11 Rules for Happy Living

1. Count your blessings, not your troubles. Though we have problems in this life, we are still richly blessed.

2. Live one day at a time. Regardless of what Satan may throw at you, it can be handled “one day at a time” (James 4:13-15).

3. Learn to say “I Love You” to those near and dear.

4. Be a giver and not a getter. Often if you fail to get out of life what you want, it is because  you are expecting to GET instead of GIVE (Luke 6:38).

5. Seek good in everyone and everything. Be a “good” seeker and try not to be a “fault finder.”

6. Pray every day. Always take time to express to God your appreciation for blessings and ask Him for guidance (Luke 18:1).

7. Do a good deed each day. Follow the Lord’s example (Acts 10:38).

8. Watch your priorities. Keep the important things in first place (Matthew 6:33).

9. Fill your life with good. Throw away the “trash” from your life and replace it with good thoughts and deeds (Phil. 4:8).

10. Learn to practice the happiness habit. Smile, and the world will smile with you (Phil. 4:4). Make up your mind to “be happy.”

11. Let go and let God control your life. To find peace and happiness you must let God completely reign on the throne in your life. You must totally follow His will.
