How
to be Happy and Stay Happy continues……
As
promised from the previous article, the following are some other things that
you can do to find happiness. All of us have gone through stressful and
sometimes unpleasant events in our lives. However, you must be able to learn
and grow from those experiences. This means that you must intentionally find
the good in ALL things. In the process, you are keeping your focal point to
being positive which can lead to a level of happiness. Another tip for
maintaining happiness is to not let the words of others negatively impact you. Remember
that old saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but your words will
never hurt me.” Of course, this is not always accurate. I do realize that sometimes
words can be very hurtful, but words should never change the way on how you
feel about yourself. Believe it or not, most people say harmful things because
they are hurting and instead of dealing with those painful feelings
in a productive manner they will take those hurt feelings out on others. Last,
but not least, be content with who you are. Too often we make comparisons of
our lives to others and oftentimes making ourselves feel depressed because we
don’t have those same things. Avoid such comparisons by being grateful to the
things that you already have. When you find contentment within your own life, it
doesn’t matter what the next person has because you are satisfied with what you
do have. On a final note, happiness is a choice. Therefore, you must put forth
the effort to find happiness and to maintain it.
