Beginning this very moment, be a happy person.
- Truly understand the concept of happiness that few others before you have been able to grasp
- The truth of the physical law that enables one to live happily every day.
Happiness is not an emotional phantom floating in and out of my life.
- It is a choice.
- It is the end result of certain thoughts and activities, which actually bring about a chemical reaction in your body.
- This reaction results in a euphoria that, while elusive to some, is totally under your control.
Greet each day with laughter.
- Within moments of awakening, laugh for seven seconds.
- Even after such a small period of time, excitement has begun to flow through your bloodstream. You feel different. You are different! You are enthusiastic about the day. You are alert to its possibilities. You are happy!
- Laughter is an outward expression of enthusiasm, and enthusiasm is the fuel that moves the world.
- Laugh throughout the day.
- Laugh while you are alone, and laugh in conversation with others.
- People are drawn to you because you have laughter in your heart.
- The world belongs to the enthusiastic, for people will follow them anywhere!
Smile at every person you meet. Your smile is the most potent weapon you possess.
- Your smile has the strength to forge bonds, break ice, and calm storms.
- Use my smile constantly. Because of your smile, the people with whom you come in contact on a daily basis will choose to further your causes and follow your leadership.
- Always smile first. That particular display of a good attitude will tell others what you expect to return.
Your smile is the key to your emotional makeup.
- A wise man once said, “I do not sing because I am happy; I am happy because I sing!”
- When you choose to smile, you become the master of your emotions.
- Discouragement, despair, frustration, and fear will always wither when confronted by your smile.
- The power of who you are is displayed when you smile.

owing gratitude for a service or favor continually
Be the possessor of a grateful spirit. It is impossible for the seeds of depression to take root in a thankful heart.
God has bestowed upon you many gifts, and for these you shall remember to be grateful.
- Too many times we offer up the prayers of a beggar, always asking for more and forgetting to give thanks.
- Do not wish to be seen as a greedy child, unappreciative and disrespectful.
- Be grateful for sight and sound and breath.
- If ever in your life there is a pouring out of blessings beyond that, then be grateful for the miracle of abundance.
