indeed merit <i>happiness<b> </b></i>and what is more <i>happiness</i> is baneful. The <i>happier
</i>people there are around then even more people will find <i>happiness</i>. We owe it
ourselves to perform on our own <i>happiness</i> and we owe it to society as well. Our
own <i>happiness </i>will help others and inspire others to find <i>happiness</i>. If we are
<i>unhappy </i>then we are likely making others <i>unhappy </i>as well (even if
unintentionally) and it is extremely unlikely we are doing much to contribute
to the <i>happiness </i>of others.<br />
So how do you become a <i>happy </i>person? Take these 4 simple steps:</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Every day when you first wake
up and at various points during the day spend some time envisioning yourself as
a happy person. Picture yourself laughing, smiling, relaxing. Imagine yourself
as happy. The more you can fix this image of yourself as happy in your mind
then the easier it will be for you to truly become happy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">

by first determining that you want to be happy. Part of being happy is wanting
to be happy. Once you have committed yourself to the course of finding
happiness for yourself then you must rid yourself of the notion that happiness
is luck or based on possessions or persons. No thing and no one can make you
happy. Happiness comes from within yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that they will spend much of their lives either unhappy or at least not really
happy. However we have all seen those people who do seem to be genuinely happy
with their lives. They smile frequently, laugh often, and seem to be in good
humor most of the time. Yet this is not because they are richer or more
successful. Sometimes these people were just born with the good fortune to have
an optimistic outlook that life has not yet knocked out of them, but often
these people have simply chosen that they will be happy and they recognize that
there is always something about their lives that makes them happy. You know
this is true of yourself as well. Concentrate on the areas of your life that
give you happiness whenever you feel unhappiness seeping in and no matter what
assume that you will be, you can be, a happy person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

