Top 10 Ways to be Unhappy for the Holidays

10. Try to do everything perfectly.
9. Remember all the things you "have" to do before the end of the year.
8. Forget about the things you want to do before the end of the year.
7. Don't use Goal-Free Zones - times when you don't do anything at all.
6. Be sure to deny yourself the pleasure of receiving.
5. Give to and for everyone else -- never, ever for yourself.
4. Concentrate on material things.
3. Forget about the true meaning of the holidays -- that is, "holy days." 
    Remember, our materialistic culture is the be-all and end-all of our society.
2. Focus on what you don't have and what wasn't given to you in the past.
       And the #1 best way to be unhappy this holiday season:
1. Focus on yourself.

Think about what people haven't done for you, how they hurt you.
Focus on your body, your own aches, pains and imperfections.
Concentrate on what you lack, what's been taken from you.
Most of all, think of all the people who have more than you'll ever have.
These are the top 10 ways to join the millions of people who
will be unhappy this holiday season.
Oh, and by the way, if you'd like to be "happy" for the holidays, and all-year round, why not consider doing precisely the opposite?

      The Classic Sayings:

Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must first be overcome. Samuel Johnson

Our real duty is always found running in the direction of our worthiest desires. Bourne

If you have not often felt the joy of doing a kind act, you have neglected much, and most of all yourself.  Neilen

        
What They Are Saying
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look
so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been
opened for us.  Helen Keller (1880-1968) American Writer

To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals that is what keeps
a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him. Balzac

He who reigns within himself and rules his passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.  Milton
