Ways to Get Happy

Being happy may just be the single most important thing you can do for your health.
41. The excuses you keep reciting to yourself
Sooner or later you will come to realize that its not what you lose along the way that counts its what you do with what you still have. When you let go, forgive, and move on, you in no way change the past, you change the future.
42. Avoiding the reality of the present
You cant change what you refuse to confront. You cant find peace by avoiding it. Deal with problems before they deal with your happiness. Dont let a hard lesson harden your heart. Remember, lifes best lessons are usually learned at the worst times and from the worst mistakes. When you lose something, dont think of it as a loss accept it as a gift that will get you on the path you were meant to travel all along. Thank your past for all the lessons, and move on. Say it Dear past, thank you for the lessons and wisdom. Dear future, Im ready for you
43. Excessive pride
Get out of your own way. Stop judging everyone and everything. Pride is one of the greatest enemies to your happiness and growth. Open your mind before you open your mouth. Dont hate what you dont know. The mind is like a parachute it doesnt work when its closed. Or as C.S. Lewis so profoundly put it, A proud person is always looking down on things and other people and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something beautiful that is above you.
44. Overlooking everything thats wonderful
Do your best and surrender the rest. When you stay stuck in regret of the life you think you should have had, you end up missing the beauty of what you do have. You will have a hard time ever being happy if you arent thankful for the good things in your life right now.
45. Comparing yourself to everyone else
Sometimes the reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behindthescenes circumstances with everyone elses public highlight reel. Give it up. Dont compare your Chapter 1 to someone elses Chapter 15. Follow your own path, write your own life story, and never give up on yourself. Remember this Happiness formula Do YOUR best and feel good about it.
