Sources of Happiness

David O. McKay was a great teacher and wrote exstensively about the secrets of happiness. I happen to love the man because he was good friends with my great-grandfather who lived next door to the McKay's in Huntsville, Utah. Since they both lived into their 90's, it was a long lasting friendship and I learned I could trust him because my great-grandfather did. However, now I trust him on so many other levels and enjoy his teachings. Here are 10 sources of happiness he wrote worth repeating:

1. A sense of being free. Free agency is the greatest gift to mankind.
2. A sense of self-mastery. He is a slave who will be led by his appetites.
3. The privilege of work. Idleness does not bring happiness. The right to work is a blessing to mankind.
4. The possession of health. Clean and wholesome bodies bring joy; debauch them, and we lose happiness.
5. The ability to see God’s beauty about us.
6. The harboring of upbuilding thoughts. What you think about when you do not have to think shows what you really are.
7. Being true to those who trust you.
8. Making friends. True friends enrich life. If you would have friends, be one.
9. Developing faith. Faith is the foundation of all things including happiness.
10. Doing your best this hour, and you will do better the next.

Hope these comments help. I included them in my book. Your comments here appreciated.
