Poppa Terry’s Words of Wisdom #151: Juliana Totta posted the other day: “I have found the key to happiness. Stay away from assholes.” Funny and I do agree with that. However, there are other things that most happy folks do in their daily lives. “Random thoughts about making yourself happy” 1) Say thank you every time you can. 2) Don’t hold a grudge. 3) Smile at people you don’t know – although they might think you’re strange… 4) Finish what you start. 5) Use difficult situations for personal growth…kids, that ain’t easy, but worth it. 6) Be spiritual – I have a daily prayer that takes one minute while I am driving. 7) Cultivate optimism. 8) Try to make others succeed. 9) Don’t compare yourself to others. 10) Be humble…not so easy for me… 11) Have close friendships and relationships. 12) Hang out with other happy folks. 13) Practice “random acts of kindness”. It’s okay to over tip the waiter or to pay for a meal at McDonalds for someone you don’t know. 14) Take care of your body. As most of you know, I’ve become a fitness junkie…but, I still like my beer… 15) Learn to forgive. 16) Develop positive ways for coping. 17) Say positive things when spoken to. 18) Do fun things…collect those lasting memory moments. 19) Turn off the damn TV. Listen to cool music and play a board game with your family. 20) If you KNOW you are doing the right thing, don’t worry about what other people think. 21) Always set goals to better yourself. 22) Learn to say NO and set appropriate boundaries. 23) Lastly, don’t worry about “having it all”. Most of us in the United States really do “have it all” compared to the rest of the world. This weekend, I am fortunate to roadtrip to Nashville with Tom Beard and the Stephenson clan from Lexington to see both the Chiefs and Tigers. Who wudda thunk they would be both 4-0? I have packed the following items: jeans, cowboy boots, logo wear, and PBR. Locked and loaded, ready to roll; I’ll post the Rated PG pictures only….. Have a great weekend everyone…and Don’t Worry, Be Happy. Terry
