E.J. Dionne Jr. writes in The Washington Post: "Both the leaders and rank-and-file of the Republican Party devoutly believe 'the people' gave them a mandate last November to slash government, including that big-government health-care program known as Medicare. . . . Then came Tuesday's thunder out of western New York. Democrat Kathy Hochul won her surprisingly comfortable special-election victory in the very Republican 26th Congressional District, largely because of the early endorsement her Republican opponent, Jane Corwin, gave to Ryan's budget and its Medicare proposals."
Read More...Anna Holmes writes for The Washington Post about Donald Trump's extensive history of sexism: "[His] ideas about women have explicitly political implications as well, echoing the ideology at the core of the antiabortion movement's recently heightened assault on women's reproductive rights . . . The message is clear: Women can't be trusted to define, or control, their own bodies, so it's up to men to do it for them."
Read More...John Aloysius Farrell reports for The Center for Public Integrity (via Reader Supported News): "Charles and David Koch, the owners of the country's second-largest private corporation, are libertarians of long standing, who contend that government regulations, taxes and subsidies stifle individual initiative and hamper American competitiveness. In recent years, the Kochs have played an increasingly public role as financial angels for conservative causes, politicians and foundations."
Read More...Ruth Marcus writes in The Washington Post: "Absent the phenomenon of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton would have been president — and the arc of gender politics would have taken on a far rosier hue. In 1984, when Ferraro was tapped to be the vice presidential nominee, there were only 24 women in Congress, including two senators. Today, there are 88, including 17 senators (the most senators ever)."
Read More...Douglas Martin writes for The New York Times: "As Mr. Mondale's surprise choice, Ms. Ferraro rocketed to national prominence, propelled by fervid feminist support, a spirited and sometimes saucy personality, canny political skills and the calculation by Democratic strategists that Reagan might be vulnerable on issues thought to be more important to women."
Read More...Brent Budowsky writes for The Hill: "The ideological assault against programs that benefit women in House GOP spending bills and similar attacks from many GOP governors will give a powerful boost to Democrats in 2012. Today a diversity of women's groups are contacting me, and their members and supporters, expressing alarm about these assaults. The major media has largely ignored these concerns, but they are widespread, dramatic and mobilizing women."
Read More...Boston Phoenix's David Bernstein interviewed NOW President Terry O'Neill about why women are fighting back against the GOP's assault on women: "Republicans trying to gut four decades of women's progress have met with very little resistance — but that's changing"
Read More...Market Watch's Ruth Mantell interviewed NOW President Terry O'Neill about the recent White House report on women: "Women have enjoyed substantial gains in employment and education in the last few decades, but there's still room for progress, according to a wide-ranging White House report on women released Tuesday, the first day of women's history month."
Read More...Former NOW President Patricia Ireland writes on The Huffington Post: "My family on both sides hails from Chicago, and my Grandpa Shay followed the city's politics with great enthusiasm. His prediction that a Black mayor would succeed Richard J. Daley was off by eight years. The first Mayor Daley died in office in 1976, and Harold Washington didn't become mayor until 1983. In the interim Chicago had its first female mayor, Jane Byrne. Carol Moseley Braun's campaign for Chicago's mayor this year brought all of this back to my mind along with more recent memories."
Read More...Chicago Now blogs about the possibility of Carol Moseley Braun becoming the next mayor of Chicago: "But what has not been talked about by mainstream media or political pundits is that Braun's election would not only make Black history, but female political history in that Braun would be the first female to be elected Mayor since Jane Byrne."
Read More...Paul Krugman writes in The New York Times: "When you heard the terrible news from Arizona, were you completely surprised? Or were you, at some level, expecting something like this atrocity to happen?"
Read More...Jodi Jacobson writes on RH Reality Check: "Last March, following passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act, a rock was thrown through the window of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' (D-AZ) office in Tuscon, Arizona. The gas line was cut at the home of Rep. Tom Perriello's (D-Va.) brother . . . These tactics are no different from--indeed they are taken straight from the playbook of--the violent anti-choice movement in this country..."
Read More...Huffington Post writer Elise Foley reports on why NOW and other women leaders are calling for action on women's rights measure: "Leaders of the key women's-rights groups joined congressional Democrats at the Capitol Thursday to warn that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had issued "a wake-up call" when he said the U.S. Constitution does not protect women from discrimination on the basis of gender."

