More and Less

“Think of friends who always seem happy and cheerful…Happier people tend to appreciate everyone around them and forgive more easily. These actions are meaningful to people and make the bonds of friendship stronger. When you are happy, you are easy to be around as well.

Your happiness is like a magnet that attracts others and causes them to appreciate you. They also want the same happiness that you have so their closeness could be their way of learning from you. However, if you are a person who forgets special days, then you cause heartache as expectations are crushed and hopes are dashed.

Think about being a ‘more and less’ person. Choose to forgive more, and choose to be less self-absorbed. Remember to value others by giving compliments, thanking them, and spending time with them. As you cheer friends on and rejoice with them, you will find you are happier. In letting go of yourself to focus more on others, you will share hope. You will build more friendships with people who will cheer you on…” (Hope)
