Other people don’t need you troubles they have enough of their own. (Malachi 3:10) 2) Live one day at a time. You can control and conquer any sin if you will learn to live one day at a time. (James 4:13-15) 3) Learn to say “I love you”. Break open the “alabaster box” of kindness to as many people as possible each day. (Mark 14:3-6) 4) Learn to be a giver and not a getter. If you are failing to get out of life what you want it is because you are expecting to get instead of give. (Luke 6:38) 5) Seek good in everyone and be not a fault finder. (Matthew 7:1-5) 6) Pray Every Day. Reserve time in your day to thank God for His many blessing and ask for his guidance. (Luke 18:1) 7) Do at least one good deed each day. Plant the seed of “goodness” and it will produce after its kind (Acts 10:38) 8) Learn to count. All things have a place in life .Some people cannot keep the important things in first place. (Matthew 6:33) 9) Let nothing bother you. We let too many little things destroy our life. We even allow imaginary tings to bother us (Philippians 4:7) 10) Practice the “do it now” habit. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. (II Corinthians 6:1-2) 11) Fill your life with good. Clean out the trash and fill your life with good thoughts and deeds. (Philippians 4:8) 12) Learn to Laugh and learn to cry. Over 70% of physical ills can be overcome if we could learn these. (Romans 12:15) 13) Learn to practice” the Happiness Habit”. Learn to smile and the world will smile with you. (Philippians 4:4) 14) Learn to fear nothing or no one. Think on your strengths and not your weaknesses. Crowd out fear with faith. (Hebrews 11:1-6) 15) Let go and let God take over. The only way to find peace and happiness is to let God take control of our life. (Psalms 23).
