Seven Ways to Peace and Happiness

\r\n

Rule 1: Let's fill our minds with thoughts of peace, courage, health, and hope, for "our life is what our thoughts make it."

\r\n

Rule 2: Let's never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let's never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like.

\r\n

Rule 3:
\r\n A. Instead of worrying about ingratitude, let's expect it.
\r\n B. Let's remember that the only way to find happiness is not to expect gratitude - but to give for the joy of giving.
\r\n C. Let's remember that gratitude is a "cultivated" trait; so if we want our children to be grateful, we must train them to be grateful.

\r\n

Rule 4: Count your blessings - not your troubles!

\r\n

Rule 5: Let's not imitate others. Let's find ourselves and be ourselves, for "envy is ignorance" and "imitation is suicide."

\r\n

Rule 6: When fate hands us a lemon, let's try to make a lemonade.

\r\n

Rule 7: Let's forget our own unhappiness - by trying to create a little happiness for others. "When you are good to others, you are best to yourself."
