Five Rules for Happiness

1.



Free your heart from hatred

2.



Free your mind from worries

3.



Live simply

4.



Give more

5.



Expect less

I guess you've heard the expression "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." Many people think happiness lies somewhere else. If they can just afford that trip, buy that brand new car, move into that big house in a nicer neighborhood or update their whole wardrobe, they will get it. Of course materialistic things can bring us happiness, but a feeling based on outer things is not the lasting kind. Rather than believing your mood depends on something uncertain, stay happy in this moment. When you choose happiness each and every day, no matter what life throws at you, you will feel at ease and enjoy life more.





The next time it's pouring, you loose your temper and complain about the bad weather, remember this quote by John Ruskin - "Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.



"

So stay happy when you're home, when you travel. Approach locals and smile to strangers you meet on the road. People will smile back at you.





"The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be".

The live simply part is what I need to work on.

I find myself a little high maintenance sometimes.
