God wants to laugh with you more often.
How do I know?
Ive got two sons I love passionately,
Benedict and Francis.
I love it especially when we laugh together.
And like any father,
I desire that they live happy lives of love and abundance.
God is a Father, too.
Hey, He likes to laugh with you!
And like any Father, He also desires
that you live a happy life of love and abundance.
I dedicate this book to Benedict and Francis,who give me boundless happiness every day.
And I dedicate this book to you, my dearest friend.
I love you and I pray for your great happiness.

the enemy of hppiness isn sdness.

or brins, he brin sem (so ced he repiin brin,
becse repies hve hese for brins) nd he mygd re

Why? Or ncesors needed fer for heir physic

Once heir brins regiser fer, he endocrine gnds
prodce fer hormones ced drenine nd coriso. I
gave them super strength for ght or ight. And in ghting
or eeing, they exhaust the adrenaline and cortisol in their
bodies. We nd good. B wh bo s who sy si

We si hve he sme fer mechnism.
B his ime, were no onger frid of ions or cobrs

In my ife, Ive discovered h here is ony one hingh cn overcome fer.
there is ony one hing h is more powerf hn
fer.
the ony nidoe o fer is love.
When you ll your life with love, your fears naturally
dispper.
Im king bo ove for God, ove for ohers,
ove for yorsef, nd ove for ife isef. the Bibe sys,
Perfec ove css o fer.4
In fc, remember he Seven Secres of Hppiness I

Every singe one of hem is rey fce of ove. andeach tool can drive away a specic fear in your life.
Once your fears are gone, happiness will ood your soul.
hppiss Is By-Prdut,nt t Prdut
So let me share with you my rst important discovery:
these exremey hppy peope didn become hppy
becse hey serched for hppiness. they never ook on
ife projec enied, My go in ife is o be hppy!
Insed, happiness was a by-product of their search for
something else.
and wh is h somehing ese?
a he end of he dy, is ove in whever

The Businessman andthe Fisherman Whos
Happier?
One day a sherman was lying on a beautiful beach with his
shing pole propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast out
into the sparkling blue surf.
He was enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun and the
prospect of catching a sh.
About that time, a businessman came walking down the
beach trying to relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed
the sherman sitting on the beach and decided to nd out why this
sherman was shing instead of working harder to make a living
for himself and his family.
You arent going to catch many sh that way, said the
businessman to the sherman, you should be working rather
than lying on the beach!
The sherman looked up at the businessman, smiled and
replied, And what will my reward be?
Well, you can get bigger nets and catch more sh! was the
businessmans answer.
And then what will my reward be? asked the sherman,
still smiling.
The businessman replied, You will make money and youll
be able to buy a boat which will then result in larger catches of
sh!

And then what will my reward be? asked the sherman
again.
The businessman was beginning to get a little irritated with
the shermans questions.
You can buy a bigger boat and hire some people to work for
you! he said.
And then what will my reward be? repeated the
sherman.
The businessman was getting angry. Dont you
understand? You can build up a eet of shing boats, sail allover the world and let all your employees catch sh for you!
Once again the sherman asked, And then what will my
reward be?
The businessman was red with rage and shouted at the
sherman, Dont you understand that you can become so rich
that you will never have to work for your living again! You can
spend the rest of your days sitting on this beach looking at the
sunset. You wont have a care in the world!
The sherman, still smiling, simply looked up, nodded and
said: And what do you think I am doing now?
