Happiness consists of ...

Happiness consists of a solid faith, good health, and a bad memory.-- Clare Boothe Luce

Resentments are guaranteed to hinder our growth. We can never know full happiness when resentment clouds our vision. Why is it so hard for us to "forget" the small injuries of life? We have never been promised freedom from pain. Many of the lessons we are destined to learn will scuff our egos. But we will know happiness, completely, if we free our minds of resentments.

The formula for happiness is simple. We don't need material wealth, a perfect job, or an exceptional relationship. In fact, it's possible to know happiness with no job, very little money, and no significant other. Happiness is a by-product of a healthy attitude. And a healthy attitude is one that takes the normal turmoil of life and mixes it with a belief in God's presence. The result is an acceptance of God's will and a certainty that, in spite of appearances, all is well.

I am in charge of my attitude today. Happiness is a choice I can make regardless of what the people around me are doing.

Thanks for the great Post!! I love it Hope, Health and Faith. I love it. Really makes me think of getting my program really going not just going to meetings but working out and eating right. You know overall health. I have had it before. I just have been putting low on the priority list. You know. :)


 


Flexibility is the sign of Health, Rigidity is the sign of disease or death.


I like this quote also, I makes me think how healthy is it to turn my will over to my HP and go with the flow. To be flexible and accept the things I can not change. Which frees me up to  really put my efforts into the things I can !!! So easy to waste time, energy and my thought life on the many things out of my control.


Thanks for the post help me getting my thought life back where in needs to be.


God Please take my will(including my expectations) and my life. Please help me to accept things I can not change, and be willing to change the things I can!
