Ideas for happy life
A collection of thoughts and sayings that resonated with me…Rules I try to live by:
- [ ] Everyone dealt their own cards… make the best out of your hand
- [ ] Happiness - life is never perfect so accept what you have and make the best out of it
- [ ] Positivity is infectious. Do your part to make those around you happy
- [ ] If you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all
- [ ] Be a uniter not a divider
- [ ] Try to limit bitching…it does no good and is unnecessary negativity
- [ ] Surround yourself with good people-limit negative nellies
- [ ] Only use constructive criticism
- [ ] Praise in public
- [ ] Be a role model - it’s contagious
- [ ] Relationships matter - coworkers, friends & family
- [ ] People buy things in search of happiness but may not find it
- [ ] Alcohol doesn’t bring happiness but spending time with family and friends does
- [ ] When other people are not nice it is not your problem it is theirs
- [ ] Set goals and periodically review
- [ ] My glass is half full versus half empty. I am thankful for what I have and don’t dwell on what I lost
- [ ] It’s better to give than receive is a mindset. I felt more satisfaction with life when I understood this
- You may not be able to control everything that happens to you but you can control how you deal with it.
@JoeAnderson I would really enjoy the drive. I have a very fragile backside from a bedsore I got after spending 2 months in a coma and 8.5 months in the hospital. That’s why I now drive a Tesla. I do pretty well if I don’t push it.
Is anyone else concerned with inflation? I see it running hot. High prices for things like food, fuel and real estate seem much higher than normal. As fuel reserves run low gas prices can rise more. There is a ~9 months lag for it to work it way thru the economy.
@congressdj Are your kids like 6’4 or is it too tight for 5’10”? My son is 5’11” and he is fine in the normal backseat of the Y with a family of 4 but likes to sit upfront in my S b/c he has no leg room.
