The secret to a happy life is revealed by Anne Marie (19) from Adelaide: Although I am young I am also a truly happy person. My parents taught me to not live in the past, not to dwell on the future, but to live right in the NOW! Reminiscing too much will hold your thoughts in another time and place; projecting your thoughts too much into the future and making too many future plans may create anxiety and expectation; but living your life right as it is, right at this moment, with absolute sincerity and honesty to yourself and others will show you true happiness.

  1. Anne Marie also shared in her email that she has a terminal illness. She mentioned that if she did not live by the philosophy she aspires to that she would possibly fear the prospect of dying. She said that by enjoying each moment with her family and friends and not thinking about what she will be missing when she dies, that she is able to experience pure joy and absolute truth when she is with them. Anne Marie I am in awe and admiration of your happy spirit. God bless you!
