10 Rules for Happiness<\/h1>\n

1.<\/strong> Don’t blame others for making you unhappy! Take responsibility for makingyourself<\/em> happy.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Give yourself permission<\/em> to make yourself happy – even if in so doing, others make themselves unhappy.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Make time for yourself to do things which bring you pleasure and enjoyment in the short-term without sacrificing your long-term goals.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Do things for others and your community without expecting anything back in return.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Sacrifice short-term pleasures and put up with short-term discomforts when it helps you achieve longer-term gains.<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> Accept the fallibility of others as well as yourself.<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong> Don’t take things personally.<\/p>\n

8.<\/strong> Take healthy risks even when you might fail at things at work or in your personal relationships.<\/p>\n

9.<\/strong> It doesn’t matter so much what people think about you and what you are doing.<\/p>\n

10.<\/strong> See uncertainty as a challenge – do not be afraid of it.<\/p>\n
