Tips for a Happier Life

I apologize for the cheese level of this post, but I needed to hear these things today and thought maybe some of you could too...
  • Wake up each morning and say out loud, "My purpose today is ______________."
  • Before going to bed each night, say out loud, "I am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished ___________."
  • Try to make at least 3 people smile each day.
  • Smile and laugh more.
  • Take a 10-30 minute walk every day and smile while you are walking.
  • Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
  • Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes every day.
  • Life is too short to hate anyone.
  • Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
  • Don't win every argument. Agree to disagree.
  • What others think of you is none of your business.
  • Don't compare your life with others. You don't know their journey.
  • You are in charge of your own happiness.
  • Love.
  • Forgive.
