10 Science Says Will Make You Happy
Pause now and then to smell a rose or watch children at play. Study participants who took time to “savor” ordinary events that they normally hurried through, or to think back on pleasant moments from their day, “showed significant increases in happiness and reductions in depression,” says psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky.
2. Avoid Comparisons
While keeping up with the Joneses is part of American culture, comparing ourselves with others can be damaging to happiness and self-esteem. Instead of comparing ourselves to others, focusing on our own personal achievement leads to greater satisfaction, according to Lyubomirsky.
3. Put Money Low on the List
People who put money high on their priority list are more at risk for depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, according to researchers Tim Kasser and Richard Ryan. Their findings hold true across nations and cultures. “The more we seek satisfactions in material goods, the less we find them there,” Ryan says. “The satisfaction has a short half-life—it’s very fleeting.” Money-seekers also score lower on tests of vitality and self-actualization.
4. Have Meaningful Goals
“People who strive for something significant, whether it’s learning a new craft or raising moral children, are far happier than those who don’t have strong dreams or aspirations,” say Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener. “As humans, we actually require a sense of meaning to thrive.” Harvard’s resident happiness professor, Tal Ben-Shahar, agrees, “Happiness lies at the intersection between pleasure and meaning. Whether at work or at home, the goal is to engage in activities that are both personally significant and enjoyable.”
5. Take Initiative at Work
How happy you are at work depends in part on how much initiative you take. Researcher Amy Wrzesniewski says that when we express creativity, help others, suggest improvements, or do additional tasks on the job, we make our work more rewarding and feel more in control.
6. Make Friends, Treasure Family
Happier people tend to have good families, friends, and supportive relationships, say Diener and Biswas-Diener. But it’s not enough to be the life of the party if you’re surrounded by shallow acquaintances. “We don’t just need relationships, we need close ones” that involve understanding and caring.
7. Smile Even When You Don’t Feel Like It
It sounds simple, but it works. “Happy people…see possibilities, opportunities, and success. When they think of the future, they are optimistic, and when they review the past, they tend to savor the high points,” say Diener and Biswas-Diener. Even if you weren’t born looking at the glass as half-full, with practice, a positive outlook can become a habit.
8. Say Thank You Like You Mean It
People who keep gratitude journals on a weekly basis are healthier, more optimistic, and more likely to make progress toward achieving personal goals, according to author Robert Emmons. Research by Martin Seligman, founder of positive psychology, revealed that people who write “gratitude letters” to someone who made a difference in their lives score higher on happiness, and lower on depression—and the effect lasts for weeks.
9. Get Out and Exercise
A Duke University study shows that exercise may be just as effective as drugs in treating depression, without all the side effects and expense. Other research shows that in addition to health benefits, regular exercise offers a sense of accomplishment and opportunity for social interaction, releases feel-good endorphins, and boosts self-esteem.
10. Give It Away, Give It Away Now!
Make altruism and giving part of your life, and be purposeful about it. Researcher Stephen Post says helping a neighbor, volunteering, or donating goods and services results in a “helper’s high,” and you get more health benefits than you would from exercise or quitting smoking. Listening to a friend, passing on your skills, celebrating others’ successes, and forgiveness also contribute to happiness, he says. Researcher Elizabeth Dunn found that those who spend money on others reported much greater happiness than those who spend it on themselves.

Trees That Wood
Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty."
Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."
Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me."
After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he said, "This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter" ... and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.
At the second tree a woodsman said, "This looks like a strong tree, I should be able to sell it to the shipyard." The second tree was happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, "I don't need anything special from my tree so I'll take this one", and he cut it down.
When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for. The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end. The third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark. The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.
Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time. Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and said "Peace" and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.
The moral of this story is that when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts. Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined. We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know that His ways are not our ways, but His ways are always best.

