how to be happy? - Friday, April 13, 2007
i have been seeking something deep down in me, but i failed in the quest of searching for that elusive prize.
who doesn't want to be happy? contented? filled with everything one desires for?
when i was reading the daily bread last night, it guided me to something...
Proverbs 16:20 says: "Whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he."
seriously i do... but am i really happy within? i ponder...
and it states a list of Ten Rules for Happier Living (i think i should adapt to it):
1. Give something away.
2. Do a kindness.
3. Give thanks always.
4. Work with vim and vigor.
5. Visit the elderly and learn from their experience.
6. Look intently into the face of a baby and marvel.
7. Laugh often - it's life's lubricant.
8. Pray to know God's way.
9. Plan as though you will live forever - you will in heaven.
10. Live your day as though is your last on earth.
excellent ideas i say....but where and what to start? sigh...
