Someone wrote to me recently about something I wrote in Perfectly Yourself. As I took the book from my bookshelf to look up what she was referring to I was flooded with memories of the time in my life when I write the book. My father had died a few months earlier and I was trying to make sense in new ways, as we all do when we lose someone we love.

That was twenty years ago. The subtitle of the book is Nine Lessons of Enduring Happiness. As it caught my eye, I wondered… have they endured… I will let you decide…

The Nine Lessons of Enduring Happiness:

The First Lesson for Enduring Happiness: CELEBRATE YOUR PROGRESS

The Second Lesson for Enduring Happiness: JUST DO THE NEXT RIGHT THING

The Third Lesson for Enduring Happiness: PUT CHARACTER FIRST

The Fourth Lesson for Enduring Happiness: FIND WHAT YOU LOVE AND DO IT

The Fifth Lesson for Enduring Happiness: LIVE WHAT YOU BELIEVE

The Sixth Lesson for Enduring Happiness: BE DISCIPLINED

The Seventh Lesson for Enduring Happiness: SIMPLIFY

The Eighth Lesson for Enduring Happiness: FOCUS ON WHAT YOU ARE HERE TO GIVE

The Ninth Lesson for Enduring Happiness: PATIENTLY SEEK THE GOOD IN
