What are your tips for being happy?

To be happy, don't expect other people to give that to you. Yes, it's not easy to be happy, but to achieve this state we have to begin in ourselves finding ways to make other people happy, then we just realized that making others happy is like making ourselves happy. Being optimistic is one of the many things that can make us happy. Expect less about what the world could possibly give you, because when the world fails to give you what you want to feel about, you will end up a lonely person.

be contented, do not expect for more, learn to appreciate things, help those who are in needs if you could..and just live life according to God, those whats make people happy

great question. I find that it's the simple things that makes me happy - a smile, a hug, a 'hello', a card, a phone call just to chat. I used to think that being rich in money would make me happy but it only creates more stress, now I think being rich in passing on information to someone who needs it is more precious. You can call it paying it forward or whatnot, but it does make me feel good to help someone as well.

Ill give you a tip , the best way to stay happy is to lower your expectations , and be less dependent on others. Most problems arise when you expect somethin and dont get it , hence they stand in the way of happiness , so best way to be happy is to lower your expectations.

Friend. Let me answer your question in a different way. Its like cleaning a dusty idol, if u want to make the idol look good, remove the dust. Same way when you want to be happy, remove the sad part of you. Don't involve yourself in things which makes you dull, negative or irritative. If in case you land yourself in such negative things, run away from it or divert yourself into something which would make you happy. I have succeeded in that way, so you have a live example.So any further comments/queries are most welcome.
