There is nothing better for people than
to be happy and to enjoy themselves as long as they live.
—Ecclesiastes 3:12
Canadian broadcaster Robert Blondin toured numerous countries, asking 600 people of diverse cultures one question: “What makes people happy?”
The three highest ranking answers were: controlling one’s attitude, being thankful, and doing good.
Here are a half-dozen things you can do to make this a happy day:
1. Pinpoint a blessing that you’ve been taking for granted. Think about how much it means and thank God for it
.2. Take ownership of your attitude. Embrace the day with a smile; eliminate the scowl.
3. Be kind and considerate, even when others aren’t.
4. Do something nice for someone, without expectation of thanks.
5. Refuse entrance to thoughts about a painful past.
6. Be positive and cheerful all day.
Have a good day, my friend.
You can’t assign your happiness to
someone else; it’s an inside job.
