Never Hate<br />
Hate is such strong word. We hate when we are harmed.<br />
Most of <strong>the</strong> time, we hate for <strong>the</strong> wrong reason. Or we<br />
hate because we don’t know how <strong>to</strong> forgive. They say it is<br />
easy <strong>to</strong> forgive but it’s hard <strong>to</strong> forget. True. But <strong>to</strong> forgive<br />
is still better than not having <strong>to</strong> forgive at all. Remember<br />
that –give is in <strong>the</strong> word forgive. When we forgive, we give<br />
people chances <strong>to</strong> make it up <strong>to</strong> us, <strong>to</strong> change or perhaps <strong>to</strong><br />
start anew. So never hate, instead forgive.<br />
Don’t Worry<br />
Aside from wrinkles and rapid ageing, depression is a killer<br />
which is developed through <strong>to</strong>o many worries. But <strong>the</strong> question<br />
is, is it possible for us not <strong>to</strong> worry at all Apparently<br />
yes, in fact people who don’t worry <strong>to</strong>o much on problems<br />
find <strong>the</strong> best and quick solutions <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir problems. You see,<br />
not worrying <strong>to</strong>o much on things makes up a clear mind, a<br />
happy state of being and a smile that adds up <strong>to</strong> more feasible<br />
solutions <strong>to</strong> one’s problem. And if things are still going<br />
bad, don’t worry because it wont last forever as things are<br />
not permanent and as long as we continue <strong>to</strong> be positive.<br />
Live Simply<br />
To be happy is not <strong>to</strong> have all <strong>the</strong> luxuries we want, but ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />
how we find happiness in <strong>the</strong> simple things that we have.<br />
To dream for a more lavish life may not be harmful or hard,<br />
but <strong>to</strong> live contented and happy is like living a dream. It is<br />
when life is not complicated and living is a breeze. Whichever<br />
lifestyle we are most comfortable with is where we find<br />
more reasons <strong>to</strong> live and be happy.<br />
Give a lot<br />
Though <strong>the</strong> proverb “it’s better <strong>to</strong> give than <strong>to</strong> receive”<br />
has been highly overrated, it is definitely true. If<br />
<strong>the</strong> happiness we felt in receiving feels good <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> heart, <strong>the</strong>n it does <strong>the</strong> same thing <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
person or entity we’ve given something.<br />
Think of it this way. When we give,<br />
we make someone happy. And<br />
<strong>the</strong> happiness we feel in giving<br />
is even more ultimate that in<br />
receiving something. So, give<br />
and make yourself happy.<br />
Expect Little<br />
Expectations are sometimes<br />
created <strong>to</strong> become<br />
our standards of success,<br />
or as a means of satisfaction meter. When an expectation is reached<br />
it would mean we succeeded or perhaps that we are satisfied. Yet<br />
sometimes, we do not realize that as we expect <strong>to</strong>o much, our standards<br />
elevate <strong>to</strong> a much higher level, and as we fail in our pursuit <strong>to</strong><br />
achieve an expectation, we end up feeling like a failure. Or most of<br />
<strong>the</strong> time, we fail <strong>to</strong> appreciate something because our expectations<br />
were not met. We <strong>the</strong>n become unhappy. Expect little instead, and<br />
learn <strong>to</strong> appreciate.<br />
Always Smile<br />
“Frown and you frown alone, but smile and <strong>the</strong> whole world smiles<br />
with you.” The proverb says pretty much of everything. If smiling<br />
was a contagious disease which will make a person happy for <strong>the</strong><br />
rest of his life, would it be a good thing <strong>to</strong> get infected Happiness<br />
is usually <strong>the</strong> stimula<strong>to</strong>r of smiles. When one is happy, he exhibits it<br />
through a smile. So always smile. Let <strong>the</strong> people around you know<br />
that you’re happy and make <strong>the</strong>m happy as well.<br />
Stay in Love<br />
They say love is a very powerful emotion, <strong>the</strong> most powerful perhaps.<br />
Our literature, our lives, our songs and o<strong>the</strong>rs are ruled over<br />
by love. It is hard <strong>to</strong> define love and it may be defined differently.<br />
But <strong>the</strong> most clear and probably most common definition of <strong>the</strong><br />
word is that it has <strong>the</strong> power <strong>to</strong> bind two people as one. But <strong>the</strong> goal<br />
here is not <strong>to</strong> encourage you <strong>to</strong> marriage ra<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> remind us that<br />
love doesn’t only bring happiness but also peace, hope and faith. If<br />
we’ll stay in love and exhibit love, we make not only two but many<br />
people as one.<br />
Eat all you can<br />
Although this may seem irrelevant <strong>to</strong> staying happy, I would beg <strong>to</strong><br />
disagree. Eating is <strong>the</strong> process of consuming food and turning<br />
<strong>the</strong>m in<strong>to</strong> nutritional needs that our body requires for<br />
growth. Eating for many of us is a feel-good habit, especially<br />
when we get <strong>to</strong> eat <strong>the</strong><br />
food we love. You see, although<br />
you may go on a diet but you<br />
should never deny yourself<br />
from eating, especially when<br />
it makes you happy. Give<br />
yourself a break, make yourself<br />
happy and eat all you<br />
can.<br />
Make happiness not<br />
just a word in <strong>the</strong><br />
dictionary or an<br />
overrated statement.<br />
Make happiness happen<br />
<strong>to</strong> you <strong>to</strong>day.<br />
