How to be Miserable

“How to be Miserable” - Author Unknown

Think about yourself. Talk about yourself. Use “I” as often as possible. Mirror yourself continually in the opinion of others. Listen greedily to what people say about you. Expect to be appreciated. Be suspicious. Be jealous and envious. Be sensitive to slights. Never forgive a criticism. Trust nobody but yourself. Insist on consideration and respect. Demand agreement with your own views on everything. Sulk if people are not grateful to you for favors shown them. Never forget a service you have rendered. Shirk your duties if you can. Do as little as possible for others.

“How Not to be Miserable”

According to the Apostle Paul

Philippians 2:3 (ESV)
Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

According to the Jesus

Luke 9:23 (ESV)
And he (Jesus) said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”

John 13:12-17 (ESV)
When he (Jesus) had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, "Do you understand what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
