Top 10 tips For Happiness Issued By Pope Francis

 Put off the television, calm down and stop forcing people to convert to your religion. These are some of the top ten pieces of advice given out by Pope Francis early last week, as one of the ways one can have a happy and fulfilled life. While speaking to“Viva” Argentine weekly, he drew on his personal experience to show off his own lifestyle with an anti-consumerist and a humble way. 

One of his highlights was for the families. They are encouraged to switch off television when they are sharing a meal because it is not easy to communicate with each other well, despite the importance of keeping up with news.

 

Pope Francis said it would be much happier when people stop pushing others around their ways of thinking, especially on the region. The Pope said the church grows only by attraction, not by proselytizing. He added that the dialogue is the best way to get through to anybody, beginning with his or her own identity.
