About this ebook
When you feel like you might be losing your way, this book, filled with ideas and inspiration, is your guide. Joy unites all people, and words are often how we best express our joy. Think Happy to Stay Happy is a collection of power thoughts and insightful quotes and affirmations that express some of the best ways to stay happy.
One thing the world’s wisdom traditions agree on is that states of “higher being” are not attained by stumbling around an unmarked road to “blisstown,” but result from inner work and self development. Bliss means connecting with your true self more deeply and arriving at a place of ease and awareness. If you follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you—and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living.
• Learn to be happy
• Learn about how a “gratitude adjustment” can help you stay happy
• Attain a state of bliss
