Something To Attract

Happiness isn’t something to be found; it’s something to attract.

-- Arthur C. Brooks, Aristotle’s 10 Rules for a Good Life

  1. Name your fears and face them.
  2. Know your appetites and control them.
  3. Be neither a cheapskate nor a spendthrift.
  4. Give as generously as you can.
  5. Focus more on the transcendent; disregard the trivial.
  6. True strength is a controlled temper.
  7. Never lie, especially to yourself.
  8. Stop struggling for your fair share.
  9. Forgive others, and forbear their weaknesses.
  10. Define your morality; live up to it, even in private.

Seems like more than one of these still applies....
