Be kind to yourself

Dr. Robert Holden, a "happiness" expert, was a guest this week on Oprah Winfrey's show.
He gave a happiness quiz (find it on Oprah.com). He said that if we look outside ourselves for everything to be right, it will never happen. "It's always about tomorrow, so you're chasing 'more,' 'next' and 'there.' You promise yourself that when you get there, you'll be happy..."
But he promises, you won't, because you'll always set another destination to go for.
Instead, he says, if you are unhappy with your life or looking to improve it, there are two things you can do.
First, "Let go of your past ... it's gone."
And, second, "Take a vow of kindness. Be kinder to yourself and to others." [Source]
