We want to be happy, but often we ourselves create the barriers to happiness. Now before you deny it, recall the last time you swapped stores about that rude police officer. Or the burnt steak you got. Or the nagging missus. Or the lousy ‘friend’ who screwed you over.

Friends, by focusing on the negative, you create a mindset that shields you from bliss: even if Happiness stomped you on the foot, you wouldn’t know it.

Don’t suck the positive vibes out of the room. Be the shining beacon!

How?

Try these for size:

- Focus on the shiny aspects of things that come your way
- Talk only of the good.
- Assume all people are nice
- Take time to smile

And there you have it. Follow this Rx and you’ll be a happier camper!