wonderful accident of fate. Happiness is rarely found by accident. While you
may find happiness in unexpected places you must first open yourself to the
possibility of happiness and prepare yourself to accept it when you find it.
Some people are so miserable that they step right around happiness when they
encounter. Don't let this happen to you. What is more, don't simply sit at home
waiting for <i>happiness </i>to come knocking on your door. Go out and live life.
Think about what currently makes you <i>happy </i>and spend time in those activities
and think about what might make you happy and spend time experimenting. The
more time you spend actively living your life then the more likely that you
will also lead a <i>happy </i>life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">A happy,
healthy marriage can be a cause of strength and joy for you, but you will only
get out of it what you put into it. If you begin developing healthy habits in
your marriage today, the investment will definitely pay off later. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">if you
learn these admirable habits now, you are not only going to make your marriage
simple to live with, you are going to make it a pleasure to live with! Start
learning these seven habits of a healthy, happy marriage today.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a> <o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-AU">1- Let
it go</span></b><span lang="EN-AU">: If you are a
mom, you are always right. This attitude can be the downfall of a marriage.
Whether you are right or not is never the issue. The real issue is if you are
going to allow the issue to pass. You don't need to be right every time. In
fact, you don't ever need the recognition of being right. Let it go. If an
argument begins to surface, don't allow it to do damage. Be willing to be wrong
(even if you are right). Just refuse to argue. There have been plenty of times
when I knew that I knew that I knew I was right. And instead of arguing, I just
said a simple, "okay, honey!" Being right is not nearly as important
as making your marriage work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-AU">2- Pour
on the sugar :</span></b><span lang="EN-AU">
There is no getting around it, men are known for their egos. Instead of
fighting it, work with it. Go heavy with the complements. I remember one time
when I really wanted to watch a movie and Blair could not figure out a way to
hook up the new system we had just bought. He was ready to give up when I said,
"You're always so smart with this kind of stuff. I have no idea how you do
it, but you always figure out a way to make it work. You amaze me." I
don't know how he did it, but in less than 20 minutes, I was watching that
movie! Everything tastes better with a pinch of sugar, so lay it on thick. Even
if you have to search high and low, find something you can compliment him on
and do it-a lot! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-AU">3- Put his needs first:</span></b><span lang="EN-AU"> This is the best habit to have in a
marriage. Try it for 30 days and see for yourself if it doesn't work wonders.
Always put his needs first. For some reason, "serving" has gotten a
bad rap in recent years. But there is real strength in learning to serve others
in love. And it always comes back to bless you in ways you could have never
expected. Try it for yourself. Make him a cup of coffee in the morning. Go
ahead and iron those clothes for him to wear to work. I always fill up the tank
in Blair's car when I'm using it to run errands on the weekends. These kinds of
actions are not signs of weakness, but signs of strength. Only someone who has
a rock-solid character would ever be able to serve truly another in love
without expecting anything in return. He may not reciprocate immediately, but
just give it time. He will. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-AU">4- Don't nag and don't threat: </span></b><span lang="EN-AU">The only thing nagging and
threatening will do in a marriage is push those two people further and further
apart. Don't let it happen. Sure, there are some things you wish he would do,
but nagging will not ever work. If you really want something to change, try to
sandwich the request between a compliment and an offer. For example, if you
want him to pick up his dirty clothes from the bathroom floor, here's how you
may present it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">* First,
the compliment: You are such a huge help around the house. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">* Second,
the request: Do you think you could just toss those clothes in the hamper when
you take them off? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">* Third,
the offer: Is there something I can do for you to make it easier? Maybe move
the hamper closer? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">Now, here's
the trick. If he still doesn't do it, let it go. Go ahead and pick them up and
toss them in for him (without telling him you did it). Remember, when you serve
with love you will be blessed in return. Just be the better person and let it
go. It's just a little bit of effort, really, and you will be building a better
marriage because it. Accept your husband as he is without expecting or
demanding a change. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-AU">5- Honor
him-on and off the court:</span></b><span lang="EN-AU"> One mistake a lot of moms makes in their marriage is to not truly honor
their husbands. A husband and wife should always honor each other in a
marriage. You could say, "why should I honor him if he doesn't honor
me?" Well, mama, it's got to start somewhere. Be the better person. Noah
Webster's 1828 dictionary provides this definition of the word, 'honor.' A
testimony of esteem; any expression of respect or of high estimation by words
or actions. To honor someone means you hold them in high esteem, with great
respect and high value. You cannot badmouth your husband to your friends or
gripe about him in front of your kids and maintain honor in your marriage. Honour
has to be a quality that you have "on and off the court" when it
comes to your marriage. Build a habit of honouring your husband with your words
and your actions when you are with him and even when you are not. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-AU">6- Be
grateful</span></b><span lang="EN-AU">: Gratitude
goes a long, long way in a marriage. When you can train your thoughts to be
grateful for your husband, you will be pulling more and more of that positive behaviour
out of him. It's a huge step in faith
that will pay off later. Don't focus on his faults. Find those qualities that
you love about your husband and let that be where your thoughts are centred. If
you only focus on what is going wrong, that is the only thing you are going to
be bringing out in your marriage. Instead, focus on what is going right! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-AU">7- Live
by the motto,"I'm better than that!"</span></b><span lang="EN-AU"> Whenever you feel that anger boiling or that
voice wanting to lash out, say this mantra to yourself: "I'm better than
that." You are better than demanding that you are right. You are better
than pulling the silent treatment. You are better than nagging and belittling.
You were created for a marriage that is fulfilling and exciting. It has to
begin somewhere, so let it begin with you. We live in a society that tears down
marriage left and right, so you need to be willing to fight for it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
Deciding to be <b><i>happy </i></b>is being capable to recognize the easy things in life that we can derive happiness from. I am providing this list in hopes that you can look inside your life and recognize the happiness that already exists and how you can carry it out or how to bring more happiness into your life. Here's how you can decide to be happy.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Meditation </b>- This is a technique you can use to remove the unnecessary clutter and negativity from your thoughts that can cloud your ability to recognize happiness in your life. Clear the cobwebs and learn to think clearly again.<br />
<b>The friends in your life</b> - Cherish the friendships in your life and the happiness they bring. Don't take your friends for granted. Invite them over for a dinner party or barbeque. Let them see how appreciative you are for having them in your life.<br />
<b>Having good health</b> - Don't take your good health for granted. Be happy for the blessings of good health and be good to your body, don't abuse it. Moderation is the key.<br />
<b>Family </b>- Strengthen the family bonds you have. Your family can bring a lot of happiness to your life. If the bonds are broken, work on mending them.<br />
<b>Be thankful each day</b> - When you wake up each morning give thanks for the wonderful things in your life. Send those sentiments of gratitude out to God or to the universe and watch how much happier you feel throughout your day. We have a tendency as humans to dwell on the negative and see the glass as half empty rather than half full. By giving thanks for all the blessings in your life, big or small, you are allowing more room for happiness to reside.<br />
<b>Feed your spiritual void</b> - When we are spiritually full, we are transcended into another realm of thinking. We discover ways of finding more meaning and happiness in our lives more easily. We dwell on positive things and discard ugly habits such as judgmentalism, criticism, cynicism, bitterness, and strife. These things harbor unhappiness within.<br />
creatures that need to be with others and not always alone. Loneliness breeds unhappiness. To love and be loved is happiness in a bottle. <br />
<b>Biofeedback</b>- If you have difficulty in choosing your thoughts, this is a technique you can use to bring more positive thinking in your life. Remember controlling your thoughts and removing negativity can bring you instant happiness.<br />
<b>Have a sense of direction </b>- We must have projects, work, something to feel productive about in our lives, or a set of goals that we aspire to. This brings happiness into our lives. The feeling of nonproductivity leaves one feeling useless and unhappy.<br />
<b>Avoid conflict </b>- One way to remain happy is to maintain good relationships with people. Whether it is with a coworker, a friend, a family member, or the cashier at the grocery store. When you are hostile to others it has a way of coming back to you like a boomerang. Be patient with the people you encounter and be good to your fellowman. This will bring peace and happiness into your life. <br />
<b>Do for others </b>- When you do kind acts for others it bounces back to you in the form of joy and happiness. No matter how small, go out of your way to do something nice for someone. It pays big happiness dividends.<br />
<b><i>Find an emotional connection</i></b> - Having a meaningful relationship with another person can bring a lot of happiness to our lives. We are social<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z8WnuFyeRKc/UvujcXv8b5I/AAAAAAAADc8/hHemOGlkrJM/s1600/happiness.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="happiness" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z8WnuFyeRKc/UvujcXv8b5I/AAAAAAAADc8/hHemOGlkrJM/s1600/happiness.jpg" height="216" title="happiness" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The admirable advice is that we can select how <b><i>happy </i></b>we want to be. <br />
When you feel <b><i>unhappy</i></b>, you automatically assume it is due to a lack of something. You currently begin to desire material things hoping it will fill that void that you feel. Maybe it's a new car, or a new house, or a new job. You begin to anticipate these things, waiting for your <b><i>happiness </i></b>to attain. When the quick fixes don't arrive the unhappiness still exists.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The root of the problem stems from a distorted self-perception. The perception you carry of yourself can sabotage any chance you have of happiness. The first step in adopting a life of happiness commences by changing your self-concept.<br />
<br />
You must believe you can be happy at whatever stage of life's journey you are at. When I suffered my stroke at 37, it was a very trying period of my life that made me feel very fearful and sad. The recuperation from brain surgery left me feeling helpless and unhappy. I didn't know how long my recuperation process would last but I realized I had to do something to bring some joy and happiness back into my life.<br />
<br />
I made the decision to work with the impoverished, helping to restore a clinic that was destroyed in an earthquake. My happiness was instantly restored. I felt happy for life and living. I recognized that happiness is a choice and I chose to do something to bring back some joy and happiness to my life. I felt happy for each breath I was able to take. I gave thanks each day for the chance to awake to see my family.<br />
<br />
You too can claim your happiness. You too can make that decision to find happiness in your life. No one expects you to be perfect. You are the one that hold yourself to perfection. Find ways to restore peace and joy in your life and observe how much more success you will achieve. Events in your life will flow smoother, relationships will be more meaningful and life will be sweeter.<br />
<br />
The sooner you agree that happiness is a decision, and that you can select to be happy, the sooner you will begin to sense <i>happiness </i>transferring through you. Make that decision now!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793634975970466081.post-69373365893905820362014-02-12T08:11:00.003-08:002014-02-12T08:11:41.796-08:00Real happiness is whatever you make it<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ts3Va_Queu4/Uvuc3SkTchI/AAAAAAAADcs/F221ybAF4ZA/s1600/10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Real happiness" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ts3Va_Queu4/Uvuc3SkTchI/AAAAAAAADcs/F221ybAF4ZA/s1600/10.jpg" height="305" title="Real happiness" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The question or judgment of true, real <b><i>happiness </i></b>is profound within your mind, eyes, heart, spirit and soul and when these all extent out to the very same thing, then we comprehend what our true sincere <b><i>happiness </i></b>is. observe all of them must be in attachment in order for the real happiness to be the most sincere one that we will know in our lives. When some are separate or have different happinesses, that is when the fake happiness is gained by us, that temporary happiness. <br />
<a name='more'></a>For example, a person becalms there,sad and sullen, completely unhappy, perhaps fearful and anxious. That person falsely senses that lawless drugs will make him happy. The person's eyes and emotions and mind are not connected, not believing the same truth. The person's eyes and feelings want the illegal drugs. Yet, the person's mind knows and sees and believes that the drug is bad and also knows that there conceivably might be grave negative consequences if they take those drugs. If they didn't affirm it was negative then they would not hide the drug use but do it out in the open, but most drug users and abusers (before they are completely hooked) do their drugs in secrecy; they hide the drugs and they hide themselves from their colleagues and family while they are doing the illegal act. So, they are not fully connected to themselves, and when they are not truly joined to themselves they can make only opposing choices which always give them false, temporary happiness. So, only negative happiness, fake happiness or temporary happiness comes when a person's mind, spirit, eyes, soul and brain are separate, making separate decisions.<br />
YOU, only you, know what makes you happy. And when you think you have found your true sincere happiness, you need to ask yourself is your entire mind, body, eyes, spirit and soul connected and agreeing with your happiness choice? If they are all connected then you truly have found your real happiness in your life.<br />
Happiness is what you want to make it and happiness, true sincere happiness will bring you closer towards your goals. When you are truly connected to every bit of yourself, you will make decisions that are connected to the real you and you will begin to experience real happiness. That is your answer. Only you know what makes you happy. So where do you being? How do you start this quest? Do you prance out on your horse, like Don Quixote, fighting imaginary enemies that are windmills? Do you waste any time like that at all? No one knows. Only you know. However, I will offer some ideas, some suggestions, some thoughts that might bring you closer to your goal of finding real, true, and sincere happiness.<br />
Here are some things,events, hobbies and causes you can get,join and follow up on to see if any of these bring you closer to your real happiness. Try some of these (if they sound interesting to you).<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">People are often converged on their goals. Instead these are habits I admire
to do and want to make sure I make period for them in my active schedule.
Writing them down helps me keep them in the top of my mind. For the most part
they are activities I've been doing in previous years and I know they do a lot
for my well being. What causes you happy?</span></div>
<a name='more'></a> <o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">1. <b>Meditation time each day</b> : <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;"> This is a practice I am developing
with the assistance of a coach friend. I adore doing it but get so involved in
my work taking time for this is often challenging. I've set up a special calm
place in my home to do this that is inviting and restful. It facilitates having
a coach remind me too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">2. <b>Two weeks of vacation time</b> : <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;"> This is something I instituted 3
years ago when I noticed that some years went by with no real vacation. I try
to find something untimely in the year to put on my calendar for July.
Sometimes I split the vacation time so there is some left for later in the
year. Knowing it is on my calendar in January gives me something to look
forward to. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">3. <b>Read at least one book a month that is non work related</b> : <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;"> I have a book club that keeps me
honest on this one. I've been doing this for about 5 years now and have read a
variety of books both fiction and non fiction. This month was the autobiography
of Sidney Poitier and last month In the Heart of the Sea, a book about the
whaling ship, Essex, that sank in the 1800s. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">4. <b>Exercise three times a week</b> : <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;"> OK I said these are habits I care to
do but not this one. I just like the way I feel after I am done! Amazingly even
though I don't admire it I am very good about doing this regularly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">5. <b><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">One totally free day each month with no agenda</span></b><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span> : <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;"> Not so long ago Massachusetts had
blue laws that kept all stores closed on Sunday. That meant Sunday was a really
quiet day. I desire the peace and quiet of having nothing scheduled. You aptly
can tell I am a planner so not planning is hard for me but when I do it I love
it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">6. <b><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">One concert or play each month</span></b><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span> : <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;"> Since I love music this one isn't
arduous either. During the month of December I went to two different Christmas
Concerts. I like religious music of all types. (I sing in a Gospel Choir)
December is a really good month for hearing this kind of music. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">7. <b><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Try something I've never done</span></b><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span> : <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;"> I try to do something fresh every
year. Last year I went to the opera in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the year before I
sang a solo at a workshop in Italy and another year I learned Yoga. This year
who knows maybe I'll take up painting, do an improv class, or try ball room
dancing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">8. <b><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">More flowers in the house</span></b><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span> : <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">

