How to Be Happy

This post is so beautifully written by my friend Maya that I need to re-blog. Life is too short for us not to be happy and love life, Live one day at a time as if it were to be our last, Say I love you to someone and do what you are passionate about. Listen to your heart and love life.

Via maya garg (Royal Lepage Kingsbury):

We all get so busy in our lives as Realtors that we often forget simple things in our lives which bring us happiness. Only if we can cherish those wonderful moments, not only we will be positive and bring joy to ourselves but to our clients,friends and associates.

Hope you like this reading. We all need this over and over - until it becomes part of who we are!

1. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches)

2. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

3. Enjoy the simple things.

4. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.

5. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.

6. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

7. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

8. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

9. Tell the people you love that you love them at every opportunity. I love you, my special friend.

10. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend.

I love #3--Enjoy the simply things. This is something I need to work on--thanks for re-blogging. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Thanks for sharing these thoughts, Kathleen. #3 struck a chord with me but they are all good to remember!

ESTHER: Number 3 is a good one. We need to simplify our lives and relax more. Thanks for stopping by and have a great Thanksgiving Day, Every day should be a day of thanksgiving and knowing how blessed we are.

Happy Thanksgiving

All great advice.. i have been listening to the secret..and that is exactly what they say.

SHIRLEY: I agree they are all worth remembering and acting upon. Let us not waste another moment on trivial stuff and the things that shall pass. Why worry be happy:)

Happy Thanksgiving

Great idea in theory, but living it in these times are diffcult. Maybe I am a #1 but then maybe I am a realist or NOT. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays to all.

KONNIE: The secret is out enjoy life and be happy, life is too short and there are some great memories to be made so we can cherish them all the days of our lives.

smile

CHARLES: it is for that very reason that we can not let the times we are living in affect our health and wellbeing. Therefore we must make ourselves enjoy what we do have in our lives. Our family, our faith, our joys in life, don't bury them nor smother them, step aside and SMILE. This too shall pass so do what you love to do now.

Kathleen Ann: What a great list. Obviously, some items on the list are a lot easier to follow than others. It probably would be a great idea to print this post, and carry it with me to look at from time to time. Thanks for the re-post. Hope you are well. Take care...

She makes several great points. Staying active is very important to being happy. From the friends you choose to how you spend time, happiness is a choice.

Kathleen they read more like the 10 commandments to a Happy Life. Life is way to short to fret the little stuff or to have unhappy people around us that would merely suck the life from us. Thanks for the repost and for sharing.

Thank you

Kathleen Ann: It appears that comment # 11 is SPAM. I have reported it to Active Rain, and I might suggest you do so, to. Obviously, DO NOT click on the link. It could lead to a trojan horse, a virus, or worse. Just a suggestion.

Also, if you wish, you may delete my comment here... if you don't want it cluttering up your post's comments. :)

Great tips on who to associate with and soooo true... Thanks for sharing

Hi Kathleen, thanks for re-posting this. Your friend has chosen some great things to emphasize. Thanks for sharing this with us for those of us who missed it the first time around.

I like 1 & 2. Not sure I'm mature enough for #10. As I close in on 50, it's a chore to keep up with technology, but there is no choice. As far as #1, I try to rid my social life of Toxic People.

Thanks for the reminder to stop and smell the flowers.

KAREN ANNE: Thank you for stopping by I always appreciate your visit and your sincere caring. I felt all of these needed to be re-blogged because it is so true many real estate people have a difficult time simplifying their lives and taking a moment to smell the flowers and live life to it fullest inspite of what is happening around them. We have the choice to make the decision to be happy ir not,

I subscribe to a very inspirational site called "simple truths". and today they wrote about gratitude and Learning to Dance in the Rain

"When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that is present... we experience heaven on earth." BJ Gallagher

CHARLES: I absolutely agree with you that life is a series of choices and we need to choose happiness for ourselves and for the people we love and share our lives with.

HIGHEST CD RATES, Good response and advice

ED: Isn't that the truth. People who are negative and unhappy and grouches need to keep their distance ftom us, because they do drain us of our good Karma and energy.

ANDREW: Thank you for visiting for the first time, I do hope you return again and again.

KAREN ANNE: Your comments will never clutter up my post comments. I always value what you say and thanks for this alert. I will live it so others will read it, too, and not open as well. We do not want any computer viruses

DIANE: So true, we need to follow these to have a happy life.

SHARON: There are certain blogs that I feel need to be circultated as you say,since sometimes we miss it the first time it is posted. Thanks for stopping by and reading this post and commenting.

JIM: That for stopping by and using a great choice of words I love your phrase "toxic people" In wanting to green our homes and get rid of toxic cleaning products we also want to rid our lives from those you term "toxic people" LOL

BTW I appreciate your personal email and will see if I can make a change. Thanks :)

Kathleen -This is a wonderful list and #3 is very difficult for me sometimes, "Enjoy the simple things"

Thanks for the read and the comments are great and your post has been featured at one of the "Happiest" Groups at Activerain ......

HAPPY AT ACTIVERAIN

Thanks for reposting this Kathleen.

We all need a reminder now and again to stop and look at what we have, in our personal lives as well as our business lives.

I know I have experienced this more than once, for when I do stop to look at where I am at, I've already accomplished some of the goals I had set for myself without even realizing it.

It just proves to me that we have to take the time to stop and reflect on ourselves because the key to success is not in the destination but in the paths we take to get there.

Happy Thanksgiving

HELLO BOB: Happy to have you stop by and thank you for featuring me in your HAPPY group. Trying to simplify our lives is a most difficult one especially for us real estate people.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
