More than 100 years ago, author Robert Louis Stevenson offered the following tips for maintaining a positive attitude.They still apply today.
- Make your mind up to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
- Make the best of your circumstances.Everyone has problems. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.
- Don’t take yourself too seriously. Don’t think that somehow you should be protected by misfortunes that befall others.
- You can’t please everybody. Don’t let criticism worry you.
- Don’t let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself.
- Do the things you enjoy doing, but stay out of debt.
- Don’t borrow trouble. Imaginary burdens are harder to bear than the actual ones.
- Hate poisons the soul, so don’t carry grudges.Avoid people who make you unhappy.
- Have many interests. If you can’t travel, read about new places.(or download Google Earth and move about!)
