  1. Two Happiness Traps • We postpone our happiness - “I’ll be happy when....”( When the house is paid off, when we go to Phuket, Bali, or Hawaii, when I find a better job...) • We look back to the past and say, “If I have known today was going to be so awful, I would have been happy yesterday.” • HAPPINESS is not a when - Happiness is a now.

  2. Work! • Lots of people will tell you ,“I’ll be happier if my job was easier.” But when work gets easier, they quit, and look for another challenge. • The truth is, we love challenge. Let’s stop kidding ourselves! Nearly every job is repetitious. • Often, the secret to enjoying a job is not to change your job but to change your attitude.

  3. Law of Progress Everything has ups and downs - nothing travels in straight lines. This applies to your own progress in any project. Keep your eye on your target, keep putting in the effort and you reach your target despite the ups and downs. Successful people realise that they reach their goals by continuously correcting. We get off course, correct, and get back on course. Ships do it. Rockets and missiles do it. Correct. Correct. Correct.

  4. The key to happiness is not that you never get upset, frustrated or irritated. • It is how quickly you decide to snap out of it.

  5. Happiness is not dependent on your circumstances or your bank balance. Happiness is a daily decision.