bring lots of flowers into the house. This winter I picked up some winter
evergreens to spread throughout my home but there is nothing like a beautiful
flower to lift my spirits. In December I bought a beautiful rose for my kitchen
table and today I bought a lovely flowering primrose plant that sits on my
kitchen window. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">9.<b><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Grandchildren Time</span></b>:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Nothing is more fun for me than spending time with my
grandchildren. Last year I took my granddaughter to her first ballet. It was
special performance of Cinderella for young children. She loved it and I loved
watching her enjoy it. The same day I took my grandson out for an ice cream
cone and scooter ride</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">.<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Another way to relax is to get away from it all for an hour or so. I enjoy it
when I do it but unless I put it on my calendar I forget about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">According to Wray Herbert as stated in the Newsweek-
“research shows that our brains have certain hardwired propensities that might
be exploited. For example, our brains tend to register frequently heard facts
as true, even if they are patently false. As a result, our memories and beliefs
are highly malleable and unreliable. We also tend, if unchecked by the
conscious reasoning mind, to focus overly on risk, inconvenience,
hassles—anything negative. “ Does it not therefore make sense to change our
thinking to change our habits and thereby change our life? Read the following
paragraph.</span></div>

raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? What this
proves is that our brains get used to the way we think. Our brain has a mind of
its own that it develops due to the habits that we form. If we are constantly
thinking negative thoughts, our brain circuitry gets hard wired to think in the
negative realm and on the other hand optimists who think positively tend to
hard wire their brains in a positive frame. The glass half full or half
empty!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18pt; margin: 7.5pt 0cm 0.0001pt; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Now, cover your right eye with your hand,
then (using your left eye) look at the small cross to the right side of the
image. Slowly moving your head towards the screen, while looking at the cross,
at a certain point, the red dot will disappear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18pt; margin: 7.5pt 0cm 0.0001pt; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">That’s because the red dot is now in your
blind spot, where the optic nerve joins the back of your eye. But here’s the
cool bit: the space where the red dot was gets filled in with the blue lines
around it. Your brain fills in the space with what it thinks should be there,
using whatever is around it! Isn’t that interesting?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18pt; margin: 7.5pt 0cm 0.0001pt; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Yet again, we see how our brain reacts. It
automatically finds solutions to its perceived problems. Once again it digs
into its data bank to find the correct solution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18pt; margin: 7.5pt 0cm 0.0001pt; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Now, let’s put it all in perspective.
Let’s say you are the kind of person that sees the glass half full. You wake up
and realize that you are 20 minutes late and now have to rush like a maniac and
you will probably miss your 8.00 o-clock bus. Instead of cursing and panicking
(because that is just the way you are), you decide to enjoy your morning coffee
and take a taxi to work instead. After all you don’t do that all the time so
you see it as a luxury. You call your office and explain that you may be 15 -20
min late but you will still be there. You go out to hail a taxi and see a huge
queue, you panic momentarily, but your sunny disposition does not allow that
for long and you stand there listening to your iPod and smiling. Suddenly you
feel a tap on your shoulder. You turn around and the person points you to
someone who is waving at you. It is your colleague who is driving to work
offering you a lift. Viola, problem solved. You are at work on time and you did
not even pay for the taxi. You have a great day at work and the same colleague
offers you a lift back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18pt; margin: 7.5pt 0cm 0.0001pt; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Take two- same scenario, but you always
see the glass half empty, the world is a miserable place and people are all out
to get you. You wake up 20 minutes late, you curse and panic and inadvertently
tip the lamp. It shatters to the floor. You curse more and scream at your
spouse, helper, whoever is around to take your abuse. You have no time for
breakfast so you rush out without even a cup of coffee. You have missed the bus
and the taxi queue is long. You are angry, hungry and cursing. You don’t smile
at anyone and keep cursing under your breath. People around you can feel your
negativity and move away from you. Your colleague drives past, tries to get
your attention, but you don’t seem to notice him and no one taps your shoulder,
he drives away. You are hungry and irritable. You are massively late to work
and your boss is really angry because you forgot to inform him/her about your

