Happy people are likeable
Who are the people we really like, and like to be with? Most of the time, they are happy people, people who like themselves and others.
Being happy is almost the entire secret of being likeable. Though no person can expect to be liked by everybody, the likeable people have the inside track most of the time.
How do we become happy and thus likeable? We're continuously told that happiness cannot be found in property, power, and prestige. It is rooted instead in self-acceptance, in feeling loved and wanted, and in giving genuine service, maybe just in the form of very useful work.
Taking time to reflect each day on my personal level of happiness will lead me closer to God. If I call on God frequently and ask for His aid and guidance I will be able to face my own weaknesses and grow through them. Only by asking God to help me will I discover areas of my life that need addressing and will trust that God will place others in my life to help me in growing.
I can be happy today in spite of things that others would consider burdensome and depressing. Happiness really comes from God, and it also serves to attract friends into my life.
