Five Simple Rules to Be Happy

hello,winterose,you are right.The first thing is to live simply,a more complex life may mean more worries,we have to compete or catch up something everyday which may make us tired and frustrated. Giving more means to help people without asking for reward,we should also be satisfied with what we have at the moment,if we have too much expectations,we will get disappointed at the end.And of course hatred will make you unhappy as you may always try to get even with something/someone.

If every one in the world has the same thoght expect less anbd give more It would be wonderful.No war and less conflict every one live in the peacefull and harnony world.

Yes, I totally agree. We would definitely be healthier and happier if we were to follow those simple practices. I've devoted much energy to freeing and easing my mind and trying to help others do the same. What is challenging for me is the "expect less" part. I know that life can be beautiful and exciting. I know that people can love and laugh and be compassionate. It's hard for me to expect and accept less than that - especially from those who are closest to me. I may not believe in a deity or a particular religion but I do believe in the resiliency of the human spirit. We CAN relax, laugh, live and feel for one another sincerely. I know that I can only change that "man in the mirror" but it would be nice if he weren't standing there by himself!

All of the above mentioned are true. I used to be a worrier especially after I have my first child. Eventually, I tried to be more relax and take control of my faculty.

Well practice makes perfect. But I don't think following these would change everything, although it could help. some are past this sort of advice, but I do agree with some of them. Kudos, ~Joey

I word mine alittle differently but basicly I've found that to live with consideration,letting go of the petty things in life,doing what you want done to you,finding joy in what you have,and the hard one is to try to let others worry about themselves and not do too much for people..Let them do it themself.. I like how your are stated..Nice!

Good rules:)And wise. Sometimes theese spam messages what request a forward them to as much people as we can -have some good ideas:-)

Well I am not totally sure that is would make us happy . But it should would be a huge contributing factor . They are excellent rules to practice .

The five rules seems simple. But when we try to impliment them into our life we will come to understand that it is not that simple. The most toughest thing would be to free your mind from worries and hatred. But I however don't worry much about things or keep hatred towards anybody. Hatred and worries destroys mental peace and stability. With such a complicated mind we may not be able to lead a healthy life. These five principles are dear to ne. I follow them and experiene the possitive effect of them in my life. Thank you.