circumstances. Many times however, we feel that we do not have control over the
outcome. We may not have control over the outcome but we always have control
over our outlook. Our habits form our attitude and our attitude forms our
outlook, which in turn creates circumstances. So, it makes sense to change our
habits and thereby change our circumstances. Get into the habit of seeing the

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">It is after all a matter of perspective
and training your brain. It was thought that at around the age of 30 our brain
capacity has been maximized and it is all downhill from there on . It has now
been proven that the brain is highly malleable and trainable. It can be trained
right till the day we leave this planet. Research is constantly being done to
show the brains capacity to synthesize new brain cells and form new patterns.

<b>Definition of happiness</b><br />
Happiness is much more than can be described by an article, some people describe as a sense of happiness that you feel when you realize that everything is true and it also must be, and others know as a sense of happiness that you feel when you achieve your goals<br />
And others describe access to internal peace and contentment.<br />

<br />
Happiness is something different for each person<br />
This means that what a person is happy can only be happy someone else, there are people would be happy if he became rich, but for someone else may not represent money anything. And so it would be wrong to say that money can not buy happiness because in some special cases happiness depends on money because happiness is relative. Usually be happy when you get something that meets an unmet need - for example - if you suffer from insecurity for your financial future there will be nothing makes you happy only get the money while when alone there would be nothing makes you happy only intimate relationship.<br />
<br />
But what if you need more than one thing? What if you are alone and at the same time suffering from insecurity? In this case, finding an intimate relationship will make you happy but over time you will get used to it and you will feel after you are unhappy because of the lack of physical security.<br />

You might wonder many of us Is it possible that we gain happiness of life in which we live, whether in abundance money and riches or the job or anything that may be considered human that brings happiness to him, but in fact, happiness found in our bodies all, as there is a substance called serotonin (5 - hydroxy Althriptamen or short 5-HT), a monoamine neurotransmitter made in the nerve endings which assume Alserottuih within the central nervous system to the brain and in cells Alkromavinih internal digestive<br />
Says Dr. Mohamed Adel railway, <br />
<a name='more'></a>Professor of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University, plays this article an important role in organizing the mood rights and organize happiness, so also called hormone happiness, solve problems, and focus also affects sleep and appetite, and memory, and the ability to learn, and temperature body, and the performance of the work of the heart and muscles. While the imbalance in the concentration of this hormone leads to depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety and phobias, premature ejaculation and change of sexual desire, and have also played a role in the disease, migraines, has led the discovery of the hormone to a revolution in the treatment of depressive illness, where it was noted that most of the patients depression have less from the normal level of serotonin in the brain, which has encouraged scientists to invent a new generation of antidepressant drugs, which are raising the level of substance serotonin in the brain.<br />
Before the discovery of the hormone was observed that the sport and walk for half an hour a day five times a week, improves mood and helps in the treatment of depression. After the discovery of the hormone show that sport and movement significantly affect the level of the hormone serotonin in the body, and we feel so when we finished the sport, such as running, swimming and others. The feeling back then relieved and recreation that the body gets rid of stress and muscle, and works to balance the levels of hormones in the body, and increases the secretion of serotonin. We feel comfortable and calm, and man can resist a new strain, all the positive effects on the body makes sports and movement of desirable things to our lives without stress or fatigue.<br />
There serotonin in some plants such as nuts (walnuts) that contains serotonin by 300 micrograms per gram. There is also the pineapple, peach, cherry, banana, plum tomatoes, cocoa, and in all that is produced from cocoa like chocolate, all those plants contain a proportion of serotonin greater than 1 microgram - grams. And turkey meat contains high levels of tryptophan, which turns the body into serotonin.<br />
In addition to the above, each person has many other hormones that play other roles in such happiness as Andorvinz (Endorphins): gives you a good sense, and reduces anxiety and improves your sensitivity of pain, and the body can be obtained through the exercise. And baptized many of narcotic substances to get high on the mood, such as heroin and morphine and Altermadol. And also the hormone dopamine (Dopamine) you can get it through the chocolate and cocoa, and has a greater impact on women. And plays a major role in the motivation to work, to make decisions and deficiency leads to dull and indifference.<br />
Finally (Ghrelin) a hormone that reduces the pressures of life and gives you a sense of relaxation, and secretion of the hormone in the body, if you feel hungry. And increase the excretion of large quantities without control may lead to obesity.<br />

To say that one wants to be happy in life may bring about differing ideals and perspectives as the term to be happy may differ from one person to another. Being happy is a state of mind that only one person can answer; and that is you. In the sense that relates to personal development, happiness is considered individualistic and is reflective of the persons current state. As this is person specific, no one from the outside can determine your current state of happiness, but they can help to influence that state to help make you a happier person.<br />

<div id="chitikaSelectBeacon420" style="float: left;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Dependent on the person, their values, and the goals that they have in life, happiness can be achieved through many different perspectives. When thinking about this concept more you must be cognizant about your own defining purpose in life. Ultimately, you define what drives you and what you want to achieve out of life so this definition has to come from within. Does your happiness come from financial stability and security? Does it come from the personal success stories of your children? Does it stem from some other achieving goal in life that drives you to want to succeed?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
When looking at your own inner self and trying to define personal satisfaction, one may consider the following aspects in life:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
- Materialistic possessions; This brings up much for discussion as society, the media, and people in general assume that possessions automatically create a happy state of mind. For some, this may be the case, but for others it may not be. Some people that see it one way or another may ultimately change their own perspectives over-time.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Some people would attest that having a big house, owning fancy cars, or being able to take exotic vacations make them happy. This may be true, but in time the nostalgia of this perspective can change as the realization may occur that money cannot buy everything. In this case, the expression of wanting what you have instead of not having what you want would seem relevant.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
- Relationships; A healthy relationship that is enduring may produce many positive aspects in one's life. These positives may translate into happiness if your overriding goals are reflective of this, but if not, it can give you a false sense of satisfaction. On the other hand, some people find that they would rather be alone than go through some of the trials and tribulations that come with a failed relationship. This occurs with many who have been in a relationship that did not work out as they are faced with the conclusion that they would be happier while being alone. Some people may even fear being alone so they end up being unhappy in a relationship so they do not have to face their fears.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Gratitude; this brings a wealth of satisfaction to some people. Being gracious is an extension of one's self to serve the needs, desires, and salvation of others, and is typically viewed as an unselfish act. To show gratitude can be done in many ways as it can also be constituted by minimal effort on the part of the person being gracious. A simple Thank You is something that goes along way and takes little or no effort to accomplish. Happiness can occur as a result, but more so when the act is considered pure and natural.</div>

