Alphabet of Happiness
To be able to read, we need to master our ABCs. To experience happiness,
we need to be thankful for the simple things in life. Learn the
Alphabet of Happiness. If you find it helpful, take time to share
it with your boss, officemates and friends.
A - Accept. Accept others for who they are and
for the choices they've made even if you have difficulty understanding
their beliefs, motives, or actions.
B - Break Away. Break away from everything that
stands in the way of what you hope to accomplish with your life.
C - Create. Create a family of friends whom you
can share your hopes, dreams, sorrows, and happiness with.
D - Decide. Decide that you'll be successful and
joyful come what may, and good things will find you. The roadblocks
are only minor obstacles along the way.
E - Explore. Explore and experiment. The world
has much to offer, and you have much to give. And every time you
try something new, you'll learn more about yourself.
F - Forgive. Forgive and forget. Grudges only weigh
you down and inspire unhappiness and grief. Soar above it, and remember
that everyone makes mistakes.
G - Grow. Leave the childhood monsters behind.
They can no longer hurt you or stand in your way.
H - Hope. Hope for the best and never forget that
anything is possible as long as you remain dedicated to the task.
I - Ignore. Ignore the negative voice inside your
head. Focus instead on your goals and remember your accomplishments.
Your past success is only a small inkling of what the future holds.
J - Journey. Journey to new worlds, new possibilities,
by remaining open-minded. Try to learn something new every day,
and you'll grow.
K - Know. Know that no matter how bad things seem,
they'll always get better. The warmth of spring always follows the
harshest winter.
L - Love. Let love fill your heart instead of hate.
When hate is in your heart, there's room for nothing else, but when
love is in your heart, there's room for endless happiness.
M - Manage. Manage your time and your expenses
wisely, and you'll suffer less stress and worry. Then you'll be
able to focus on the important things in life.
N - Notice. Never ignore the poor, infirm, helpless,
weak, or suffering. Offer your assistance when possible, and always
your kindness and understanding.

around you. Even during the worst of times, there's still much to
be thankful for.
P - Play. Never forget to have fun along the way.
Success means nothing without happiness.

here to learn.

your life, and remember that things always have a way of working
out in the end.

T - Try. Even when your dreams seem impossible to reach,
try anyway. You'll be amazed by what you can accomplish.

who've supported and encouraged you, and Be there for them as well.
