Seven Simple Rules For Happiness That Lasts!
 

1. Free your heart from hatred. You don’t always have to be the warrior, the righter of evil. Forgiveness breeds contentment, and true peace begins with a smile.

2. Honor your family and true friends. It is they who provide the real contentment in life. Someone to count on who loves you means far more in life than the possessions you acquire, and the satisfaction is far greater, and lasts far longer. Memories of love is what will sustain you.

3. Look at the glass as half full. We can always find fault; the happiest among us see light in the dark and beauty in the kind.

4. Give more. Be there when you are needed. Giving of yourself always returns more than the investment.

5. Decide today will be a good day. Tell someone you care. Life will react accordingly, even if you don’t think you see immediate results. Love, understanding and kindness seem to attract love, understanding and kindness.

6. There will always be rough seas, but there is calm after every storm.

7. Fill yourself from the inside. It’s not the clothes or the size of your house, nor the car you drive that defines you, it is the people you touch and those you allow to touch you.