Being an accomplished author and having written many academia articles on various topics, I have decided to give back to communities through insightful articles with shared perspectives. In doing this, I am hoping to instill confidence in others within a community where we can all be ourselves. Join a community with others who have similar interests, passions, and life perspectives.</div>

<b>Forgiveness </b>is more than conscious<strong>.</strong> It involves letting go of the deep subconscious feelings your anger has left behind<strong>.</strong> Therefore, when you decide to forgive you also need to be mindful that you may think you've moved on, but the hurt lags behind<strong>.</strong> Its easy to think you're forgiving, but when you dig deep or things remind you of what has upset you, the anger and pain will show you whether you have really forgiven or not<strong>.</strong></div>

When you're angry, so many things are often said that you wish you could take back, or get through to the person you are mad at<strong>.</strong> However, sometimes your feelings and wishes fall on deaf ears and this is the time to let go - trusting you have done all you can to rectify the situation<strong>.</strong></div>

True forgiveness of others & particularly yourself is what is required to move on<strong>.</strong> Where the self forgiveness comes in, is when you are criticizing yourself for putting yourself in a certain situation, not standing up for yourself earlier, and so on<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
We need to understand we are human and therefore fallible<strong>.</strong> When you love someone, it's amazing how much you will excuse and put up with<strong>.</strong> These things are often things you would strongly advise your close friends to walk away from<strong>.</strong> So, don't be too hard on yourself for past mistakes<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
The mistakes you make in life are in the past - they are gone<strong>.</strong> So too are the mistakes others have made. You can choose to hold on to anger and pain and live in the past, or you can choose to move forward - forgive & let go<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
We often assume if we forgive someone that has hurt us he/she gets away with hurting us without being punished<strong>.</strong> However, we need to ask ourselves "does holding on to deep anger really punish the person<strong>?</strong>". Even if you decide a persons behaviour has resulted in you no longer wanting the relationship, you can do this without holding on to the anger and pain<strong>.</strong> It can be challenging, but if you hold on to the negative emotions, you are the one who suffers most<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
So if you're holding on to anything negative in the past, or present, tell yourself today "I'm finally letting go and moving forward<strong>.</strong>"</div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

We are born and we die. But in between there is opportunity. That opportunity is for happiness and one of the ingredients in happiness is growth.</div>
<div id="chitikaSelectBeacon884" style="color: #333333; float: left; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Growth, or non-growth, is so pervasive in our society that one of the tenets of novel writing is that the characters must grow or change in some visible manner. One grows from a boy to man, another one grows from wicked to good, one grows from good to evil. The hero is flawed but his flaws are lessened or overcome as the story proceeds.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
But this not only the stuff of fiction. It is also the material of real life. If one is not growing in this life, then one is dying. Such is the way of the world and the nature of that world. Would you be happy? Then you must grow.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
First, you need to grow in your connection to The All There Is, which I will name Tathis - a combination of letters from The All There Is. Happiness resides in your relationship with this Tathis. It is you making yourself vibrate in resonance with Tathis. All the Universe is one gigantic vibrational field of which you are a real part.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
You are an individuation of Tathis. When you remember who you are and what you are, you begin to align yourself with Tathis. You be still and know. You connect your mind and emotions with the vibrational field of the Universe.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This linkage with Tathis will grow over the days and years of your devotion to keeping that attachment alive and well. Sustained effort in making yourself resonate with the vibrations of the Universe will cause your happiness to grow and grow until nothing outside of yourself can destroy that happiness and the peace it brings.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Your mind and emotions will grow as you expand your happiness. Your happiness will grow as you expand your mind and emotions.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Second, you grow yourself by giving that happiness away. This is not depriving yourself of happiness, or decreasing the amount you have. Actually when you give love away in this manner you only increase it within yourself. You add to the well-intentioned vibrations of the Cosmos by offering what you have to others.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
That offering can take more forms that I could possible mention in this space. But here are a few: Feed the hunger, shelter the unsheltered, clothe the naked, educate the ignorant, heal the sick, teach happiness to all who will listen, give sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, teach the sad to laugh, the teary-eyed to smile.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Third, understand that being happy and growing are neither virtue nor non-virtue. They are simply the meaning of life. For example, it seems that the meaning of the life of the Universe was to produce... us.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The meaning of the life of the Universe was to produce beings who could observe the comings and goings of the basic particles of life. In a way, this is what quantum science is about.</div>

True happiness is a direct result of being grateful<strong>.</strong> Now you understand that happiness is a choice<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Happiness is the end result of certain thoughts and activities<strong>.</strong> It releases a chemical reaction in your body and this reaction results in euphoria<strong>.</strong> While this is elusive to some, it is completely under your control<strong>.</strong> From now on, make your smile your calling card<strong>.</strong> It is the strongest weapon in your arsenal. Your smile will break the ice, put others at ease and people will instantly warm to you and be drawn to your wonderful energy<strong>.</strong> Use your smile constantly. Always smile first and you will let everyone you come into contact with know what you expect in return<strong>.</strong><br />

<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Smiling is a choice and when you choose to master your emotions, be happy and smile, you show the world you possess a grateful spirit<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Watch the magic you create around you<strong>!</strong> Miracles will start to happen.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Today your exercise is to smile with sincerity as your greeting to everyone you come into contact with face to face or speak to over the telephone<strong>.</strong> Like yawning, smiling can be contagious. Imagine how you can share your happiness with others and change their attitude without saying a word<strong>.</strong> Happiness can be yours and we are also giving you the ability to give happiness to others<strong>.</strong> Change the world, one smile at a time<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Remember, happiness is a choice! You can determine in any given moment whether to be happy or not<strong>.</strong> Remember a time when you were not happy and someone shared a smile with you or a few kind words and how it changed the way you felt<strong>.</strong> You can have the same impact on others and help others change by choosing happiness as your constant state of being<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
As the saying goes, people will forget what you say and they will forget what you do, but they never forget how you made them FEEL<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
This simple step and such a simple act, can change your world in an instant<strong>.</strong> Take a minute to write down what your experiences were today with people, just by smiling<strong>.</strong> How did this impact on you and your ability to get things done with this person<strong>?</strong> Were they more responsive and keen to assist you?</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
With passion, enthusiasm and happiness, you can change everything<strong>.</strong> Decide now, in this moment, to be happy.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">

