Happiness...

One thing we all need is a little more happiness. Seriously, have you seen the gloomy people out there? There's a lot of unhappy people, especially due to the economy. But even when the economy was good, people were still unhappy.

Why is this?

I can't really answer that question without believing that it's because they don't know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, but it's also because the ones who do know Jesus don't take the time to be happy either. Even the Christians are unhappy, and it's mainly a character flaw of not being satisfied with what one has. But that's also part of our culture.

How do we fix this problem of unhappiness?

Well, happiness can spread like wildfire, so if we just take the time to be a little nicer to one another rather than focusing so much on ourselves, we can stop a lot of the drama. Step by step, this looks like...

1. Smile more often.
2. Thank God for what you do have.
3. Do something nice for someone else.
4. Continually give out compliments about those around you.
5. Say "Please" and "Thank you."
6. Help those who need it.
7. Be nice to those who you would normally not be nice to.
8. Refuse to let the small stuff ruin your day.
9. Love more often.
10. Smile more often.

*Another tip could be: wear brighter colors and make the world brighter. If your surroundings are gloomier, often times, so will you.

Love ya!
