10 steps for
unhappiness

I promised to share with you
the beliefs and ideas of others
and how they view success

One single mom named Jean-
nie who has been taking care of
herself and her
sons for several

progressing,
know that I
won't be stop-
ping here. | am
walking tall
(she's all of five
feet) and sitting
tall. It’s taking time for yourself.”
Mary, a beautiful successful
business woman with a family as
well, says, “Success is related to
happiness. Having happy positive
days. It’s the ability to grow and
learn from not so positive days.”
Vi, a mother and grandmother,
writer and self-employed,
believes success is “when I do
not react to life, but take action to
care for myself and others. It's
being the best that I can be.”" She
says, “My grandchild is in con-
trol when I react, power is in my
hand when I don't! Success is
controlling my feelings.”
I know there are many other
definitions of success. May be

one way of defining it is to define .

what it is not! An article was
shared giving a 10 point prescrip-
tion for UNHAPPINESS. (I don't
know the source, sorry)

1. MAKE little things bother
you.
2. LOSE your PERSPEC-
TIVE on things & make sure you
don’t put first things first

3. Get yourself something to

WORRY about and make sure
it’s something you can’t do any-
thing about.

4. Be a PERFECTIONIST and
condemn yourself ( and others)

5. Be — RIGHT/always
RIGHT/perfectly RIGHT all of
the time. Be the only one who is
RIGHT all of, the time and make

Treasures
that rust

ON THE ROCK MINISTRIES _
For The Sun

As a friend and I walked
through the rows and rows of
derelict cars at our favorite auto
wreckers he commented how it is
hard to believe, but all these old
wrecks were once someone's
pride and joy, which they spent a
great deal of their life working to
generate the money to pay for
them. It reminded him of the
Scripture “Do not store up for
yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and rust destroy.”
(Matt. 6:19)

Next week: How to store up
your treasures in heaven

RIGHT all of the time and make
sure you are RIGID about your
RIGHTNESS

6. Don't TRUST or believe
people, Accept then and of course
make = sure
you are sus-
picious.

7. Always
compare
yourself
unfavourable
to others,
This will
guarantee
instant
musery.

8. Take personally with a
HUGE CHIP on your shoulder
everything that happens to you
that you don’t like

9. Don't give yourself whole-
heartedly or enthusiastically to
anything or anyone

10. Make personal pleasure the
AIM of your life and lay aside
the needs of others.

My question to you is “If the
pursuit of happiness is one of
our fundamental desires, then
why do we spend so much time
pursuing unhappiness?” See you
next week.

Dear Ann Landers:
feel compelled to
spond to “A
ystander in Wiscon-
n,” whose mother’s
arital problems
came her business
lecause she was the
Idest child, I, too,
frew up in a household
here my _ parents
Dught constantly. They
pved each other very
much, but they could
ot live together.
You were right to tell
Bystander” that her
arents need profes-
ional help. They
Mmight also benefit from
seeparating for a while.
Dur parents did this
nd finally divorced,
Mut the time apart
mallowed them to work
Mhings out, and they
ventually remarried.
As for us_ kids,
divorce was a piece of
cake compared to the
daily fighting. It is

Wvery difficult for chil-
‘dren to get up and go
®to school with clear

heads when there is so
much turmoil at home.
Picking up the pieces
of your family after

} each fight is not easy.

Now, several years
later, we are all close
to one another, we
lead productive lives,
and we're relatively
well-adjusted.

Being the oldest,
like “Bystander,” I

certainly remember the

pain. It never really
goes away. Tell her to
hang in there. The
future is almost cer-

S tain to be better than

the past. — Remem-
bering in Utah

Dear Utah: I hope
parents who fight in
front of their chil-
dren will read this
with interest and vow

HB to do better.
