102. It's All About Me: Why It's Good to Be Selfish By Barbara Bellissimo
     I started thinking about this topic during a discussion of “What You Wish You Knew Then”. People were talking about the differences in their lives once they discovered that what makes them happy is just as important as what makes other people happy.It really is true...if you are not happy, then it’s likely that no one around you is happy. Sounds self-centered to some people, especially women, but it's not. And it is not even close to Gordon G…



103. How to Find Joy and Happiness By Terje Ellingsen
     I'm sure many times you have asked the question: “What is happiness really?” Before I attempt to elaborate on this issue further I will say this: I have a strong, intuitive feeling that when push comes to shove, joy and happiness are the purposes of our lives.

106. Happiness Fleeting By Ridgely Goldsborough
     “You cannot capture happiness no matter how hard you may chase after it. Happiness is something that follows you.” The words of the old sage echoed in the young man’s heart, sounding a constant beat like the song that plays over and over without reprieve. “What does that mean?” he asked himself. “Time to walk,” he continued, trapped in his own inner dialogue.He thought about how many ways he tried to find lasting joy—from the cheap thrills to …

114. True Happiness By Kim Olver
     Most people look outside of themselves as the cause of their unhappiness or frustration. After all, wouldn’t life be practically perfect if the significant people in our lives would simply do things the way we want them to or do what we think is best for them?

118. Free Tips To Improve Self Confidence By Steve Hill
     1. DRUNK!At the age of sixteen I was invited out for the evening on a Saturday night to celebrate a friend’s birthday. This for most people would be something to look forward to, for me it was something to dread.

119. Clearing a Path for Happiness By Esther Smith
     In the United States, the pursuit of happiness is a god-given right and Americans have a document to prove it. But I wonder why the Founding Fathers deliberately phrased it, ‘the pursuit of happiness’, as if to say --- happiness in itself cannot be granted because it was, and still remains, tied to materialism.