Share a psalm!
SHARE A PSALM
When words are difficult to find or the pressures of events distract my thoughts I find it helpful to share a Psalm, making the words of the psalmist my own prayer or request and applying them to my own situation. Here are a few examples of where I look for help in the Psalms when I feel,
- Afraid 3, 91
- Alone 27
- Envious 73
- Like giving up 34, 43
- Sad 13
- Weak 40, 121, 142
- Worried 37
- Tempted 141
- Unimportant 139
- Like praising God 96, 100, 145
PRAYING THE PSALMS
The Book of Psalms is really a book of prayers. From praise and giving thanks, to asking forgiveness, overcoming temptation, dealing with discouragement, facing fear, finding guidance, seeking wisdom or gaining courage. No matter how we feel, in the Psalms we find words to express every human condition and they teach about how God wants us to communicate with him. It’s reassuring to know that the psalmists had the same feelings we do, and weren’t afraid of expressing them to God!
Sobrang sarap ng feeling
I'm in awe when I read Paulina's event invitation. She is really dedicated.
1. her cellphone
2. Facebook
Contact her through:
1. email: pmiranda_2990@yahoo.com <-- THIS SHE WILL KEEP
2. Enzo Miranda's facebook account. YOU CAN MESSAGE HIM
3. personal meetings or trysts or whatever
4. secret emergency phone
5. landline
She is doing this to/for:
1. learn time management
2. focus
3. have direction in life; stop being aimless
4. stick to her word; wants to be on time
5. have more personal relationships with you; when she is there, she is there for you; she is yours 100%-- set a time and date, and she'll be there
6. growth
7. detachment; an application of the wisdom of Christ and Buddhism
How long will this go on?
For as long as her family isn't complaining about how hard it is to contact her; as she deems it necessary for academic purposes (sometimes she keeps in touch best through facebook)
It is quite impractical but this will teach her a lot. She needs this.
SEE YOU IN REAL LIFE! Hope to have a more meaningful life!

Letter from an aborted child
"I am writing this letter to all mothers that have aborted a child. I, a victim, write this letter from all of us who have died in the hands of evil. I want to tell all mothers to stop crying for our absence because we are fine here. Our dad, God, is happy to have us, however we would be happier if we were with our parents. We are very happy and pray to God for you, mothers, so that you would not abort more children, neither would you allow more children to die this way. I want to tell you my story and tell all mothers the reality of abortion.
I remember very well the moment that separated me from the most beautiful living paradise; the moment that a machine detached me from my mother's womb. I had just finished eating and was ready to go to sleep, as usual. Listening to my mother talking I heard a strange voice. This voice projected me fear and I cried. I remember my mother feeling uneasy and scared as I felt her heart beat going up rapidly. I felt a huge device approaching me. I remember yelling, "Mommy! Mommy! What are you doing to me?"
All of a sudden I felt this device trying to reach me to destroy me. Impatiently I yelled again much louder. With all my strength, I clung to the most beautiful thing I had, my mother. I remember very well thinking to myself, "Why are you the most beautiful woman in the world, the one with a loving heart and full of tenderness, doing this?"
I was only a defenseless baby, or a "piece of meat" as that strange voice called me. I just wanted to be born, to fill you with kisses, hugs, and tell you that you wee the best mother in the world. I wanted to be born to brighten your gloomy days and fill you with love and happiness and, occasionally, be mischievous. I thought of the moment when you and I would hug each other, laugh at one another, cry and comfort each other. Now I see that all my dreams are about to end.
As I was thinking this, the machine grabbed one of my tiny legs and detached it from me; then the other one. I yelled with pain, "Mommy! Mommy! Don't do this to me! I beg you mama, take this pain away from me. I promise I will not do anything that you don't like. Please, don't let me die! Please mama, I beg you!"
Then my right arm was clumsily detached. Full of pain, I pleaded with my mother not to let me die. Then the other arm was detached. As a baby that loves her mother, I kept fighting against the horrible device threatening. I didn't look like a normal baby any more. I had neither arms nor legs, but I didn't care. All I wanted was my mother to tell me that she loved me and wanted her to take this pain away from me. The end was close as some clamps destroyed my head and, with an "I love you" I said good-bye to my mama.
Mama, I only want to tell you that I forgive you and I love you. Don't suffer for me. I also want to ask you for a small favor. Tell the expecting mothers that what they have in their wombs is a baby that only wants to make them happy. "
I love you mama.

"Theme is the central message of a literary work. It is not the same as a subject, which can be expressed in
a word or two: courage, survival, war, pride, etc. The theme is the idea the author wishes to convey about
that subject. It is expressed as a sentence or general statement about life or human nature. A literary work
can have more than one theme, and most themes are not directly stated but are implied. The reader must
think about all the elements of the work and use them to make inferences, or reasonable guesses, as to
which themes seem to be implied." (from Laying the Foundation series of books published by AP
Strategies in Dallas)
For example, if love is a topic/subject of two novels, a major theme in one of the novels could be "Love, if
taken to extremes, can be negative rather than positive," while in the other novel, the theme might be "Love
can conquer even the greatest evil." Notice that the topic/subject is the same, but the messages about that
topic/subject are different in different works.
Consider this:
A theme is a meaning of a work. (Yes, there can be more than one "meaning.") Can the meaning of a work
be love? hate? greed? No-that makes no sense! Those are just topics, not themes. The theme is the
statement an author is making about a topic.
