IT'S UP TO YOU TO MAKE LIFE--HAPPY.

HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON YOU. BELIEVE IT. NEVER EXPECT OTHERS TO "MAKE YOU" HAPPY.

WHEN YOU DEPEND ON OTHERS FOR YOUR HAPPINESS..YOU'RE SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR DISAPPOINTMENT.

YOU-- ALONE-- ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR HAPPINESS. KNOW YOURSELF.  TEACH YOURSELF. APPRECIATE YOUR BLESSINGS-- BOTH SMALL AND LARGE--AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.  NEVER OVERLOOK YOUR IMPORTANCE, YOUR  VALUE,  AND ALWAYS  BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND.

WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS, WORRIES, SADNESS, MISTAKES, UNREALIZED DREAMS/EXPECTATIONS, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TALENTS, SUCCESSES, AND SO-MUCH-MORE-TO-LOVE THAN WE REALIZE.  ITS IMPORTANT TO CONCENTRATE ON YOUR PLUSES AND....EITHER ACCEPT OR ELIMINATE YOUR NEGATIVES.

TRY LIVING YOUR LIFE IN SUCH A WAY THAT-- EVERY DAY--YOU FIND AT LEAST ONE REASON TO BE HAPPY.

I SUGGEST YOU MAKE EVERY DAY A "HAPPY" BIRTHDAY-KIND-OF-DAY. 

STARTING NOW---CELEBRATE THE WONDER OF---YOU.
