Happy Heart Pass the Good Words ...

Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears. - F.F.O

Be Thankful Even for Simple Things - Quote

If someone comes into your life and becomes a part of you but for some reasons he couldn't stay, don't cry too much ... just be GLAD that your paths crossed and somehow he made you HAPPY even for a while. :)

How does self-respect contribute to our happiness? (1)

One part of your life that either builds self-respect or tears it down is behavior–the choices you make. Everyone is involved in a multitude of choices every day and your self-respect depends on the quality of your performance.

You do your best.
You do poorly.

You do it right.
You mess it up.

You do what is required.
You cheat.

You follow instructions.
You disobey.

You give it all you've got.
You do it half-heartedly.

You keep your agreements.
You go back on your word.

These and more are choices you make day after day, according to the principles that guide you.

Consider some statements from wise King David:

Knowledge of Sin

Thy word have I treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against Thee (Ps. 119:11).

Insight and Understanding

I have more insight than all my teachers, for Thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the aged, because I have observed thy precepts. I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Thy word (Ps. 119:99-101).

Peace and Stability

Those who love Thy law have great peace, and nothing causes them to stumble (Ps. 119:165).

Stop Tears in their Tracks

Although crying can be a healthy release, sometimes the setting isn’t right for shedding a tear. For instance, it’s a good bet you don’t want to blubber in front of your coworkers. Try this advice to increase your odds of keeping your cool.

APPLY PRESSURE Poking your fingertip with a paper clip helps shift your focus and activate the part of the brain that controls impulse. More control means fewer tears.

JUST OUT YOUR JAW As soon as your eyes start to well up, push your jaw forward in an exaggerated underbite. Apparently it’s difficult to sob and make a silly face at the same time, the two actions aren’t compatible.

TAKE IT OUTSIDE Going for a quick walk helps fend off the sobs in three ways: Removing yourself from the situation restores a sense of calm. Doing something active stimulates feel-good endorphins that can counter a weepy mood. And if you still cry, well at least you’re our of sight.
