how to be happier

being emo isn't good or cool k?
so here's some things everyone should try~
(from the boook "The Secret")

1. Learn to appreciate
We never get enough. whether ur filthy rich or damn broke... u'll never be satisfied. so why keep on wanting stuff when u allrdy hav that much NOW? think of the things you HAVE instead of dreaming of things you don't have. being appreciative is the 1st step to being happy for LIFE.

2. Be positive (EVERYDAY!)
of course i'm not asking you to smile like Joker everyday! dats just plain stupid! just be happy and content at heart! tell yourself that your not going 2 let anything piss u off. being ANGRY is just blaming YOURSELF for OTHER people's mistakes! so... why be so dumb?~

don't make it a chore (I must be like that) or even a habit. just think of things that make u happy (ur fav. stuff, ppl you really care about) when you need to (stressed, angry bout someting/someone). doing things you like definately helps here.

3. Be kind and sympathetic
Learn to care for other people. evryone needs some1 to talk to. even those who are always strong eventually break down. just by being there, you can make a difference to someone's life! be a good listener, an encourage your friends to talk whenever they feel like! it doesn't mean you have to help them SOLVE their pblms... most just need someone to pour out their soul at...

4. Learn to let go
Being people with emotions, it is hard for us to not be upset or disappointed once in a while. Things might never go your way. Friends might hurt you (whether with intention or not) and life just doesn't seem fair at times. By being POSITIVE and strong at heart, u can overcome almost anything on your own!

many times things aren't always THAT serious as we think. loosing a best friend just means having a chance to find another one. all things bad can be looked at from a diff. point of view... so don't always think it's the end of the world!!~

remember that while we all hope to be happy forever with life, we just can't be like that! if we are happy forever, how are we going to live the future? how are we going to improve?!? Learning to let go is NEVER EASY! obviously most of the times it HURTS! but getting hurt for a while is better than being in pain for a lifetime~ by letting go of the past, you welcome new possibilities in the future!
