Hi! All friends, I wonder so much why some people are happy? Why aren't some people very sad? If people can be happy all the time, then people would stay young forever and their health would good forever too. According to some books talking about how to be happy, many methods are mentioned, but I cannot follow it at all. It says that in order to be happy, you should not be angry with anyone even they do something to make you angry.Also, we should try to smile in order to make our self happy. I think some of this method don't work for me at all. So do you have some things to share with me about how to be happy?

Hi, the most important thing to be happy in life is to be satisfied with what you have and try to enjoy your present. This does not mean that don't think of future, but don't spoil your present by overthinking about future. To be satisfied with what you have does not mean that you should not have goals or targets in life but try to prioritize them, We need to have proper balance in life for everything to be happy. Bad times comes and goes,and good times will surely come. we may have our tensions in our life about carrier, money, family etc, but it is only ourselves who need to make balance in each and everything so that we can enjoy our present as well as plan for the future.

But what if currently we are not satisfied with what we have? We cannot control our mind?

Thats what I said, try to be satisfied with what you have, and also keep your goals or targets and work accordingly to achieve them, but maintain the balance and set the priorities. Like you are working overtime to earn extra money so fulfil your needs, and because of that you are not able to give proper time to your family, instead you can work overtime for some period and rest of the time can be given to your family. This is just an example.

It is very easy to be happy. Actually when you are simply smiling does not mean that you are already happy. The key to being a happy person is when you have done something good to somebody. It is like helping out an old person cross a street. There are so many ways to help other people such as giving donations to the poor. When you have done such thing, I bet that there is this feeling inside you which is called the real happiness.

Hm...We need to think nothing about what we don't like, but one thing involving in this problem is that we cannot control our self of getting rid of thinking about it.

I know what you mean. We are born of always wanting more,we never get satisfied of what we have. There might be a person who is contented of what he/she have but as what the saying says "Pursuit Of Happiness". We are always looking on what makes us happy. If we're always happy then we can't appreciate life.

Thanks for your idea. But I can say that no one is satisfied with what they have. If they have, it's just a short time!

Every morning, when you wake up and go to the toilet, look at the mirror and smile. Stay Healthy at all times. Do not worry about small little things. Exercise regulary like I do in the morning and at night. Always believe in everything that you do. Try to be patient at all times. Anymore else?

people dont reliese how lucky they are in life, happiness is simply waking up in the morn and being alive and having your health, I wake up and treat everyday as an adventure because that is what life is. Though some people don't seem to treat life as an adventure and get bogged down too much in comparing their lives againist somebody els'e we are all unique and that what makes life great and everybody should be thankful that they are alive and healthy as their is plenty of people who dont have that luxury.

hello dear..each one of us have negative and positive moments in our life. No exemption for that. Even rich people who have all the money in the world can't be happy all the time. To be angry with somebody who did something wrong with you is a normal response and that's part of life. There could be someone that we're unlikely meant to be meet but they are not villains, it's just happen that each one of us have roles to do and get into a conflict. But it doesnt mean that we have to stick into that negative part. it's up to us on how we deal our life. We are responsible in our life on how to be happy, no one does, except ourselves. For me, to be happy is do what you want and what you think is right and live life to the fullest!

Achieving something we want in life is not that easy, and what happen if we cannot achieve it? I think we would be sad again if we cannot do what we want.

How to be happy is something I educate people about all the time. The first step is to know what you want out of life. Sit down somewhere quiet with a notebook and focus ONLY on what you want. When your done create a dream board or put the list up somewhere and say it to yourself all the time. And you will notice the law of attraction will help you achieve it. And as you receive it you will find yourself very happy.

Yes if we receive it, we would be happy! But what if we don't receive it? The situation will become bad, right?

Another way for happiness is just being you. Being able to be satisfied with whom you are without caring what anyone else thinks! Because that is what will make you feel down. Check out this blog and its all about being happy! www.createyourownyou.blogspot.com its intent is to help people
