Are the things you get angry over spoiling your happiness?

Okay, so I'm trying to do better. I'm trying to let that nonsense go and not be such a picky old curmudgeon myself. In our year-long study of happiness, it hit me recently that many of us (including me) sabotage our good days by letting unimportant things upset us.

This is something we can change! This is something we can correct, and when we do, we'll be happier singles! This month let's look at the minor things we get angry over…

Carry this with you

But feelings aren't facts;
they're not always true.
You're not alone because
I'm always with you.

Carry this with you
wherever you go.
No one on earth
can cherish you so.
No one else gave up
his life for you.
No one can love you
as much as I do.

I'm standing beside you
through heartache and tears.
My hand's on your shoulder
through all of your fears.

I know you can't see me
but I am still there.
I'll never desert you.
That's how much I care.

So carry this with you
wherever you go.
Whenever you're frightened
I want you to know.
I'm your Friend and Protector.
I'll keep you from harm.
Until the day comes
when you're safe in my arms.

They're mini but they're big!

You can choose from three: "God is Your Biggest Fan," "When God Seems Far Away," and "You Can't Let Failure Stop You." Or hey, pick them all, because they're absolutely F-R-E-E!

They're in PDF format. Just print them out and tuck them in an envelope to send to a friend who's down. Pack one into a special person's lunch. Or sneak one onto the desk of a coworker who needs a boost.

You'll find the Mini-Encouragers on this page…

By domestic bliss, I don't think he's necessarily referring to marriage, but to home life. This ties in perfectly with this month's feature article.

You can continue to be a "volatile spirit" if you want. You can pop your cork, give people a piece of your mind, and stew over slights and imagined offenses. But don't blame anyone else for your unhappiness.

Change your attitude and change your life. If you see the world as a welcoming place filled with friends instead of enemies, the world gradually transforms itself before your eyes.

Once and for all: Can you buy happiness?

You'll learn how to stop sabotaging yourself, and in the process you'll be unhappy less often, opening the way to be happy more often.

Will it matter a hundred years from now?

Remarkably, some things will matter, because they'll affect how someone else's (or their children's or grandchildren's) life comes out. But the acid test is trying to remember what honked you off a year ago. Completely forgotten and meaningless now, huh?
