How to Grow Happiness

Step 1:

Plant yourself deep in a bed of faith,

and pack it down solid and tight. Drench

daily with positive thinking, and keep

saturated just right. Mulch often with

forgiveness, for this will help you grow.

Quickly remove any seeds of worry,

for they will soon germinate, and keep

out the weeds of despair. Nourish

disappointments with hope whenever it is

needed, and always stay cool and shaded

when you feel irritated or heated. Trim

away guilt or depression, for they create

decay, and cultivate with happy memories

as often as every day.



Step 2:

Harvest the lessons of the past; just

dig, pick, and hoe. And nurture the roots

of the present, for now is when you

flourish and grow. Start planting for the

future; set your goals in a row. Spade

the bed well for all your dreams to grow.



Step 3:

Remember that grief is a natural

predator, so learn to tolerate some

damage. Protect your garden with daily

prayers, for this will help you manage.

Bury the criticism and complaining, for

they are injurious pests.

Sow the seed of love wherever you

you may go - for joy, love, and laughter

are surely bound to grow. Although the

thorns of life may be here to stay, just

sprout a smile along the way... and be

thankful for what you have today!

This is !T !!!!!!!!!!

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be.
Slower is better.
Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve
then heck no, you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
DO NOT SETTLE!! If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably Is!
Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women.
He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant,
Why would he treat you any differently?
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.
If something bothers you, speak up.
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has
more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god.
He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are.
Never borrow someone else's man.
Oh Lord!? If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two-way
street.
You need time to heal between relationships..........there is nothing cute
about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists
of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not
supplementary.
Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.
Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and your always readily available to him- he takes it for granted.
Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
Share this with other ladies..... You'll make someone SMILE, another
RETHINK her choices, and another woman PREPARE.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate
them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.
