101 Ways to Be Really Happy: Step #38–Just Let Go

I’ve told this story many times in many settings, out loud and in writing.

A child once cried out repeatedly to God to fix a favorite broken toy. Finally, the child begged, “God, I’ve prayed so many times for you to fix this toy. Why have you not heard my prayers?”

Moral: If you want to be happy, you have to learn to let go.

Why haven’t you done it?
