PRACTISING YOUR HAPPINESS...
Be Considerate...
Sherry Lansing, the former head of Twentieth-Century Fox, makes it a habit to return very phone call she receives the same day...no matter who it's from. How does she do it? She is extremely organized and comitted to being considerate. It's no coincidence she is also one of the most succesful executives in Hollywood.
Forgive Everyone...
Holding grudges and harboring resentment and unforgiveness will hurt u most of all. Clean the slate regularly. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just in God forgave you.
Choose Happiness Over Being Right...
Consider this story. Two children playing in a park begin to argue. One says,"I hate you! I'm never going to play with you again!". For a few moments, they play separately and then they are back playing together and sharing toys. How do children manage to be so angry one minute and best of friends the next? The answer is simple-it is more important to them to be happy than to be right.
Expect The Best From Others...
When you genuinely like and respect yourself and expect that you will succeed, you gain the power to accept others in the same way. In turn, your positive expectations of other people will motivate them o fulfill your expectations more often-especially your children.
Agree And Disagree...
You and your friend may cheer for opposing teams, or you may be a republican and your friend democrat. Whatever the difference, it's important to respect one another. Within any relationship, there may be areas of serious disagreement. But if you respect one another's boundaries, your friendship will be strengthened.
Establish A Network Of Friends...
The old adage, " No man [woman] is an island," is true. You need people, and they need you. Research has shown that people who have many acquaintances and deep friendships live longer than those who are distrustful and never reach out to another person. If you want a friend, be a friend.
Be A Peacemaker...
It's not easy being a peacemaker, but it is rewarding. The world remembers its peacemakers with the Nobel Prize. There have been many distinguished recipients. But there are many others who live quiet lives, spreading peace like a sweet aroma to those around them. Are you seeking a happy life? Be a peacemaker.
See Your Breakthrough...
Norman Vincent Peale said that we tend to get what we expect. The reason most people never break out of the pack is because they can't visualize success. Instead, they are always rehearsing their past and present troubles. Practice positive thinking and see your problems solved.
Develop Discernment...
A person wh's always talking never learns to listen to his heart. Life-changing decisions should not be made on a whim. Before you sell a car, get married, or buy a house, take time to get still and consider what your heart is saying.
Read A Daily Devotion...
Reading is one of the keys to wisdom and knowledge. The search for wisdom is a journey of discovery which is fulfilling in and of itself. One of the best ways to gain wisdom is to read spiritual verses every day.
Respect Authority...
It makes good sense to respect authority. When you obey the speed limit, you avoid a ticket. Aristotle once said that a leader must first learn how to follow. Be faithful and willing to follow orders; then when you rise to the top spot, there will be others waiting to follow you.
