posticon Your Happiness

Posted on   by

Is happiness an impossible dream? Many humans believe it is. But as Abraham Lincoln said, Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.

Spirit

If you believe what the world teaches you about happiness, you’ll never be happy. Certainly not all the time. Probably not even most of the time.

The world and its so-called leaders are not the ones to help you be happy. YOU are the only person who can make you happy.Read more

Humans have been searching for happiness forever. Yet, for many, it seems an impossible dream.

Spirit says happiness is our birthright. And, they say, it’s as simple as choosing to be happy. But is it really that simple?

John Kitchin M.D. thinks it is. He might just have the real secret to a long life of happiness and peace: Do what you want to.

So many feel a sense of fear and dread as darkness descends. But the darkest days also herald the end of the darkness. Each day grows lighter as the darkness fades.

So why do so many suffer through this annual misery?Read more

People are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

I have a little sign on my desk, “Get happy!”

When some folks see it, they ask “How?”

The answer is “Happiness is a choice. So choose to be happy.”

Again, the response is “How?”

I know some folks will disagree with me. But, from my observations over the years, I’d say older folks are generally happier than younger ones.

And my own personal experience of growing older supports that idea.Read more
