Happiness consists of a solid faith, good health, and a bad memory.
--Clare Boothe Luce

Resentments are guaranteed to hinder our growth. We can never know full happiness when resentment clouds our vision. Why is it so hard for us to "forget" the small injuries of life? We have never been promised freedom from pain. Many of the lessons we are destined to learn will scuff our egos. But we will know happiness, completely, if we free our minds of resentments.

The formula for happiness is simple. We don't need material wealth, a perfect job, or an exceptional relationship. In fact, it's possible to know happiness with no job, very little money, and no significant other. Happiness is a by-product of a healthy attitude. And a healthy attitude is one that takes the normal turmoil of life.

I am in charge of my attitude today. Happiness is a choice I can make regardless of what the people around me are doing.

happiness begins with faith in God, at least for me anyway. i have nothing but guy has provided me with happiness and love for mankind. i try to keep all the negative things out of my life and expect each day that something good will come my way, and it always does, not by material things, not by a high paying job but i am happier now than i have ever been in my life. i too am in charge of my attitude and i have God to guide me and grade me.angel
