1. Happiness comes from knowing you can handle things. Become confident, and happiness will follow.

2. To be happy, find a human need and help fill it.

3. Take Jesus, the greatest giver of happiness the world has ever known, into your heart. His presence in your life will bring you joy and happiness.

4. Be happy about your struggles. They can bring you untold satisfaction as you conquer them.

5. Emotional control results in happiness. Do not allow the heat of the moment to get the best of you.

—Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
