The next on my list is:
LOVE

Humans Crave Love: No marriage, family or friendship can thrive without it. I t stands to reason therefore, that love is essential to mental health and happiness. What though is meant by ''love''?
The love referred to here is not romantic love which of course has its place. Rather, it is a superior form of love that causes a person to show sincere concern for the welfare of others, even putting them before self. I t is the kind of love guided by godly principles but is by no means devoid of warmth and feeling.
A beautiful description of love says, Love is patient and kind, love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked, does not keep account of injury, does not rejoice over unrighteousness but rejoices with truth, it bears all things, hope all things, endures all things. Love never fails. Such love never fails, it will never ceased to exist and can grow stronger and stronger over time. And because love is patient, kind and forgiving, it is a perfect bond of union. Hence, relationships bound by such love are both secure and happy despite the imperfections of the individual.
Love helps to promote happiness because it:

• Helps us to show sincere concern for the welfare of others.
• Can grow stronger over time.
• Give strength and resilience to friendships and marriages.
• Help children to thrive and feel secure.
• Makes us more like our creator.

Remember love is patient and kind. It bears all things, endures all things and love never fails.

Love yourself, love others. Let it be expressed and let it be felt. Be happy..... Stay happy....
