Satsang 12 ways to be Happy

12 Ways To Be Happy:
  
1. Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.

2. Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of   sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.
3. Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortune that befalls other people.

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

5. Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself.

6. Do the things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt.
 
7. Never borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones.

8. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy, Avoid people who make you unhappy.

9. Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.

10. Don't hold postmortems. Don't spend your time brooding over sorrows or mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things.

11. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself. 

12. Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.

   And yes there is one more---
Have faith in God-- you may not be able to see him or hear him or touch him but He is able to hear you and see you and no matter what -- He will always be with you and bless you ... So dont just pray to him when your are sad and depressed and in need of something but also remember to thank him when you are happy and are able to bring a smile and contentment to some one else's face...
