Investment in Happiness

Always stay true to yourself – Choosing to be somebody that you are not hurts you and everyone around you.  Love and appreciate what makes you special. 

Avoid running after materialistic things – The obsession for money and what it could buy is a time bomb against your soul.  Your prospective becomes twisted, blinding you from the true purpose of your life.    

Have Faith in God – Having faith in God requires the belief in a higher being that promised that we would always be provided for, even during the toughest of times.    If we believe that promise we will not stress our bodies with worry and depression.  But, if we choose to not believe than stress will be an issue as well as other possible health concerns.  Stress = No faith in God

Always question what does not feel right to you – Never allow yourself to be talked into anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or compromises your integrity.

Avoid living in excess – Just because you have the money to own thirty designer purses do not mean that you should have thirty designer purses.  The only thing it says is that you know how to waste money.

10 Ways to Invest in Your Happiness

Choose to do right even when it is easier to do wrong – Life is about the choices we make in our response to everyday living. The more bad choices you make the more bad turns you will take.  The more good choices you make a better person you will become every day. 

Always remember the less fortunate/Give to charity – Remembering the less fortunate and giving to charity puts your life in perspective, showing how fortunate you truly are and how good it feels to pay it forward. 

Do not make the same mistakes twice - Mistakes are unavoidable.  They are needed so that we can learn valuable lessons pertaining to our lives. Lessons that some people choose to sign up for again and again. 

Appreciate the things in life that cannot be bought – Be thankful for the smiles that your children/family gives you and the warm touch of your spouse as you lay in bed together.  Wake up happy knowing that you were given another day to make a difference.

Love with an open, pure heart – Love free from judgment and prejudice.  Expect good before wrong and always see the truth for yourself.
