Happiness is a choice. If you choose to be happy, then choose to be compassionate. Choose to be humble. Choose to be productive, that is, industrious, hard working.
Happy people are self-disciplined. They are masters of themselves, and servants to others. They are never selfish, but always grateful for what they have. They take pride in doing a good job, but are never boastful. They rejoice in the success of others, never resentful.
Happy people seek not possessions, but wisdom. They seek not praise, but respect, and that begins with respect for others. They never feel entitled to respect, but seek to earn it.
Happy people understand that material possessions are not toys for self-indulgence, but are tools for doing good.
Happy people seek to help other people be happy.
(These thoughts do not come from me; they are inspired by various passages from the Bible.)
