Simple Rules to Live a Happy Life

1.   Focus on the POSITIVE.  All of us have problems.  Each with its own special circumstances.  As the saying goes, “Hindi lahat ng mayaman ay Masaya; hindi lahat ng Masaya ay mayaman.”(Not all rich people are happy; not all happy people are rich.)  Whether we like it or not we cannot divest ourselves of problems---it is a validation that we are alive.  I believe that the person who does not have any problem is already “six feet under”.

2.     Look at what you have going for you instead of that of others.  Envy fuels negativity.  Negativity breeds bitterness.  Appreciate what you have and be thankful.  I firmly believe that we all have our own special situation to be happy about.

3.      Give yourself credit.  God gave us all individual talents that we will need to survive life.  Look back at what you've accomplished---the trials that you overcome---and give yourself a much deserved pat on the back. Not many people appreciate what you have done but at least YOU DO.

4.     Embrace your situation.  Nobody said that life is going to be easy so stop whining and accept the challenges that come your way.  Just put in mind that God does not give us challenges that we cannot endure or overcome.  It’s just a matter of digging inside yourself to find the courage and the strength to rise up to all your trials.


5.   PRAY.  #4 is easier said than done so a dose or two of Divine intervention can make a difference.  Miracles happen every day.  Often they are disguised as coincidences.  I guess this is God’s means of remaining anonymous.