Gwinnett Daily Post
LILBURN - After a quarter in Friday's Class AAAAA boys basketball tournament opener, Wesley Witherspoon's stat line was rough.
It was full of zeros - 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists and 0-for-2 shooting. Fortunately, the highly touted senior made up for it in a big way over the final three quarters. Witherspoon had 32 points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots as host Berkmar held off pesky Sprayberry 74-66 in the Patriots' first state-tournament appearance since 2005. Witherspoon also eclisped the 1,000-career scoring mark as Berkmar moves on to host a second-round game on Tuesday at 7 p.m. against South Forsyth. "It's a great feeling to get (Berkmar) back in the state tournament and win," Witherspoon said after putting on a show for good friend and Wesleyan star Howard Thompkins, who took in the game from the first row. "We've got to keep it going now. We're happy but we're not satisfied." Witherspoon's slow start was a small part of his team's rough beginning. Berkmar (22-5) had eight first-quarter turnovers and made just 3 of 8 shots. But the Patriots opened up a 28-24 halftime lead by pounding the ball inside to the 6-foot-8 Witherspoon, a major matchup problem for a Sprayberry team short on height. "We dropped in there and (Witherspoon) gave us some energy and some easy baskets," Berkmar boys coach Tommy McWhorter said. The big second quarter sparked Witherspoon, who is still undecided on a college and is traveling to No. 1 Memphis today for its game with No. 2 Tennessee, to a huge night. He finished 12 of 17 from the floor, including 10 of 11 from 2-point range. "Our impatience early kind of took (Witherspoon) out of the game and made him nonexistent," McWhorter said. Witherspoon continued to deliver in the third quarter with 10 points, and so did teammate De'Marion Gordon, who scored seven of his 19 points in the third quarter. Gordon also led Berkmar with four assists and added six rebounds, while Stavantae Rucker finished with 10 points. The Patriots led 51-41 after three quarters and led by double figures most of the fourth quarter, although Sprayberry (12-16) kept rallying. But the Yellow Jackets never got closer than seven points in the final period. Sprayberry was led by William Marsh (14 points), Colin Slotter (12 points), Omari Murray (12 points) and Preston Brooks (10 points). The visitors had a 25-for-51 shooting night (49.0 percent) as Berkmar didn't have a great defensive performance. "I thought we played sluggish," McWhorter said. "There was no energy tonight. We tried to outscore those guys. There was no defense. I won't say it was the worst (defensive game we've played), but it was one of them."More like this story

A pedometer for kids turns a little sweat into prizes
LAS VEGAS--There are pedometers all over this year's CES (a few of them being tested simultaneously on my own hip), and while there's nothing particularly special about the $25 GeoPalz pedometer for kids in terms of the pedometer itself, its reward system has a few tricks up its, er, shoe clip.
The family-owned business, out of Boulder, Colo., has been working on the motivate-kids-to-move gag since 2008, and features a step counter that converts into online points for prizes such as books, CDs, and sports equipment.
This week, GeoPalz is taking the motivation game a step further by … Read more

- Quality based content farms aren't a new concept either.
- The extension won't kill the content farm, but with a little help from users (like you!) it should help push them down so more relevant cream can rise to the top.

