Monday Mindfulness ~ happiness

This list of fifteen things you should give up to be happy comes from World Observer Online.  Click the link to read more about each item.
1.  Give up your need to always be right.
2.  Give up your need for control.
3.  Give up on blame.
4.  Give up your self-defeating self-talk.
5.  Give up your limiting beliefs about what you can or cannot do, about what is possible or impossible.
6.  Give up complaining.
7.  Give up the luxury of criticism.
8.  Give up your need to impress others.
9.  Give up your resistance to change.
10.  Give up labels.
11.  Give up on your fears.
12.  Give up your excuses.
13.  Give up the past.
14.  Give up attachment.
15.  Give up living your life to other people’s expectations.
Right now, I need to give up complaining, my need to be right, and self-defeating self-talk.  And I must learn to stay away from people who leave me less happy and more depressed.  Can I do it?
