1. Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action. Taking the first step may be hard but it is necessary for growth.
2. Happiness can exist only in acceptance. Accept the wonderfulness of YOU just as you are!
3. Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn’t know you left open. Sometime’s looking at a past experience through a different lens can create emotions or feelings that couldn’t surface at that time.
4. Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more. The energy behind genuine giving can impact not only your life, but the lives of others.
5. It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere. True happiness and peace begins with the hard work of self reflection and self forgiveness.
6. The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom. There is a saying, “The devil will find work for idle hands….”
7. Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness. Learn to be happy in your circumstances. By always searching, you may miss what is under your nose.
8. The first recipe for happiness in to avoid too lengthy mediation on the past. Always living in the past may not allow for future growth. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may not happen so live in your present moment.
