Perhaps the most sought after thing in the world is happiness. Our constitution even provides freedom for the pursuit of happiness. People seek out many things in that pursuit . . . power, money, love, sex, food, etc.

Happiness is not something to pursue. It’s a decision we make for ourselves. Will Rogers may have said it best. He said, “Most folks are about as happy as they decide to be!“ You have to decide to be happy. You may be amazed how everything else then falls into place!

My wife and I made that decision years ago. It works! But, you have to decide to be happy every day and regardless what happens. That’s not always easy. Sometimes it can be a decision you have to make every other minute. You can always come up with “reasons” to be down, if you let yourself. Know what? You can learn to take even bad times in stride! As one 70 year old man said* concerning what he had learned in his lifetime, “Don’t sweat the small stuff . . . and it’s all small stuff!” It takes practice, but it can be learned. Try it! Make that decision right now!

The Lord can help. You can go to Him in thanksgiving and prayer anytime. Prayer works! It really does. For many people, the problem isn’t believing in God, or that he can help. The challenge is believing that he will help. “Why should He help li’l ‘ole me?” “I’m not important enough for Him to help.” “That’s such a little thing. Why would He help with that?” “Isn’t He too busy with more important things?” “That’s too much to ask!” The fact is . . . He is always there, like a loving parent, to help in any way, at any time. All He asks . . . is that you ask, with faith. Then miracles can happen!

When you decide to be happy, several things occur. The world suddenly seems like a better place to live in. People seem so much easier to deal with. They seem happier. Why weren’t they like that before? Smile, and the world smiles with you? Your job becomes easier. Everything becomes easier! Dreams begin to come true.

Of course, there will always be some who will try to bring you back down to their level. Misery loves company? Perhaps. You may need to distance yourself from these people, if not physically, then at least emotionally. Something else to learn. Above all . . . BE HAPPY! Pray about it. He will help!

1. Happiness as a Habit By Sonya Green
Health and Happiness are the two things that most people will tell you they desire most. Ask a parent what they want most for their child and they will almost always say, “I really don’t care, as long as they are healthy and happy.” Sometimes people say they want love, success or wealth, but when asked why, they think for a moment and then say because these things would make them happy.Usually people desire health above all else but only when t…

2. How Can I Tell What Vibes I'm Sending Out? By Michael Losier
The Law of Attraction exists in your life right now; whether you understand it or not, whether you know it or not, and whether you like it or not.Until you learn to use the Law of Attraction in a deliberate way, most of the time you are not aware that you are attracting into your life-more of-whatever you are giving your focus, attention, and energy to.

One segment included my daughter. We had one long 9-hour-day of travel, then a day of filming, and then a day of travel to return home. She held up like a trooper, constantly assisting me in every way she could.Of course, as all travel with…
