341. Happiness By Robert Curtis
     Without getting into the core basics of philosophy, I will make a few statements about happiness. Happiness is probably the most sought after emotion, and the hardest to retain on an ongoing basis. We all can experience moments of joy that make us happy.I have found that I am most consistently happy when I am trying to help others to find happiness.

342. How In The Hell Did This Happen To Me? By Charles Bonasera
     Actually, the title of this article is the title of the book that I’m in the process of writing as well as the main theme of my radio show, "Welcome to Life Happens".

343. How Do You Define Happiness? By David Leonhardt
     I ran a contest in "Your Daily Dose of Happiness" to see how people define happiness. I was stunned to discover that I am the only person who defines happiness as an extra helping of cheesecake.There were other shockers, too.We know that money can't buy happiness ... except, of course, when we are flat broke. But I figured several people would define happiness, at least in part, as a bulging bank vault or "financial freedom". Just three people …

345. Supreme Self-Esteem By Adam Eason
     Self-esteem is incredibly important. In fact, I think it is so important that I am going to say that again. Self-esteem is incredibly important. Many people have the notion that it is the same as self-confidence; however it is far more than just self-confidence. If we look further into the origins of the word esteem itself, as we look etymologically, it comes from the word aestimate, which literally means ‘to put a value on.’ As you might gues…



346. 4 Steps to Use Fears as Friends: Don’t be a Thunder Dog! By Dan Ohler
     Imagine humungous, bulbous, billowing alto-cumulus clouds building higher and higher in the sky. They are as black as tar at the bottom and snowy white at the top. It looks as if we’re in for a storm.CRACK, rumble, rumble, rumble. Use your imagination folks.

347. Getting Out Of Dodge By Robert Curtis
     The freeway was relatively clear. It was early in the morning as we rushed in south-southwest direction out of town.

Anyone out there old enough to remember the old T.V. series, “Gunsmoke”, would…

349. Where do we Find True and Lasting Happiness? By Linda Reeves
     For the longest time I was convinced that I was not happy unless I had a partner to share my life with. I just knew that having someone to share glorious sunrises and romantic sunsets would make me happy.

This is the mistake most all of us make when we are dating and ev…

354. Poetic Romance By Robert Curtis

Sometimes words penned on the page put across our feelings to someone else so deeply that we are moved to tears. Moved to compassion.
