12 ways to be happy

1. make up your mind to be happy. learn to find pleasure in simple things.

2. make the best of your circumstances. noone has everything and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness in life. the trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.

3. dont take yourself too seriously. dont think that somehow you should be protected from misfortune that befalls other people

4. you cant please everybody. dont let criticism worry you.

5. dont let your neighbor set your standards. be yourself.

6. do the things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt.

7. never borrow trouble. imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones.

8. since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy. avoid people who make you unhappy.

9. have many interests. if you cant travel, read about new places.

10. dont hold postmortems. dont spend your time brooding over sorrows or mistakes. dont be one who never gets over things.

11. do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.

12. keep busy at something. a busy person never has time to be unhappy.
