HAPPINESS: You CAN be Happy!

         
This is what happy looks like.  Are YOU Happy?

What are the keys to happiness?  What if you have your spouse, children, friends, health, faith in God and you still aren’t happy?

You can improve your chances of being happy by:

  1. Taking control of your life.  Start making decisions. Don’t let others tell you what to do or think.
  2. Be optimistic.  When you make plans, assume you will succeed.  Replace “I can’t” with “I can – and will.”
  3. Test your skills.  Get involved in something that challenges your abilities.
  4. Get involved in something you believe is worthwhile.
  5. Help others.
  6. Find excuses to laugh.
  7. Lighten up.
  8. ACT as if you are happy.  Smile at people you don’t know.
  9. Accept yourself.  Change what you are capable of changing and learn to accept that which you cannot change.
  10. Don’t dwell on the things that have made you miserable in the past.  Put them out of your mind.
  11.  Put this on your mirror:

“Happiness is having something to do, someone to love
and something to hope for.”
Alexander Chalmers
