Good Advice to Help You Live Happily

　　It is Okay to Make Mistakes

　　Making mistakes is something we all do, and I am still a fine and worthwhile person when I make them. There is no reason for me to get upset when I make a mistake. I am trying, and if I make a mistake, I am going to continue trying. I can handle making a mistake. It is okay for others to make mistakes, too. I will accept mistakes in myself and also mistakes that others make.

　　Everybody Doesn't Have to Love Me

　　Not everybody has to love me or even like me. I don't necessarily like everybody, I know, so why should everybody else like me? I enjoy being liked and being loved, but if somebody doesn't like me, I will still be okay and still feel like I am an okay person. I cannot make somebody like me, anymore than somebody can get me to like them. I don't need approval all the time. If someone does not approve of me, I will still be okay.

　　I Don't Have to Control Things

　　I will survive if things are different than what I want them to be. I can accept things the way they are, accept people the way they are, and accept myself the way I am. There is no reason to get upset if I can't change things to fit my idea of how they ought to be. There is no reason why I should have to like everything. Even if I don't like it, I can live with it.

　　I am Responsible for My Day

　　I am responsible for how I feel and what I do. Nobody can make me feel anything. If I have a rotten day, I am the one who allows it to be that way. If I have a great day, I am the one who deserves credit for being positive. It is not the responsibility of other people to change so that I can feel better. I am the one who is in charge of my life.

　　I Can Handle It When Things Go Wrong

　　I don't need to watch out for things to go wrong. Things usually to just fine, and when they don't, I can handle it. I don't have to waste my energy worrying. The sky won't fall in ;things will be okay.

　　I am Capable

　　I don't need someone else to take care of my problems. I am capable. I can take care of myself. I can make decisions for myself. I can think for myself. I don't have to depend on somebody else to take care of me.

　　I Can be Flexible

　　There is more than one way to do something. More than one person has had good ideas that will work. There is no one and only "best" way. Everybody has ideas that are worthwhile. Some may make more sense to me than others, but everyone's ideas are worthwhile, and everyone has something worthwhile to contribute.

　　幸福生活的建议

　　犯错没关系

　　每个人都会犯错。即使犯了错，我仍然是一个优秀的有价值的人。犯错后，没必要惴惴不安。我一直都在努力，即使犯了错，我还是会继续努力。我能正确对待犯错，别人犯错也没什么大不了的。既然我会接受自己犯错，也就会接受别人犯错。

　　并非人人都得爱我

　　不是每个人都得爱我，或者喜欢我。我不喜欢我认识的每一个人，那么为什么其他人都应该喜欢我呢？我很乐意被人喜欢或被人爱，但如果有人不喜欢我，我仍然会活得很好，也觉得自己很好。我不能强求别人喜欢我，正如别人也不能强求我喜欢他。我不需要总是被认可。如果别人不认同我，我仍然会活得很好。

　　不必事必躬亲

　　如果事情与我所想象的不同，我也照样生活。我会接受事情本来的样子，接受人们本来的面貌，也接受真实的自我。如果我不能让事情成为我想要的样子，也没必要不安。我没有理由要喜欢一切事物。即使我不喜欢它，仍能与之共存。

　　对自己的每一天负责

　　我对自己的感觉和自己所做的事负责。没有人能影响我的感觉。如果我浑浑噩噩地过了一天，是对我自己地放任；如果我某天过得很充实，是自己态度积极，应受嘉奖。其他人没有义务做出改变来让我感觉更好，我才是掌握自己命运地人。

　　出了问题我能处理

　　我不需要时刻担心事情会出错。事情一般都会顺利进行，就是不能顺利进行时，我也能处理好。我不需要把时间浪费在不必要地焦虑上。天不会塌下来，一切都会好的。

　　我能行

　　我不需要别人来帮忙处理问题，我能行。我能照顾好自己，能自己做出决定，能独立思考。我不需要别人来照顾我。

　　我能随机应变

　　一件事的做法不止一种，不止一个人有行得通的好办法，也没有哪一种方法是万全之策。每个人都有好主意。有些可能对我更有帮助，但是每个人的观点都有可取之处，每个人都可以想出一些好办法。
