed, and the village was restored to its former glory, Kiddbena's smile remained, a beacon of hope and joy in the face of adversity.

The Moral lessions:

1. The power of positivity: Kiddbena's smile and positive attitude helped to uplift those around him, even in the darkest of times.
2. The importance of empathy: Kiddbena's stories were infused with a deep sense of empathy and compassion, born from his own struggles and hardships.
3. The impact of kindness: Kiddbena's kindness and warmth helped to bring hope and joy to those around him, creating a ripple effect of positivity.

As we reflect on Kiddbena's story, let us remember the value of smiling in the face of adversity, of empathizing with those around us, and of spreading kindness and joy wherever we go.
