Accept What You Have.<br /> <br /> You may look at someone and want to be as good looking as them, or as rich as them but fact is you may not be and will never be.<br /> <br /> Life is not fair as we all know and in our lives we all encounter situations where we feel we are hard done by.<br /> <br /> The fact is you can’t do anything about it.<br /> <br /> You need to accept what you have and make the best of it.<br /> <br /> It maybe a cliché but there is always someone worse off than you.<br /> <br /> When you think you’re hard done by, think of the millions of people around the world who have a far worse life than you, if you read a paper on any day you will find them.<br /> <br /> From children born with aids into extreme poverty, to people who have illnesses that make us wonder how they cope at all.<br /> <br /> A good example of a person accepting their lot was the actor Christopher Reeve.<br /> <br /> He had it all -wealth, fame, looks and a loving family but suffered horrific injuries in a horse riding accident that, left him paralyzed from the waist down.<br /> <br /> Dip he get depressed?<br /> <br /> Did he simply sit back and say life’s not fair?<br /> <br /> No he didn’t - he got on with life, set himself targets and set out to prove that he could walk again and inspire others with his efforts.<br /> <br /> He never achieved his aim, but found a new purpose in life by helping others and trying to achieve his aim and felt gratitude for the love of his family and others around him.<br /> <br /> So when you feel a bit depressed and think life’s not fair think of Christopher Reeve and the countless millions of people around the world that remain happy and are in a far worse position than you.<br /> <br /> 2. Do things to make you happy<br /> <br /> There are certain things we can all do, with a bit of motivation to make us happy.<br /> <br /> While you have to accept certain things in life others are within your reach and can make you happier.<br /> <br /> Get motivated and think what can I achieve?<br /> <br /> This is different to what you may want to achieve, so be realistic.<br /> <br /> The fact is everyone can do things to make themselves happy if their motivated.<br /> <br /> They may be simple things like, changing your job, taking up a sport, or just simply being good to people around you.<br /> <br /> You may find that a simple change such as seeing good in other people and being nice to others makes a dramatic difference to your life.<br /> <br /> By being nice to others, you will find they are nice to you and this can open up all sorts of opportunities to make your life better.<br /> <br /> In fact loving and being loved, is perhaps one of the simplest ways to achieve happiness.<br /> <br /> Being happy is simple:<br /> <br /> Accept what you have and make the best of it – achieving happiness really is that simple.</p> Wed, 10 Oct 2007 17:41:36 +0800 sgforums.com:2667:284883:7258603 gigabyte14 http://sgforums.com/forums/2667/topics/284883
