How to be Happy
and Stay Happy
It
is so easy to get caught up with the busyness of life until we forget to take
the time to enjoy it. As a result, it leads to not being happy. The question that must be ask, “Can you determine your
happiness?” The answer is a resounding YES!!! It is not as difficult as you
might think it to be. Happiness is that euphoric feeling of obtaining
self-worth either through accomplishment or being content in life. However,
happiness is something to which you must choose to have and not waiting for it
to choose you. This means having to make decisions and choosing attitudes and
behaviors that will have the outcome of being happy. You will need to take a
personal inventory of yourself and your surroundings to which you must truthfully approach all areas of your
life with honesty and examine each item and to see where it falls into the
category of happiness or unhappiness. There is an old saying, “You are the company
that you keep.” If you want to have positive friends then it must start with you
having a positive disposition. During the meantime, you want to surround yourself
around people who are also positive thinking then this will likely increase
your level of happiness. Another approach to being happy is having the
willingness to forgive others. Forgive or not to forgive is the question? Studies
have shown that when people harbor bitter feelings towards someone who have
hurt them then it has an impact on your happiness. You must find peace within
yourself to forgive others in order to achieve happiness.
