prescription for happiness

Make up your mind to be happy.

Learn to find pleasure in simple things.

Make the best of your circumstances.
No one has everything and
everyone has something of sorrow
intermingled with the gladness of life.

The trick is to make the laughter
outweigh the tears.

Don't take yourself too seriously.

You can't please everybody;
Don't let criticism worry you.

Don't let your neighbor
set your standards.

Do the things you enjoy doing,
But stay out of debt.

Don't borrow trouble.

Imaginary things are harder to bear
than the actual ones.

Since hate poisons the soul,
do not cherish enmities and grudges.

Don't hold post-mortems.

Don't spend your life
brooding over sorrows and mistakes.

Don't be one who
never gets over things.

Do what you can for those
less fortunate than yourself.

Keep busy at something.

A very busy person never
has time to be unhappy.

For maximum effectiveness,
This prescription should be taken
as often as needed.
