WHAT IS THE SECRET TO HAPPINESS?
 

i'm curious to know what everybodies opinion is on the secret to happiness. Here we go!!!

Being a Christian. I am only truly happy when my spiritual life is in order.

stay alert <BR>wear comfortble shoes <BR>don't live in fear

I am not a Christian. But I am happy when my spiritual life is in order. <BR>(That's right. Other people have happ y lives, too.) In fact, I can be quite happy when my spiritual life is not in order. In fact, I can be happy without a spiritual life. <BR>If I don't have one, then it cannot be out of order and thus make me unhappy. <BR>

Cristina: <BR> <BR>Kristen says it better than I. I keep dabbling on the internet and that definately is not a part of the equation, but its mindless and fun and questions like this one and a few others help to keep me in a positive place. <BR> <BR>Happy Travels <BR>Oaktown

The Secret to Happiness? Laughing while reading Sherry's thread....

When did this become a 'teen chat room' like on AOL? <BR>I thought this was a travel site? <BR>But since I'm writing back, I'm with Kristen.

Obviously, then, Jews and Muslims will never be happy.

The absolute key to happiness in life is low expectations. <BR> <BR>If anything good happens you can be pleasantly surprised. <BR> <BR>If bad things happen, you were already planning on that, so you're not disappointed. <BR> <BR>The few times in life I found myself really down about something are times when I can see in retrospect that I was expecting too much of the situation (or the place, event, person in question, myself, whatever...).

Well then, Lisa, you sound like a Buddhist! :) I agree with you, though. Unrealistic expectations are the source of much unhappiness - including one's travel expectations!

The secret to happiness...sorry I can't tell you...it's a secret!

I smile every day with the thought that they haven't found the evidence... ;)

Speak softly and wear a loud shirt! <BR> <BR>Find a great spouse/partner with a zest for life and travel and do it! <BR> <BR>Never take yourself seriously. <BR> <BR>One of "Kimos Rules": <BR>No Rain-No Rainbows <BR> <BR>Mahalo, <BR>Kal

Never dwell on the past, nor worry about the future. <BR>Experience the present moment to it's fullest.

1. To love and be loved <BR>2. A roof over my head <BR>3. Food on my table <BR>4. The bills all paid <BR>5. A wee bit left over for travel <BR>6. A good handle on spirituality.

My opinion of happiness is that my cancer that almost killed me last year NEVER returns! <BR> <BR>Know that sounds like a bummer, but it's real!

Carol, yes, I kinda know .... 1-4-96. Happy endings are very possible!!! Keep believing. You have a good thought coming your way right now. Ciao, Leone
