5 Principles of Life You Should Use to be Happier

By

Over the years I’ve tried and tested a number of principles of life to grow myself, my mind, spirit and yes even my body.  And discovered the end result was greater happiness. Though sometimes I think my body would take the idea too literally and actually grew in places I’d rather it didn’t! So some revision was required for what I meant by growing my body 🙂 There’s nothing fancy about these principles, but they’re rock solid life principles that set the agenda for your life.

Or when you had to drag yourself out of bed this morning. Perhaps as you dozed off on your evening train commute home. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not suggesting you want to cry out, “Oh woe is me.
