It\u2019s a new week and I would like to share something I read that could help make your week and the rest of your life blissful!<\/span><\/p>\n

Pope Francis shared his own guide to happiness. It is so inspiring.<\/span><\/p>\n

May we all attain happiness! These words will guide you:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. \u201cLive and let live.\u201d Which has a similar expression in Rome with the saying, \u201cMove forward and let others do the same.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

2. \u201cBe giving of yourself to others.\u201d People need to be open and generous toward others, he said, because \u201cif you withdraw into yourself, you run the risk of becoming egocentric. And stagnant water becomes putrid.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

3. \u201cProceed calmly\u201d in life.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Have a healthy sense of leisure. He said parents should set aside time to play with their children and turn of the TV when they sit down to eat.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. \u201cSundays is for family,\u201d he says. That means rest is essential to happiness.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Find innovative ways to create dignified jobs for young people. \u201cWe need to be creative with young people. If they have no opportunities they will get into drugs\u201d and be more vulnerable to suicide, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Respect and take care of nature. Environmental degradation \u201cis one of the biggest challenges we have,\u201d he said. \u201cI think a question that we\u2019re not asking ourselves is: \u2018Isn\u2019t humanity committing suicide with this indiscriminate and tyrannical use of nature?\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Stop being negative. \u201cNeeding to talk badly about others indicates low self-esteem. That means, \u2018I feel so low that instead of picking myself up I have to cut others down,\u2019\u201d the Pope said. \u201cLetting go of negative things quickly is healthy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Don\u2019t proselytise; respect others\u2019 beliefs. \u201cWe can inspire others through witness so that one grows together in communicating. But the worst thing of all is religious proselytism, which paralyses: \u2018I am talking with you in order to persuade you,\u2019 No. Each person dialogues, starting with his and her own identity. The church grows by attraction, not proselytising,\u201d the Pope said.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Work for peace. \u201cWe are living in a time of many wars,\u201d he said, and \u201cthe call for peace must be shouted. Peace sometimes gives the impression of being quiet, but it is never quiet, peace is always proactive\u201d and dynamic.<\/span><\/p>\n
