Anticipation brings excitement; when you're excited about something, you're happy. It's not only special occasions and a full calendar that bring happiness. In fact, too often there's a let down that comes after an anxiously awaited event. You need to be living your best life every single day. That's why "1. Something to do" is essential. Get busy. Plan a life where your mind is constantly in motion and your heart pounds with anticipation.

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

Romans 12:11