olour, vibrancy, noise- this is what strikes you when you travel in India.
In the countryside, there are brilliant flashes of pink, red, gold in fields where women in saris till the land, pick potatoes, make bricks by hand and carry huge loads on their heads; animated chatting and selling of wares from lock-ups and stalls in little towns; the persistent honking of horns as cars, idiosyncratically decorated trucks, motorbikes and rickshaws force their way though small lanes crowded with people. There are cows wandering at will, foraging hogs, dogs, the odd camel or bullock cart and cyclists weaving through unconcernedly.
Coming from the grey winter skies of Britain this is decidedly exotic. On your way to a street market in rural Rajasthan, for instance, to buy homegrown cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, turmeric, you may see a jackal slinking into a field of mustard, hear the shrieking of a peacock displaying his tail to a harem of peahens and will certainly be engaged in conversation by locals. You might be surprised, as I was, to see a shop sign reading "English Wine Store" over a small, dilapidated shack.
This turns out to have nothing to do with wine, English or otherwise. It's a liquor store – hard stuff distilled locally from sugar cane, or cheap brands of whisky and other spirits. Few ordinary people here knew that wine was made from grapes, or that it was not distilled or fortified.
Vines have been planted in some parts of the country, and the wine is widely available in hotel restaurants, but for many Indians wine is a term which simply means alcohol.
Wine importers obviously have an educational job to do. But in big cities things are different. At dinners and tastings in Mombai and Delhi there were knowledgeable collectors, mainly senior people in industry who had been buying big name clarets and burgundies to share with friends. Nihal Kaviratne, CBE, now retired after a distinguished career with Unilever, is the founder of the Bombay branch of the International Wine & Food Society, and is a Chevalier of Burgundy's Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin. He has been laying down great Bordeaux for years. Another connoisseur, Rajiv Kehr, the host of a spectacular dinner in Delhi, explained his love of wine: "It is much more than a drink, in fact it's a journey encompassing all of one's senses."
Top international hotels are making it their business to stage dinners with European menus to showcase their chef's skills. Typically they feature glamorous ingredients like caviar, foie gras, lobster, duck and venison, matched with fine wines. But what about serving these wines at home, with Indian dishes? Nihal Kaviratne's wife, Shyama, told me that she has been working on a subtle spicing of crab to pair with her husband's Meursaults, and others had suggestions of great matches, meat curries from different regions with Rhone wines with plenty of body, and more surprisingly, older Burgundies which have developed spicy flavours.
Both collectors and hotels are up against two problems. Firstly, wine is taxed highly although this does vary from state to state. Secondly, as Yannick Poupon, Chief Operating Officer of the Taj hotel group told me, you can ship fine wines from abroad but you can't know how long they may sit on a hot dockside before delivery. Wine is often in a disappointing condition - not a good way to introduce people to an expensive luxury.
Sanjay Menon is one of the movers and shakers of the Indian wine world. Small and dynamic, he fizzes with enthusiasm; He has built up a family business that originally sold liquor, into one which imports and distributes foreign wines; with his own bonded warehouse he ensures they arrive on the table in prime condition. He shares his passion and impressive knowledge by regularly organizing wine events which have a reputation for being entertaining as well as a way of learning.
Sommelier India is India's only homegrown wine magazine. It is widely distributed in India and the Indian Diaspora around the world via print and digital. "Our typical reader is the bon vivant consumer with disposable income, but we are also read by the wine and hospitality trade, and count individual students and educational institutions among our subscribers" says its publisher, Reva Singh. "Wine consumption is increasing at all levels but not at the same pace. The high cost of wine, poor retail distribution and no wine drinking tradition and awareness of wine as a beverage distinct from hard liquor are some of the reasons."
One young woman attending a Masterclass in Mumbai on the wines of the Cote d'Or said she had always found the subject of wine intimidating – she had come to learn how to approach it. Another said that young aspirational couples see wine as a lifestyle thing, involving buying the right glasses and china.
Priyanka Dhar doesn't seem to be daunted by these challenges. After doing a B.Tech in Food Engineering and Technology in Mumbai, she headed to UC Davis to do a Masters in Viticulture and Enology. Internships at Gallo, the Hospices de Beaune, Louis Royer in Cognac followed.
" The most daunting experience was when I entered the winery in Beaune and realized what a barrier not speaking French was to communicating with the staff – luckily, playing charades as a child helped! I learnt that mutual passion and a desire to exchange information is more important. When you sit exhausted after a hard working day during harvest, you don't really need words. I have met so many accomplished people and had conversations I will always cherish. Experiences such as tasting with Michel Troigros (three Michelin stars chef), tasting a 1945 La Tache at DRC, interacting with Jean Francois from barrel makers Francois Freres, tasting with the winemaker at Clos des Lambrays, visiting Ch. Margaux and exploring Bordeaux, touring round the distilleries in Cognac, have all been incredible".
New Zealand is her next destination. She is just finishing her thesis and is already writing for Sommelier. She says her ambition is to make good wine that is affordable - " The kind of bottle that is a comfort after a hard day but also special enough to be shared for an occasion."
I can't help feeling Priyanka will be very much part of the Indian wine scene in the future. Her energy and enthusiasm is just what is needed to get other young people into wine.
On a visit to the historic Agra fort, off a large open courtyard you can see one of the rooms designed for the Maharana's relaxation and pleasure. It is open to the cooling breezes, and decorated with intricate inlay patterns using semi-precious stones. Conveniently placed by the low seats are elegantly engraved glass wine carafes and delicate glasses. So India isn't such a new market for wine, after all. But now it is not just for the elite, and young professionals are finding that wine can be fun.

