Whenever you notice your thoughts detour into attack mode, say out loud or to yourself: Happiness is a choice I make.

On a piece of paper, write down the thing that is stressing you, the obstacle that is in your way. Then put it in a box and just leave it there. At the end of about a week, dispose of it - throw it in the trash or bury it - some sort of ritualistic act of releasing it.

You have to know your triggers for stress and then have rituals for combating them.

I would suggest that the next generation stop looking for happiness outside of themselves but instead turn inward.

My definition of God is the ever-present essence of love.

If you stay in that new flow of positive behavior, it's hard to revert back to old patterns. But if you do fall off, just forgive yourself, recover quickly, and get right back on.

A miracle is a shift in perception. The moment that we choose to perceive our life with love, we can create miraculous change.
