<description><![CDATA[I found out that you can not make people happy.  Happiness must come from within a person.  I could possibly please someone- however each person must want to be happy.  I know someone that says over and over again. "You got to want to be happy!"  He will ask you first- do you want to be happy?  You must answer the question for him or he will persist in asking the question before attempting to please you.

<description><![CDATA[I did volunteer work at the local Covenant House in New Orleans a few years back.   A young man that had run away from home to the New Orleans French Quarter to live happily ever after was in my class room.  He said, "Hey mister are you rich?"  I replied to him - "well you first have to define rich."  I have my health and I have food in my refrigerator at home.  If you mean do I have money, well my wife Marie handles the money. She is a money manager.  I am not sure how much she has saved for a rainy day.

<description><![CDATA[I get to choose which way to go.  All of nature has no choice.  They are creatures of destiny.  We as humans can be in charge of our own destiny if we want to be.  A fun thing to reduce stress is to say after each outcome-  This could be good!   This could be bad!    When something happens that you do not want to happen. Say to yourself, "This could be good!"   When something happens that you want to happen. Say to yourself, "This could be bad!"

I am willing to learn (accept). I am willing to change (live).  Whatever you resist tends to persist.  Fall in love with learning (doing) something new.

<description><![CDATA[Two heads are better than one. Three heads are better than two, except when they are arguing.   Do not go it alone.  Ask for help.  One of the seven deadliest sins is pride.  I would rather do it myself.   Success is a team effort.  When someone gets the academy award they start thanking all the people that contributed to the winning of the award.  One person gets the award and all of them get the cash.  If no one cares who get the credit as long as everyone gets the cash, two or more ordinary people can do extraordinary things.
