It is so easy to say to others, or to ourselves, keep happy. But how do we keep happy? Here are a few of many helps. People will sometimes ask... What about in trying circumstances? How can we keep... Happy in them whether they be past present or future well a good piece of

The general advice is to welcome the circumstances as you would welcome either a strong opponent or a contest handicap. That is as a privilege and as a privilege. The general advice is to welcome the circumstances as you would welcome either a strong opponent or a contest handicap. That is as a privilege and as a privilege. An occasion for bringing out one's best game. Turn your mind to blessings or think of your own blessings. Not only in the past but also in the present. Think of all the conveniences of civilization. Contrast the hardships of a century ago with no internet, no air conditioners, no washing machines, infrequent back-to-back. Breaking Labor. Think of today's blessings and keep happy. Think also of the blessings of...

Friends or family. Anything is better than giving attention to your supposed injuries, hardships, and sorrows. Resenting or bemoaning them. When things seem to be amiss, then is the time to Give all your thoughts an upward direction. Keep happy. Hold on to happiness. Not like grim death, but like irrepressible life. Remember that everything serves some useful purpose, and if you cannot keep happy, at least determine to discover some useful purpose. Then as soon as you can, come back to yourself and... And keep happy. This is the old and ever the new way. As Matterlink says, before you go, go.

We can bring happiness to others, we must first be happy ourselves. Nor will happiness abide within us unless we confer it on others. If there be a smile... Upon our lips. Those around us will soon smile too and our happiness will be Come truer and deeper as we see that others are happy. Therefore keep happy by helping others. We can help others by our thoughts, by wishing them to be well, happy, and successful. Or by imagining them to be well, happy, and successful. We love you. Can help them by all our expressions, our words, our looks, our acts. And by our very abstinence from non-happiness.

Harbor no ill thoughts against other people or things, or against yourself. Step in the right direction just as a Hornet can... Easily batted down as it leaves the nest, so we can beat down any undesirable thought of worry. Failure or resentment so that it ceases to live and poison us or others. But still this is... Is negative. It is not positive and constructive. To keep happy we must fill our glass drop by drop with the sparkling and fresh water of happiness. Then the dirty water will automatically trickle away, and who knows? somehow become a kind of mental fertilizer. To keep happy we can use

happy words. Words have a vast and often little appreciated power. Think how useless we would be with regards to our power of improving ourselves and helping others. Had no words. It would be easy to write a long book on this aspect of the art of happiness alone, but I must be content with just one idea. That is, we should speak with a cheerful voice and tone as well as with a cheerful face and instead of using words of ill omens such as miserable and cruel we should prefer words Words that end rightly, such as unhappy and unkind, words that end with a I and I

that leave us with the right and happy notion. We would go far towards keeping happy if we also practiced appreciation. Think about it. We breathe fresh air. Pure water, see glorious scenery or architecture, and so forth. Without even remotely appreciating its full value. For instance... Of the water as refreshing us, satisfying us, helping our Assimilation of nourishing food and symbolizing much besides. That it is far better to approach people, things or circumstances, in a welcoming spirit, than in a spirit of discontent. Some individuals have a genius for seeing the funny side of so-called misfortunes.

Laughing when others would be crying over their bad luck. Several people I know have developed the art of making troubles almost blessings by catching at once the ludicrous aspect of this situation. Going around to the other side and seeing things from a different perspective. Sometimes, entering into the trouble by the gate of humor, they find that the... Trouble is not a torture chamber, but a factory of success and happiness. The right laugh and smile is an expression of real faith in any way. If persevered in, tends to bring the reality. Happy by imagination. How exhilarating it is to imagine oneself succeeding in one's favorite game, or in one's business, or art, or hobby.

Such an imagination is far better than the memory of defeats, except insofar as As the latter helps us to correct our faults. Lastly, let me offer one final suggestion. It is a good plan to make a... Point of writing down every day in a notebook or on slips of paper. Special reason why you should keep happy. I've done this regularly with a friend of mine for many months and we have exchanged our records. The following are a few of the many of our reasons. Keep Happy. When happiness is present, the petty things of life fail to disturb and poison us. This means living in the higher part of the mind where the air, light, and warmth are greater.

Where all good things originate. Keep your thoughts in this house.

Keep happy and The things that would in the ordinary way loom large and important and upset your peace and poise. Will either fade away into nothingness or else become obviously Useful as training you to play the game of life. If we would be at our best.

In body, mind, and spirit, we must be happy. Gloom and sorrow lessen our power to be our best and to do our best. Keep happy. There is nothing to be said against it. But there is everything to be said in favor of it. Keep Happy Happiness is as much a duty towards God, our neighbors, and ourselves as is God. Forgiveness or kindness or any other virtue and happiness makes every other virtue easier and more pleasant no matter how good a success system you follow. However many excellent rules you may obey as to diet or exercise. The rule keep happy is a good addition to our daily regime. Keep happy the happy
