Check this out.  Sounds kind of like a formula right out of AA literature.

#7  (which should've been #1)  "Be Grateful"    this is right out of  St.PeteDean's  handbook-   'Gratitude =  Happiness'  

Whatever you've got,  be grateful for it and you'll be happy.  smile.gif

No1 ~ Don't mistake pleasure for happiness.. That's genius. I've never heard that one anywhere though I have heard the message in people's experiences that these pursuits did not create happiness they were seeking. Like it says in the video, only craving.. I'm glad I know this now.. 1 is too many & 1000 never enough, Danielle x

Love the last line,

"..Have a community focused, nonintrospective day!.."
