Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 2. Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and </div> <div> everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 3. Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should </div> <div> be protected from misfortune that befalls other people.<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 4. You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you.<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 5. Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself.<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 6. Do the things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt. </div> <div> 7. Never borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones.<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 8. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy, enmity, grudges. </div> <div> Avoid people who make you unhappy.<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 9. Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 10. Don't hold post-mortems. Don't spend your time brooding over sorrows or </div> <div> mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things. </div> <div> 11. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 12. Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0d920200.gif" border=0 width="32" height="32" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Happiness On Hold </B></div> <bR> <div> We convince ourselves that life will be better after </div> <div> we get married, have a baby, then another. </div> <div> Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough </div> <div> and we'll be more content when they are. </div> <div> After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. </div> <div> We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. </div> <div> We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our </div> <div> spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, </div> <div> are able to go on a nice vacation,or when we retire. </div> <div> The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. </div> <div> If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. </div> <div> It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way.
