MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO BE HAPPY. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
MAKE THE BEST OF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.
DON'T TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY. Don’t think that somehow you should be protected from misfortune that befalls other people.
YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY. Don’t let criticism worry you.
DON'T LET YOUR NEIGHBOUR SET YOUR STANDARDS. Be yourself.
NEVER BORROW TROUBLE. Do the things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt. Imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones.
AVOID PEOPLE WHO MAKE YOU UNHAPPY. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy, enmity, grudges.
HAVE MANY INTERESTS. If you can’t travel, read about new places.
DON'T HOLD POSTMORTEMS. Don’t spend your time brooding over sorrows or mistakes. Don’t be one who never gets over things.
DON'T SHOW PRIDE WHEN YOU GET VICTORY. After the resurrection Jesus did not reveal Himself before Pilate or Herodotus or the High Priests, who were torturing, crucifying and sealing the sepulchre; but revealed Himself before His own Disciples and those who believed in Him.
DO WHAT YOU CAN FOR THOSE LESS FORTUNATE THAN YOURSELF. Blessed is he that considereth the poor; the Lord will deliver him in the time of trouble (Ps 41:1).
KEEP BUSY AT SOMETHING. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.
AND THE LAST; BUT NOT LEAST - TO KNOW LASTING HAPPINESS, GET TO KNOW THE LOVE OF ETERNAL GOD PERSONALLY.
