2. Most of us place the fate of our happiness in the hands of
others and surroundingcircumstances. If the weather werent so
dreary today, Id be happier. If my bosswerent such a pain, Id be
happy. Once my financial situation improves, I promiseto be
happy.Happiness Is A Decision
3. You dont have to wait for things to change before you can be
happy. Happinessis more in our own hands than we realize. Happiness
is as much a decision as itis an emotion. You can decide to be
happy! Its in your hands!Happiness Is In Your Hands!
4. Happy People Look On The Bright Side Of LifeGood things and
bad things happen to every single person - they happen to happy
people,they happen to unhappy people. The main difference is, happy
people choose to focus onthe good things in life and, unhappy
people, the bad things. When you choose to look onthe bright side
of life, you will find yourself a much happier person.
5. Most of us have forgotten one of the bare essentials of a
happy life - having fun! Be silly.Crack jokes. Laugh. Be
mischievous. Let your hair down. Leave your troubles behind.
Playhard. Just play. Enjoy yourself. We are always so busy walking
and running in our lives,we forget. We forget to stop and dance!1.
Have Fun In Our Busy Daily Lives
6. Look at people who are very happy with life, or who have
achieved certain things in life. Onecommon feeling almost all of
them share is self-belief. If you believe that you are
something,you may be right. If you believe you are not something,
however, you are definitely right. Whenyou think you can, you may
be right. When you think you cant, youre right!2. Have Self
Belief
7. Humor in our daily lives is an essential ingredient of
happiness. So, learn to look on the funnyside of things. Even
serious situations. Have you had a good laugh today? If you havent,
thenplease do - dont let the day go to waste! Laughter melts the
distances between people.3. Humor And Laughter Are Important
8. Your life will never be perfect. Some things can always be
improved upon. The goodnews is, you can choose to accept this fact,
and allow yourself to be happy anyway.But first, it is necessary to
accept the reality that imperfection is inevitable.4. Except That
Imperfection Exists
9. Find the good things in your mind and keep whats worth
keeping. Rememberwhats worth remembering. Dwell on whats worth
dwelling on. Banish theunhappy thoughts and feelings. Keep what
makes you happy!5. Keep The Good, Dump The Bad
10. When we break a promise, we lose credibility. Not just in
the eyes of others, but in our ownas well. When we break promises,
people lose faith in us. It doesnt feel good when we feelwere not
trusted or trustworthy. Mean what you say. If you make a promise,
keep it. Youremotional health will benefit if you do so.6. Keep
Your Promises
11. Most of us know what are important to us. But we dont
necessarily live that way. Looking atthe world, especially today,
it is easy to see why we get distracted, confused and misled.
Realsuccess is about personal well-being and relationships - its
not about material well-being.7. Know The Real Meaning Of
Success
12. 8. Everything In Life Is Relative.If you compare your life
to the perfect life, you will never be satisfied, and never be
happy. Onthe other hand, comparing your current situation to the
roughest times of your life, or the livesof people who are going
through hell, will make you realize how fortunate you are, and
howhappy you should be. Realize that happiness is relative. There
is really a lot to be happy for.
13. 9. Know What Makes You HappyHappiness is well within all
our grasps. We need to know what we want and then have astrategy to
go get them. It is important to know what makes you tick. What gets
you upand what pushes you down. Gravitate towards what makes you
happy, and shy away fromwhat makes you unhappy. Go towards happy,
and be happy.
14. Happy people have the most happiness. Most happy people are
not happy becauseeverything is going right in their lives. They are
happy people because of their outlook,their mentality. Talk to
happy people. Learn from them. They will have plenty to teachyou
about happiness, about being happy.10. Learn From Happy People
15. 11. Learn To ForgiveWhen someone wrongs us, the instinct is
to take revenge. An eye for an eye. A toothfor a tooth. Forgiveness
is an amazing thing. When you bestow it, not only does theparty
receiving it experience an uplifting joy and relief, you, too, will
feel very good.Practice forgiveness. You are helping not just
others, but yourself as well.
16. 12. Let Go Of Physical ThingsWe have to learn to let go of
things. They are just that - things. Dont grow too attached
tophysical objects. When we become too attached to physical
objects, we lose track of thetruly important areas of our lives.
Our family. Dont let physical things dominate your life.You cant
take them with you all the time.
17. 13. Let GoWe have to learn to let go of events. What has
passed is past. Learn fromit. Grow from the experience. But move
on. Look ahead. The rest of yourlife starts today.
18. 14. Let Love, Not Fear, Govern YouIt is always difficult to
give of ourselves fully because, by doing so, we place ourselvesin
a vulnerable position, vulnerable to hurt and pain. Often, we hold
back because ofthis fear. So, dont think you are insignificant. You
are important. You are significant.You do make a difference. You
are here for a reason.
19. Happiness is something you get as a by-product in the
process of making somethingelse. Whats the use of happiness? It
cant buy you money. Happiness is when yourmind is thinking through
your heart. Happiness is something we are. Happiness is
notsomething you experience, its something you remember.
20. Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now.
The place to behappy is here. The way to be happy is to make others
so. Happiness oftensneaks through a door you didnt know you left
open.Thank You Very MuchSompong Yusoontorn
