13 Steps to Unhappiness (to be rid of)

Of course, I'm not wanting to encourage people to be unhappy by writing this kind of post. But what I am wanting to do is to point out some habit patterns that can and oftentimes do contribute to a person's unhappiness. And maybe one or more of these is a stumbling block for you? And could it be that's why your heart's so heavy?

13 Steps to Unhappiness (to be rid of):

• Measure your success by someone else's.


• Rehearse your failures over and over again.


• Hang around people who are discontent.


• Set your goals so high not even Superman could reach them.


• See the glass as half full with a hole in the bottom of it.


• Undermine another person's happiness. ("If I'm not happy, no one deserves to be.")


• Never release/forgive those who have hurt you.


• Worry about things that are beyond your control.


• Be mad all the time.


• Wear a frown on your face.


• Turn your back on those in need.


• Be convinced the world owes you a living.


• Raise your voice and yell when you don't get your way.