Well, if you don't mind your bottle not having an outer seal then this product maybe for you. I ordered this product and there was no outer or inner seal so I had to send it back. I prefer products to be sealed one way or another. Aside from that I'm sure the contents are fine provided there is no contamination since the product was not sealed.

Scholarship Program
Application deadline for LAESF Scholarships was January 21, 2014. Awards to be announced in April.
In 1998, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and its employees, retirees, and contractors partnered with the LANL Foundation to create the Los Alamos Employees' Scholarship Fund (LAESF). The Fund's goal is to provide scholarships that support the students of Northern New Mexico who are pursuing 4-year undergraduate degrees in fields that will serve the region. Awards are based on academic performance, leadership potential, critical thinking skills, and career goals. Financial need, diversity, and regional representation are integral components of the selections process.
To keep up with the growing need for qualified accountants, financial analysts, and business information system professionals within our Tribal communities, we proudly announce the Northern New Mexico Tribal Business Scholarship. This year, one giving option during the LAESF campaign is to designate your gift to the Northern New Mexico Tribal Business Scholarship Fund.
In 2011 LAESF introduced the Regional College/Returning Student Scholarship Fund. This fund awards scholarships to motivated students returning to a formal education, after a hiatus for other pursuits. These scholarship candidates may have left formal education for business, the military, or other reasons, possibly for an extended period, and are now seeking to expand their opportunities with a certificate or a two-year degree through a program in the regional area.
Since 1998, nearly 800 Northern New Mexico students have been awarded o$3 million in scholarships—funds contributed by LANL employees, retirees, and contractors, as well as the business partners of our Northern New Mexico community. In 2013, 73 students were awarded scholarships totaling $411,500. Click to view the 2013 scholarship recipients.
Annual Campaign The LANL Foundation celebrated the 2013 annual fundraising drive with a record number of dollars contributed! We'd like to thank each of the 601 LANL employees who contributed over $313,000 to LAESF last year. We'd especially like to once again thank Los Alamos National Security, LLC (LANS) who once again generously agreed to match all contributions made by LANS employees, up to $250,000. With the LANS match, and contributions from a few non-LANL employees, LAESF successfully exceeded its goal last year by raising a whopping $525,000. What to go everyone!
The 2014 LAESF fundraising campaign will begin May 1, 2014 and continue throughout the entire month. Click here to make a donation.
Ways to Give For a description of the various funds, click here. · General donations may be made using our secure online pledge form or by mailing a check with the general PDF form to the LANL Foundation, Attn: Scholarship Program Officer, 1112 Plaza del Norte, Espanola, NM 87532. · LANL employees may only make pledges through the online Oracle payroll deduction system (no hard-copy forms) in order to receive the LANS match. · LANL Affiliates & Guest Scientists and Craft employees will be given separate hard-copy forms, which must be used in order to receive the LANS match.
Contact Tony Fox, Scholarship Program Officer, for more information: firstname.lastname@example.com or (505) 753-8890 ext. 16.
The LANL Foundation administers the scholarship fund and ensures that all donor contributions go directly to student awards. All donations are tax-deductible. The LANS match is subject to an 11% administrative fee.

West Virginia Division of Natural Resources officers have received a call of a black bear near the Ashton Place shopping center in South Hills.
A district wildlife biologist has driven out to the shopping center to see if he can locate the wandering bear, said Chris Ryan, a supervisor of game management services for the agency.
The bear was not making a nuisance of itself and had just been spotted by passersby, Ryan said. He was unsure exactly what time the sighting had occurred.
It is not unusual to see black bears in that portion of Charleston, Ryan said.
"I've caught black bears up behind Walmart before," he said.
He has also trapped black bears in the area of George Washington High School and John Adams Middle School.
Ryan said the DNR typically receives around 1,000 calls a year for black bear complaints and sightings.

