HAPPINESS IS...

[ Edited ]

1.   found when you stop comparing yourself to other people.

 

2.   Stop explaining yourself and telling people everything.  You owe no one any explanation of what you do.  Your life is yours, not theirs.

 

3.  Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.  Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

 

4.   Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance, you must keep moving.

 

5.   Create a life that feels good on the inside, not one that just looks good on the outside.

 

6.   Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't.  And believe that everything happens for a reason.  If you get a chance, take it.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said it would be easy, just that it would be worth it.

 

7.   It's not what you go through that defines you;  you can't help that.  It's what you do AFTER you've gone through it that really tests who you are.

 

8.   I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead help them reveal the greatest version of themselves.

 

9.   Don't lose hope--(you never know what tomorrow will bring.)

 

10.   To thrive in life you need three bones.

                          A wishbone.

                          A backbone.

                       And a funny bone.

On this board, especially #2. So many of us over explain and give out too many details that have nothing to do with the point.

It's one of my favorites too, that's why I saved it for last, wanted to make it light and feel good.
