12 Ways To Be Happy

12 Ways To Be Happy:*

*1. Make up your mind to be happy.* *
Learn to find pleasure in simple things.

2. Make the best of your circumstances.* *
No one has everything, and everyone has something
of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is
to make the laughter outweigh the tears.

3. Don't take yourself too seriously.
Don't think that somehow you should be protected* *
from misfortune that befalls other people.

4. You can't please everybody.* *Don't let criticism worry you.

5. Don't let your neighbor set your standards.* *Be yourself.
*
* 6. Do the things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt.
* *
* * 7. Never borrow trouble.* *Imaginary things are harder
to bear than real ones.

8. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy,
Avoid people who make you unhappy.

9. Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.

10. Don't hold postmortems. Don't spend your time brooding
over sorrows or mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things.

11. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.

12. Keep busy at something.** A busy person never has time
to be unhappy.

And I could add Number 13:
To know lasting happiness, get to know GOD.*

 

Ill try it

 

13 is a good one... I try to live for the Lord, my God.

now for 14(this is humor) SEX

 

^ L:O:L

 

my sense of humor doesn't coincide with my beleifs.
I relaly should work on self control.

 

Well, number 8 is what I'm trying to do, but its really hard to avoid the person that makes you unhappy.

 

words of wisdom.
and yes sex is very importent if you want happy life.

 

I like your thinking, number 13 was well thought I'll bear these in mind when im having trouble

 

well mate its good you wrote these up, but i've have already been doin this for a long time, and yep it sure does make me happy

 

thats kind of hard when there is no such thing

 

i can add a couple more, i think. video games, sex, photoshop, more sex, an xbox 360 or psp, more sex, oh! and more sex

anywayz great list there, imma try to use it!

 

Im sorry but I take offence to anyone who pushes religion of any kind. Good for you and all to belive but I dont need someone telling to belive in that crap. And if your taking offence to what Im saying remember your the one who said "get to know god", thats disrespectfull to anyone who doesn't belive or does not want to belive.

Anyways the other 12....For the most part I do all of those...Im still not happy

 

I really think that you should read #5 again.

 

I'm with Maniacal. You're disrespectin others believed by just tating that.

 

lol.

@ original poster, how can you say #5 and then add #13? Your contradicting yourself