Apr 18
Recently I was asked to contribute more to North American Fisherman's Club, website, and facebook page. I just wanted to take a few moments to introduce myself. Currently I'm a fulltime captain and host Big Fish 365. I guide fulltime for just about everything here in the Midwest such as smallies, brown trout, salmon, walleyes, muskies, steelhead, largies, catfish, and pan fish. I've also been fortunate enough to work with "North American Fisherman T.V." on a few shows.
A few things about me: I decided to guide fulltime 10+ years ago and it was the scariest decision I've ever made as an individual. I quit my job as a HR and environmental manger to try guiding fulltime. I got my captains license and started doing trips in the Milwaukee Harbor for brown trout and things really took off from there.
I've been fortunate to have opportunities to film some television shows with hall of fame anglers such as Babe Winkleman, Spence Petros and many other great anglers such as Steve Panez, Mark Zona, and Mike Iconilli these guys are all Icons to me.
As a fulltime guide I'm on the water 5+ days a week all year round, including ice fishing. Two goals I have when clients step onto my boat are; to make sure they have a fantastic time and hopefully catch the biggest fish of their life. What I love about my job most is that I get to teach people how to fish. I also get taught a thing or two from some of my clients. This sport is always changing and evolving and to be an exceptional angler one has to be a student of the game. I also love the challenge of finding fish, and finding different ways to catch fish.
I certainly could not guide fulltime without the support of my family. I have to give so much credit for my passion in fishing to my late father Wayne Haataja and late Grandfather Joseph Kolfler. They both have taught me so many things about the game of fishing. Most importantly I'm married to Natasha and father to Cal (10), Hanna(8), and Cammie (4).
On a side note we also as a family love hunting, I think one of the greatest outdoor memories I have is being with my kids while hunting.
May your lines be tight with big fish this 2012 season!

Astronomers spot leftover light from ancient stars
Light from the universe's very first stars still lingers in space. Now, astronomers have a new way to catch it: Distant, ultra-bright galaxies that act as cosmic beacons, capturing relict photons in a blaze of gamma rays.
But it's not just these earliest photons that are snared; photons from every star that ever shone can be captured. "We now have constraints on the total number of stars that ever formed," Volker Bromm, an astronomer at the University of Texas at Austin, says of the new way to see old light, described online November 1 in Science. "It provides us with a review of the entire history of cosmic star formation, including the very first epochs of star formation in the very early universe."
Studying these stellar fingerprints will help astronomers learn more about the universe's earliest years — and its first inhabitants, which are too far away to be seen directly. Now roughly 13.7 billion years old, the universe is thought to have switched on the first stars about 400 million years after the Big Bang.
"Detecting these stars is very important but currently impossible," says astrophysicist Marco Ajello of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at Stanford and a coauthor of the new study. "In this way, we are already able to set constraints on the amount and role of these stars in the early universe."
Normally, it's tricky to separate relict starlight from everything else that's shining in the universe. Dust, visible starlight, glowing material chucked out of supermassive black holes — it's all rattling around out there, muddying the signatures of primordial stars. "If we were located outside the Milky Way, then we could have measured the background light more easily," says Avi Loeb, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "We are embedded too deep inside the galaxy."
To circumvent this problem, Ajello and his colleagues used the orbiting Fermi Large Area Telescope to study distant blazars, a type of bright, active galaxy. Blazars are powered by supermassive black holes that shoot enormous jets of energy toward Earth. The jets include gamma rays, a high-energy form of radiation that can interact with photons from the early stars.
Photons colliding with a blazar's gamma rays are converted into electrons and their antimatter particles, called positrons. The transition produces a dimming effect that the Fermi telescope can detect, and the amount of dimming corresponds to amount of photons between Earth and the blazar.
Since blazars are distributed across the universe, astronomers can use them to measure the photon fog at different ages, and calculate the contributions from early stars.
Ajello and his colleagues used 150 blazars to parse these early photons from the rest of the cosmic melee. So far, they've managed to peer at the shimmering universe as it appeared when it was just 4 billion years old, and the team plans to follow up with blazars at greater distances and earlier ages.
The measured amount of photons "limits the amount of light produced by earlier generations of stars and black holes," Loeb says. "An early population of very massive stars is only allowed to exist when the universe was less than 500 million years old."
These results suggest that early stars may have formed a bit more slowly than previously thought, Ajello says. Unlike today's stars, which incorporate many heavier chemical elements, the first stars were primarily made of hydrogen — and they lived fast and died hard, Ajello says. "The first stars were in general more massive — up to hundreds of times as massive as the sun — hotter, brighter, and more short-lived."