<br />
<div id="article-content" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<em><strong>The year is 2013 and you are looking back on the past 10 years of your life... evaluating... reflecting...</strong></em></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Did I make a difference? </strong>When you know your life purpose and what you are here to do, your life has meaning. What was the meaning of the past 10 years of your life?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Most people miss out on discovering their purpose, and this prevents them from being truly happy. We all want to know that we are unique, important, and special. But for people who are living self focused, and self absorbed lives happiness is elusive. Feelings of emptiness, or that something's missing is what fills the time that isn't occupied with meaningless to do lists, schedules, routines and busyness. Is most of this done just to keep the deep emotions away? To control every aspect of life in an attempt to control the feelings that they fear the most? Yet, these unwelcome feelings persist.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Are you a human doing, or a human being?</strong> One of the worst things for many is to have quiet time alone because the empty feelings can be overwhelming. It's a sign that something in your life needs to change. Now you only need to find the courage to change it. Can you find 20 seconds of courage regularly throughout the day? Your life can change 20 seconds at a time with a new decision.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Happiness is not found in the momentary pleasures of more things that money can buy. That's why so many mega lottery winners wind up broke and unhappy within two years. The Hollywood model of fame and fortune is filled with the relentless unhappiness of multiple divorces, drug and alcohol addictions, and wondering who isn't interested in using you and taking from you.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Believing that happiness is found in the pursuit of more achievement and stuff can provide moments of pleasure, but it's all superficial fluff. It doesn't keep the emptiness away. Digging deep, just below the surface there's underlying sadness, and people will fill their lives with the most unimportant things in order to avoid feeling that.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>If it's not about me, what's life about?</strong> According to Human Needs Psychology, the only way to feel fulfilled is to grow and contribute beyond ourselves. For some people, lifelong learning for the purpose of sharing their wisdom is enough to make their hearts sing. What causes your creativity to flow? What makes your heart sing? What can you do that causes time to fly by?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
We all know people who make us feel good when we are around them. Can you make a stranger smile today? Can you give someone a gift by your words that they will remember and cherish? Imagine what that might be...</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>How do you feel about your future? </strong>What do you imagine your life to be like 10 years from now? If you know that your life is filled with purpose, you can easily imagine a bright future. The sense of aliveness with how you can contribute to that purpose is a motivating force for so many who have discovered their Why. Why am I here?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>It's all in your hands.</strong> What do you want the next 10 years of your life to be like? When you look back in 10 more years... <strong>Will you have lived fully? Will you have loved completely? Will you have found your purpose?</strong> Your true happiness is really just a side effect, or a byproduct of living your purpose. You can wake up every day feeling happy no matter what the circumstances. Will you write a new chapter in your life, or continue your old story? Help is only a mouse click or phone call away.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<em>Every day you lose another chance to make your life the incredible adventure you deserve. Pretty soon you run out of days. Decide!</em></div>
</div>

Most people say they want to change something in their life, or fix their relationship, but they go through their whole lives without doing it. If you are serious about creating real results in your life</div>

<b>Happiness </b>can be a <b>habit</b>. It is the result of a right living and thinking. It is also the result of a good physical and mental</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
health. If people are contented and prayerful, then we will attain happiness. It is one of the best things in life that are free.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
You should live a well-balanced, well-moderated and well-planned life. Moderation is the keynote of contentment and happiness.We should develop simple but healthy habits. We should not cling to material things but we should learn how to live a simple life, how to give love to our families and friends, and how to surrender our problems to God.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Take a lot of time to think. Be broadminded in your viewpoints. People may not always agree with you unless they want to be the winner of every argument. True friendship is sometimes best seen in disagreement rather than in compliance. Learn to listen carefully. Fifty percent of what you hear might be correct and fifty percent might be wrong.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Do your work with pleasure and complete satisfaction and make sure you love it. There is nothing more distasteful than doing the things that you hate to do. Be productive so that you can view everything, including your employer's criticisms as positive remarks which will be for your betterment.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Learn how to be grateful for it is the highest law of God. Without it, there can be no love and no charity. Gratitude is not a sign of weakness but a sign of greatness. Lend your ears to those people who need your presence. Help them if you think that your help can add to the alleviation of their pain, sorrow, and unhappiness. Give them the advice that they need for them to be happy and don't satisfy your own. Make it sure that everything you say will make sense to them and will not contradict or offend them. Be charitable and generous. You do not need to give more than what you cannot afford to, but you should still give as long as the cause is good. However, remember that you cannot give what you do not have. So in order to truly help people, you must give something that you really possess and not that is stolen or taken from others.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Live your every day as if it is your last. Feel that today is the most important day of your life and you may die tomorrow. The yesterdays and the tomorrows are but hopes and dreams, but today is the day that you are called upon to live. Cultivate positive mental attitudes of love, charity, and understanding rather than the negative phase of hate, envy and fear. Over thinking could be stressful so instead, pray and have some time for reflection to help you reminisce the moments and learn from your mistakes.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Learn to be thrifty. Remember that little drops make the big rivers. Plan to earn more and avoid extravagance. Make money as a means to an end but never as an end. Remember that material things could vanish but your basic needs will always be a necessity.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Plan and study every move you make; and once you arrived at a decision, follow it through without flinching. Your matured judgment must not only be good but trustworthy and you must trust to the end. Confusions in thoughts and acts are oftentimes influenced by indecisions. Like the game of chess, one wrong move due to haste in deciding will ruin everything and may result to complete loss.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
No man is an island or can never live alone. Use the services of trusted men around you. Learn to collaborate with people and you will learn from each other. A good team and a good teamwork spell the difference between success and failure. Remember, it is easy to succeed as well as to fail for you all learn how to experience it together.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Cultivate the spirit of success in all your ventures and be enthusiastic, cheerful, and hardworking. These could easily be gained by directing your thoughts on clear, well-defined and altruistic aims. Further, a man who likes to succeed should temper justice with prudence, prejudice with love, hate with brotherhood, and extravagance with frugality.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. Talk of nice, inspiring, and prudent things to other people. Make it a point to do one act less of hate, jealousy, selfishness and egoism during your lifetime.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
You should develop competence and learn to be independent. Stand on your own feet and avoid the obnoxious habit of procrastination. Plan and systematize your life and your work, then leave the rest to God. However, don't shrink from too much obligations.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
When you are sad, blue or plain lazy, make up your mind to get busy. Work can do no harm to people irrespective of their age. It is always a tonic and a very good outlet for your emotions and tension. Do something that will help you forget all your worries or fears and at the same time, will help you accomplish something good.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Dream and develop a profession or an occupation no matter what is your status in life. Put yourself into it with all your might and success will be just around the corner. Maturity means hobbies like music, painting, writing, foreign language, books, nature, study, and social services. On the spiritual side, try to be always close to your God. Whatever religion or faith you may have, always remember that religion always inspires the basic good qualities of man.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Learn to love yourself and your neighbor. Spoil yourself with happiness and pleasures in life but do not forgive to share it to others too. Cherish people by devoting time bonding with them, hearing their stories and sharing happiness or whatever emotion that they feel as of the moment. You should give them real happiness for it is a priceless thing to prove that they are part of your life, and because you love them. Make them feel that you want them to be part of your journey and so you want them to be with you no matter what happens. Don't leave them walking alone unless wanted to do so. Through the spirit of giving and sharing, we learn how to give value or significance to others even without asking for anything in return and yet we are appy.</div>

