How to be happy..


How to be happy...wisdom from a youtube video
1. Be a do-gooder - perform selfless acts of kindness
2. Don't sweat decisions - the longer a choice is debated, the less happy the person is with the outcome
3. Spend well - spend money on experiences not things
4. Aim high - but not that high
5. Be a joiner - join a group of like-minded people
6. Stop dwelling - excessive introspection is a bad thing
7. Be grateful - count your blessings



How to be happy...what I think my mom would say:
1. Have a strong sense of faith in God
2. Surround yourself with family, friends and loved ones
3. Be a good friend
4. Give of your time to help make others' lives easeir
5. Always have the coffee pot on and the door open
6. Cultivate and create strong relationships with others
7. Have a great sense of humour
8. Work hard, have a strong work ethic and do your best regardless of the outcome
9. Be humble
10. Appreciate the little things in life
11. Look for the good in every situation
12. Be patient, non-judgemental and sensitive to others

Am I close, Mom?

Mom, thank you for what you teach all of us when you thought no one was looking or noticing.
Love you,
Crystal