In The Heart of Grand Marais
North House Folk School
While the harbor is the natural hub of Grand Marais, North House Folk School is the community hub. You can tell just by walking by. There's an energy rolling off the campus. People are gathered around the wood-fired oven anticipating their breads and pizzas, across the way a group cooperatively lifts a beam on a timber frame building and you're not even sure what craft is being learned and taught in the Red Building and the Blue Building.
Area Activities
Artist Point
There's a little patch of green relief breaking the horizon line where the endless blue sky meets the illusionary infinity of the big lake. It is Artist Point, a little connected island that allows you to be out on the lake without ever entering the water. From the door of your suite to the center of the island is less than a half mile. Actually it's not an island, but a tombolo, an island connected to shore via a gravel bar. Learn More
Charter Fishing
Grand Marais has water - Lake Superior, dozens of inland lakes, rivers emptying into the big lake and rivers emptying into inland lakes. And in that water are fish. With all the different types of waterways, conditions and habitats, figuring out fishing can be tricky. Fishing with a charter fisherman or guide greatly enhances your chance of catching fish. Learn More
The Harbor
People have been gathering around this particular piece of shoreline as long as people have been on the shore. Back in 1658, French explorer Sieur de Radisson, the first European explorer that made it this far north, came across a flourishing Ojibwe fishing camp. John Jacob Astor's fur traders set up shop in the 1820s, adding a fish station the next decade. In 1871 this area, referred to as "double bay" by the Ojibwe, was established as the Village of Grand Marais. Learn More
The Hjørdis & Scenic Airplane Rides
An easy way to do this is aboard the 50-foot schooner, the Hjørdis, sailing out of North House Folk School on the harbor. Schooner outings are offered daily and include an overview about sailing, a tour of the harbor, and weather permitting, a sail into the big lake. Learn More

How to Be Happy: 5 Steps to Living a Life You Love
So you want to learn how to be happy, but have no idea where to start. The good thing is, you can learn how to be happy and be more fulfilled in everything you do. You must first keep in mind that happiness in life is like a smorgasbord. If 100 people went to a smorgasbord and each put food on their plate in the quantity and mix that each felt would be most pleasing to him, every plate would be different. Even a husband and wife would go up to the smorgasbord and come back with plates that looked completely different.
Happiness is the same way. Each person requires a particular combination of those ingredients to feel the very best about himself or herself. Here are five ways to achieve your own happiness because you deserve it!
Listen to Your Heart
The ingredients in your happiness plate are changing continually. If you went to the same smorgasbord every day for a year, you probably would come back with a different plateful of food each time. Each day-sometimes each hour-only you can tell what it takes to make you happy. But to condition yourself to learn how to be happy, you must get in touch with your feelings and listen to your heart. This is the only way to judge whether a job, a relationship, an investment, or any decision, is right for you.
Be True to Yourself
You're true to yourself only when you follow your inner light, when you listen to what Ralph Waldo Emerson called the "still, small voice within." You're being the very best person you can be only when you have the courage and the fortitude to allow your definition of happiness, whatever it may be, to be the guiding light of every part of your life.
You Deserve It
A very important point on the subject of happiness is whether or not you feel that you "deserve" to be happy. If you don't feel like you deserve it, you must learn how to be happy by accepting the notion that you deserve it all.
FREE REPORT: Step-by-step guide on Goal Setting, a $20 value.
You deserve all the happiness you can honestly attain through the application of your talents and abilities. The more you like and respect yourself, the more deserving you will feel of the good things in life. And the more deserving you feel, the more likely you will attain and hold on to the happiness you are working toward.
Do Things That Make You Happy
It sounds simple, but not everyone takes the time to evaluate what makes them happy. You should do things that make you happy and consider happiness the organizing principle of your life. Compare every possible action and decision you make against your standard of happiness to see whether that action would make you happier or unhappier. Soon, you will discover that almost all of the problems in your life come from choices that you have made – or are currently making – that do not contribute to your happiness.
Pay the Price
Of course, there are countless times when you will have to do little things that don't make you happy along the way toward those larger things that make you very happy indeed. We call this paying the price of success in advance. You must pay your dues. Sometimes these interim steps don't make you happy directly, but the happiness you achieve from attaining your goal will be so great that it totally overwhelms the temporary inconveniences and dissatisfactions you have to endure in order to get there.
Remember, achieving your own happiness is the best measure of how well you are living your life and enjoying your relationships. So in order to learn how to be happy, be willing to work hard and pay the price for the satisfaction and rewards you desire.
Always go the extra mile and your success will be assured. When you decide to make your own happiness the chief organizing principle of your life and judge everything against that standard, you will be living the life of joy and happiness that you achieved through your own efforts.
I hope you enjoyed this post on how to be happy and live a joyful life because you deserve it! Please share this with your friends and family!
