19 things happy people never do

1. Compare their lives to the lives of those around them.
          Happy people know that comparison is the thief of joy
2. Spend all their time on social media.
3. Bully others
4. Avoid their emotions
5. Focus on what they don't have
6. Blame others
          For the most part, happy people view their life as their own responsibility
7. or try to convince other to change
          happy people know that they can't control other people's behaviors and don't expect              other to change to suit their liking.
8. or live their life to please others
          they respect other people's opinion but they don't derive their value and worthiness                on the basis of what people think of them.
9. Forget how to live in the moment
          happy people live in the present moment, finding things to enjoy in the now, rather                than obsessing over things that happened in the past or fixating on their hopes and     
          fears for the future
10. or try to control the future
11. Make assumptions
12. Feel sorry for themselves
13. Hold grudges
14. Dwell on failures
15. Surround themselves with unpleasant people
16. Neglect to address things that bother them
17. Keep score with their friends and partner
         in a great relationship, whether romantic or platonic, there are no 50-50 splits of  
         responsibility. Happy people accept the reality in that.
18. Let work take over their life
19. Resist change

Sometimes I don't think I'm a happy person and sometimes I think I'm pretty happy. There are a few things on this list that I should let go of but for the most part, most of this list is true of me. Yay!
