Twelve Rules For Happiness


Twelve Rules For Happiness:

Happiness is a habit, a by product of right thinking and living.

1. Live a simple life. Be temperate in your habits. Avoid self-seeking and selfishness. Make simplicity the keynote of your daily plans. Simple things are best.

2. Spend less than you earn. It may be difficult, but it pays large dividens in contentment. Keep out of debt. Cultivate frugality, prudence and self -denial. Avoid extravagance.

3. Think constructively. Train yourself to think clearly and accurately. Store your mind with useful thoughts. Stand porter at the door of your mind.

4. Cultivate a yielding disposition. Resist the common tendency to want your own way. See the other’s viewpoint.

5. Be grateful. Begin the day with gratitude for your opportunities. Be glad for the privilege of life and work.

6. Rule your moods. Cultivate a mental attitude of peace and goodwill.

7. Give generously. There is no greater joy in life than to render happiness to others by means of intelligent giving.

8. Work with right motives. The highest purpose of your life should be to grow in spiritual grace and power.

9. Be interested in others. Divert your mind from self-centeredness. In the degree that you give, serve and help, you will experience the by product of happiness.

10. Live in a day tight compartment. That is live one day at a time. Concentrate on your immediate task. Make the most of today.

11. Have a hobby. Nature study, walking, gardening, music, golfing, carpentry, stamp collecting, sketching, voice culture, public speaking, foreign language, chess, books, photography, social service, travel, authorship. Cultivate an avocation to which you can turn for diversion and relaxation.

12. Keep close to God. True and enduring happiness depends primarily upon close alliance with him. It is your privilege to share his thoughts for your spiritual nourishment and to have constant assurance of divine protection and guidance.

The consequences of today are determined by the actions of the past.
To change your future, alter your decisions today.

Stille natt/Silent night with norwegian and english Lyrics

  
Stille natt! (Norwegian Lyrics)
 
Stille natt! Heilage natt!
Alle sov, eine att
sit dei unge, dei utvalde to,
ser på barnet, så lukkeleg no:
Sov i himmelsæl ro!
Sov i himmelsæl ro!
Stille natt! Heilage natt!
Hyrdingar får høyra radt:
Frå den himmelske englehær
tonar til dei frå fjern og nær:
Krist, vår Frelsar, er her!
Krist, vår Frelsar er her!
Stille natt! Heilage nau!
Jesusbarnet vår dyre skatt!
Kjærleik lyser frå bodskapsord
til dei lengtande folk på jord.
Jesus er gåva vår stor!
Jesus er gåva vår stor!  

 Silent Night (English Lyrics)
(Gruber/Mohr) 

Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Sleep in Heavenly peace

Silent night, Holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born

Silent night, Holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy Holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
