The final life lesson is Happiness. Be fully alive or fully dead. Make your life count because your time is limited. Learn to enjoy every moment of life.
Happiness is a state of mind and is not based on circumstances. Temporary elation is not lasting happiness. The culture trains us to be unhappy, tells us we are not worthy of happiness, and causes us to feel guilty when we are happy. You are God's child, you have all you need so you can give to others.
Happy people are unselfish while unhappy people are selfish. Happiness depends not on what happens to you but on how you respond to what happens to you. Happiness is determined by how you interpret your circumstances, what you perceive, and how you integrate your experiences into your life. Do you focus on what is negative or what is positive. Do you see what is the worst or what is the best. Whatever you focus on tends to grow. You get more of what you dwell on, so if you dwell on the negative you will get more negative things in your life. If you focus on what makes you unhappy, you will get more of what makes you unhappy. Conversely, if you focus on what is good, positive, and makes you happy, you will get more of that.
Don't compare yourselves to others. This is a great source of unhappiness. Realize that you are not a victim of the world. The world is not out to get you ad make you miserable. Nothing happens TO you, it just happens. Its’ not about YOU, so don’t interpret it as happening to you.
As long as you live in “when”, “if”, or “should”, you will never be happy. If you are waiting for something to happen before you can be happy, you will never be happy. If you think you can be happy only if certain conditions are present, you will never be happy. If you focus on what “should” be, you will never be happy. “Should” is an illusion; “is” is reality.
There is no problem that God can’t deal with. God can handle whatever comes your way, so relax. There is no good without bad, no light without darkness, no joy without sorrow. Learn to accept ALL that happens to you and you will find happiness.
Don’t wait for a big moment to be happy. Don’t wait to accomplish something important before you can be happy. Find the special and extraordinary in the ordinary. If you are not happy with what you have now, you won’t be happy with more. The problem is not the externals but the internals. The problem is not lack of things or circumstances, but a lack of inner development and satisfaction.