<br />
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Thinking that you have failed is very depressing; going through a breakup or losing someone close to you<strong>.</strong> But while pain might strike you down, you should be able to withstand it to an extent and what does not break you only makes you stronger<strong>.</strong><br />
If you look at the successful and happy people in your life, you'll see that they have gone through a lot of drama and pain and immediately.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Faith is how they made it. Smiling at the next day and pretending that they know it's going to be better than the one before is how they made it<strong>.</strong> While you might believe in what you can hold with your hands, they believe in something different<strong>.</strong> They believe that happiness stems from inside the person and that is how they draw the smile on their faces<strong>.</strong><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
The funniest people are usually the saddest, but you can never be funny while you are sad<strong>.</strong> You might do something funny, but even if you laugh for a moment, you will return to your sadness the next<strong>.</strong> You cannot be sad and still make those around you happy and you cannot make a good joke when you are not in the mood to hear one<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
What you do to go through the next day with a smile on your face is not that complicated<strong>.</strong> Your mind complicates things even if they are simple because your mind is a very complex machine and while it might be able to complicate things, it can also simplify them<strong>.</strong> Instead of arguing about how this could have been, you could always make it be the next time and it's never too late, it's never the last chance<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Things happen for a reason, and while you might have failed an exam, what you are supposed to do is to get back up on your feet, work hard enough to pass the next one, even if it was a completely different exam<strong>.</strong> If you have gone through a breakup because your partner found someone else that they grew feelings for then you get back up, draw the charming smile on your face and go find something to do because love is going to find you<strong>.</strong> Cupid hits you when you least expect it and if you seek it, you will be seeking something that does not exist; something out of place<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Giving up is for the weak; for the ones who cannot stand on their feet when they are broken<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
The recipe is simple:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
1- Two cups of willingness</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
2- a pinch of courage</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
3- a lot of heat for motivation<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
You don't need anything to get back up except wanting to<strong>.</strong> Your feelings can easily be conquered and you are the one who is supposed to control that<strong>.</strong> You are the one who gets back up; you are the one who gets through with life<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">

When was the last moment you were truly happy, overcome with the feeling of delight, at peace with yourself, at peace with others<strong>?</strong> How many of those moments have you had this year, the past year, the year before..<strong>.</strong> ?</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
It is human nature that all of us long for happiness; yet, we fail to attain it because we do not understand it<strong>.</strong> We think: I will be happy once I finish school, I will be happy once I have money, I will be happy once I reach my goals, I will be happy once I lose weight, I will be happy once I find someone special, etc<strong>.</strong><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
However, we find that once we get the things we wanted, accomplished the things we wanted to, get married and have children-we are still unhappy, we may be just partially happy<strong>.</strong> We then think of other things to own and other things to achieve that will make us FINALLY HAPPY<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Understand, if you cannot be happy right now with yourself and with who you are, you are NOT going to be happy when you get the things that you thought would make you happy<strong>.</strong> You are unhappy because you waste away too much time "wishing, desiring, and thinking about the future<strong>.</strong>" You postpone your happiness until you get something, achieve something; you postpone your happiness to the uncertain future<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
The simple key to true happiness is purely: living to the fullest potential the moment you have right now<strong>.</strong> Be present with this very moment! Pay attention to this very moment! Focus on the moment you have right now<strong>.</strong> These moments are called, "Life Moments," the moments that truly give life meaning<strong>.</strong> They are the moments that when you are on your deathbed, you will look back, cherish, laugh, and weep with tears of joy<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
It was the moment you saw beauty in nature, it was the moment you began to love yourself, it was the humble moment, the powerful connection that you had with someone or something..<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
You will find that while you lie in your deathbed, the things you will regret are: I didn't love more, I didn't pay attention, I let months, years go by, I was self-fish, I was too busy thinking about the future..<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
If you want to truly be happy, make every moment a Life Moment<strong>.</strong> Really pay attention to what you are doing while you are doing it<strong>.</strong> Be present at the very moment; don't let your mind wonder, "what's next, what's next..<strong>.</strong> can't wait for lunch, can't wait to get off work, can't wait for the trip, can't wait for payday..<strong>.</strong> gotta do laundry, gotta run errands... "</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Right now is the ONLY moment you have<strong>.</strong> You can only be happy from moment to moment if you are present in every moment<strong>.</strong> We miss so much Life Moments because we race through life, because we have forgotten to be here..<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
People who don't have enough real moments eat more, they drink more, and they watch TV more-because they need stimulation in order to not feel the space of meaninglessness in their life; they need distraction in order to not feel the burden of emptiness in their life<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Next time you are talking to someone, doing something, let yourself be there entirely, let yourself wholeheartedly be in that very moment: you will find that when you sincerely connect to that person or thing, there is an inner, subtle balance within yourself which will overcome you with bliss<strong>.</strong> You will find splendor in every moment. You find nothing unpleasant and everything beautiful<strong>.</strong> You will find there is no time to "not be happy." You will find life is now<strong>!</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
The following passage from my upcoming book, Star Watchers illustrates the regret of life:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
"..<strong>.</strong> In the intensive care unit, years swept like days,<br />
Accumulating like growth rings on a tree's trunk<strong>.</strong><br />
Each new coat marks the passing of a year. The woman<br />
Aging with the evergreens outside the hospital window<br />
Could not be revived from this slumbering and enduring state<strong>.</strong><br />
The nurses only watching as she rises and declines<br />
From in and out of her adjustable bed, prowling the recovery<br />
room,<br />
Performing activities as if she is awake but she is not<strong>.</strong><br />
And upon the pendulum clock that hangs over the patient's<br />
door,<br />
She counts the bobbing and swaying of its rod to pass the<br />
hours<strong>.</strong><br />
Then when she finally recovered from this sickness,<br />
She rises from her velvet laced bed<br />
Only to come back to her senses<strong>.</strong> Gripping the brass shaft<br />
Of reality, she stands before the pendulum clock to see it<br />
cloaked<br />
With a family of dust and dirt she had always intended to<br />
smudge away<strong>.</strong><br />
Waving towards a pedestrian outside, she inquiries of him<br />
today's date<strong>.</strong><br />
Upon his answer her plump body jolts and she is devastated<br />
with tears-<br />
Twenty years had sailed by without her noticing the parade of<br />
its vessel flags<br />
Or clanking of its anchors..<strong>.</strong> "</div>

