A recent Harris poll reported thatonly 33% of Americansdescribe themselves as being very happy.
So does that mean that not all happiness is equal?
The initial happiness will probably fade quicker than a temporary tattoo.
This doesnt mean that very happy people blindly accepting whatever is happening to them.
1.Dont be easily discouraged by unfavorable circumstances.
Despite what strange things happen, remember that life has an uncanny way of turning out for the best.
Let go of control.
One of my favorite internet memes is Dont worry, nothing is in control.
There is very little that any of us are in control of.
Even our ownminds are operating on autopilotfor much of the time.
Therefore, practice letting the chips fall where they may, and accepting people as they are.
This doesnt mean you shouldnt have expectations.
Increase your adaptation energy.
Cease to look at people or situations as the source of your happiness.
This one seems too obvious to mention, but we all succumb to criticism and judgement?
If you look close enough, everyone has flaws, but everyone also has virtues.
Its not possible to accept yourself without increasing your ability to accept others.
Protect your integrity as your most valuable possession.
As Abraham Lincoln said, When I do good, I feel good.
When I do bad, I feel bad.
It doesnt get any simpler than that.
Live from a state of abundance.
The opposite of abundance is scarcity.
