Happiness begins when we choose to stop complaining.

"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. (Philippians 4:11 NIV)"

I hope we give our best everyday. We won't be disappointed in the result.

"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Luke 6:38 NIV)"

I hope life's troubles never prompt us to give up, but to give more.

"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. (2 Corinthians 9:6 NIV)"

I hope we take time to hear people with our hearts and show love by our actions.

1 John 3:18 (NIV) Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.

I hope we are always on the lookout to help. Somebody needs what we have to give.

"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.' (Matthew 25:40 NIV)"

I hope we never get too smart or too proud to be teachable.

"Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand. (Isaiah 64:8 NIV)"

Don't let life steal your swagger! "Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. (Hebrews 10:35 KJV)"