Without wasting any time let's jump straight to the three steps to achieve success and happiness in a rapid fashion:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Be clear on the 'WHY'</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
We really need to jump out from the how paradigm to the why paradigm<strong>.</strong> This means we must train our mind to focus on the BIGGER picture, the true reason of our existence, why is that we want to be a success and why is it important for us to be happy<strong>.</strong> This could be also defined as the sole purpose of our soul<strong>.</strong><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Mountains of BELIEVE</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
You situation can be in the worst ever state, you might even be in pain and agony but never lose hope<strong>.</strong> Believe is the word, they say it can move mountains so it might just pull you to the peak of the mountain<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Non-stop ACTION<strong>!</strong></strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Yes! This is what the majority always fail to do, they just sit and complain while ignoring the fact that success depends on an individuals effort or teamwork with the right kind of people<strong>.</strong> Some might ask how much action is needed to achieve my goal<strong>?</strong> I will reply how badly you want success and happiness in your life<strong>?</strong> So like the saying goes, <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Where there is a will, there is absolutely a WAY<strong>!</strong></em></div>

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I9OVGTnzzVI/UOMO4IVa9TI/AAAAAAAACbg/I4_eNW5Z0sg/s1600/gratitude+and+happiness.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="gratitude and happiness" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I9OVGTnzzVI/UOMO4IVa9TI/AAAAAAAACbg/I4_eNW5Z0sg/s400/gratitude+and+happiness.jpg" height="300" title="gratitude and happiness" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
So much has been made of the attitude of gratitude<strong>.</strong> I wholeheartedly concur. When I am in the place or state of gratitude, I have an actual warm feeling in the center of my being that it is almost palpable<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
In other words, this experience of appreciativeness can help you move toward happiness and greater and greater happiness<strong>.</strong> It is like a pleasant adventure on a tread mill that your life-attitude keeps moving along<strong>.</strong> But the exercise of using this treadmill is not tiring<strong>.</strong> In fact, it is invigorating.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
And, to jump metaphors rapidly, this treadmill running is or can be in the background, like an app running in the background on your computer or tablet while you do something else<strong>.</strong> This running-in-the-background app keeps everything else running more smoothly even if you are not aware of the process at times<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
To continue to jump metaphors, gratitude is like the energy you get from regular exercise of the body<strong>.</strong> I know from personal experience that if I don't exercise regularly, my energy levels decline<strong>.</strong> I guess the metabolism boost I get from physical exertion extends beyond the actual time of activity<strong>.</strong> Sort of charges my internal battery and I "live" off the juice well beyond the previous recharge<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
Your life of happiness runs off of gratefulness<strong>.</strong> To be happy, I believe, is the meaning of your life<strong>.</strong> One of the results of being happy is developing and cultivating a degree of appreciativeness in your life<strong>.</strong> It is an opportunity to literally feel something positive in your gut when events or feelings come together in such a way in your life that you are almost overwhelmed by a sense of thankfulness<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
This is thankfulness well beyond the feeling you may generate within yourself at a time such as Thanksgiving<strong>.</strong> You may stop and contemplate all the things, events and people in your life that cause you to deploy glad feelings within yourself<strong>.</strong> This is good as far as it goes.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
But I am talking about a perception even beyond this sense of thankfulness<strong>.</strong> Let me call it a sense of "all is right." Not some blind pollyanna optimism<strong>.</strong> Not just positive thinking without any basis in fact<strong>.</strong> On the contrary, this is when everything seems to fit in a cosmic and imperishable way<strong>.</strong> Like a galaxy-large jigsaw puzzle with a bazillion pieces that all suddenly fall into perfect place and the feeling of completeness is almost overtaking<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
You get this feeling of completeness by looking for it and by making it so within yourself<strong>.</strong> Let's face it, the world looks fragmented to everyone most of the time<strong>.</strong> The Information Age makes it no less so. Ten minutes on the Internets and you can be overwhelmed with information about almost every topic there is<strong>.</strong> One half hour surfing the cable news programs and you may be overloading once again<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
When you make quiet time for yourself and contemplate all that is good and complete in your life, you can grasp this feeling of gratitude for yourself<strong>.</strong> Yes, you make your own gratitude; it is not given to you and you don't need to earn it<strong>.</strong> It is there for the plucking. You decide to be grateful<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
When you decide a number of times, or it may happen the first time you resolve to be appreciative, a feeling of deep joy will well up in your gut in a physical way<strong>.</strong> Being grateful is a matter of practice - like anything else good in your life<strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">
For what are you grateful within your life<strong>?</strong> When you decide to, you can and will be grateful for everything<strong>.</strong> Yes, everything. But you must decide to do this for yourself and for the reinforcement of your own happiness<strong>.</strong> Mentally name one thing or person or event in your life for which you are grateful<strong>.</strong> Go ahead; do it now. Let this be the first step in your life of gratitude and happiness<strong>.</strong></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.428571em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.714285em; padding: 0px;">

3. According to a survey, nearly 80% say they like holidays as then could be free and no need to work during holidays. It's quite unfortunate with this kind of attitude as those majorities of people are working under the impression that work cannot be enjoyed.

If you're just starting out an online business or struggling to maintain profits, you know how discouraging and frustrating it can be. That's okay, many people feel this way at first and it most certainly is overwhelming. The thing about most successful online business owners is that they were able to keep their confidence when they were in the dumps. This is a very important aspect to keep in mind. Maintaining a positive attitude and believing in yourself can do wonders for you and your online business. Positive thinking has proven to be a very powerful and useful tool in many different situations.<br />

Think about the first time you got a sale online. It felt great didn't it? You felt as though you could conquer the world and it made you work even harder to make your next sale. You felt all the hours of research and work paying off. That's a wonderful feeling. I'm certain that if you were able to keep that frame of mind you'd be able to make billions. When you are working with a positive attitude it allows you to stay focused on the long-term rather than stressing out about the workload and petty troubles that come in between.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Now, I'm sure you can remember going through a rough time when working on your online business. Maybe you didn't quite make your investments back. Perhaps you had a slow month and didn't generate too many sales. This can put you in a very troublesome place. It can bring you down and lower your productivity thus harming your online business even further. That's why it's imperative to stray away from these feelings and focus on the long-term goals at hand. One way to avoid these feelings is to keep a small journal or document listing all of the accomplishments you've made. Whenever you're faced with an obstacle, open your list of accomplishments and think back to how proud it made you feel.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The fact of the matter is that if you do not believe in yourself, nobody will believe in you. You have to be your number one fan. Take the time to reward yourself whenever you reach a goal. Don't be afraid to stumble at times, it's perfectly normal. Even the biggest online companies out there had a lot of crawling to do before they were able to run. I can assure you that if you take just a few extra steps to keep a positive balance, you will be much more successful and happier with your online business.</div>
