Steps to be cheerful

  1. Be comfortable in your own skin. Take a really good look at yourself and make note of the good side of yourself.
  2. Help someone who is in need.
  3. Learn how to have good manners and be polite.
  4. Look on the bright side, but be honest.
  5. Listen to both sides of things and listen carefully.
  6. Keep an open mind.
  7. Be encouraging and don't put people down.
  8. Never judge too harshly. You never know if you'll be in that position someday and need a friend. Be a friend.
  9. Cheerfulness is often mistaken for being fake. Don't talk in little high voices and pretend to be perfect. You'll just end up annoying everybody.
  10. Be careful; with the opposite sex, sometimes kindness can be misconstrued as a come on. Make sure your intentions are clear, if unwanted.
  11. Don't consume too much alcohol too often. You may later regret something you may have done or said to someone. Keep a clear mind.
