Of course you do! you want to be happy.
You will not be normal if you don’t want to
be happy. We all want it. We are each driven
by our desire to be happy
.
Happiness is something everyone wants to achieve.
While on the surface people may seem to be looking
for money, recognition, or other things, what they
actually seek is happiness. Unfortunately, many
people never reach the level of happiness they
desire.
Happiness does not heal, but happiness protects against falling ill. As a result, happy people live longer. The size of the effect on longevity is comparable to that of smoking or not.
We want to look better, s
o we will feel better
about ourselves thinking that will m
ake us happy
.
We want to be entertained. W
e want a laugh.
We want to be happy
!
Sometimes we are so accustomed to people around us that we forget to thank to them. So
take a little time to do that.
Giving is an essential key to happiness. While we often think that we will be happier when we receive, the truth is we are happier when we give. This is also one of the most
difficult things to apply.You can apply this by finding someone in need and
lending a helping hand. The person could be your family, friend, or even a stranger. You could also donate to a
charity.
Comparing yourself with others won’t do you any good. You will either feel proud when you are above, or feel jealous and frustrated when you are below. None of them brings true
happiness. So stop comparing yourself with others and simply be your best.
This is one of the most effective ways to calm your mind and get inner happiness. When you feel overwhelmed, a session of
praying or meditation could help you clear your mind.
You will be happier if you understand who you are. Taking personality tests or drawing a simple life map could help you
recognize who you are.
Smiling is a very simple thing to do, and yet it has great effect. There mere act of smiling can brighten your
otherwise dark day.
Besides forgiving yourself, you should also forgive other people who did wrong to you. Not forgiving them will only hurt you. Again, you should release the burden so that you can find
happiness.
Have you done mistakes in the past? We could be intimidated by our past mistakes that we can no longer live to our full potential. But you aren’t perfect, and neither is anyone
else. So forgive yourself and release the burden
