What is happiness? "Happiness", according to one human capital development expert, "is a feeling of inner peace and satisfaction. It is usually experienced when there are no worries, fears, or obsessing thoughts, and this happens when we do something we love to do or when we get, win, gain or achieve something that we value.
Discover your true life purpose. The basics of living a happy life is determining what you love doing, and what you are good at. What are those things that you do almost effortlessly? What are those things that bring you fulfillment and a sense of inner peace? When you do what you love, you become happy.
Happiness is a mindset. Being happy is a thing of the mind. If you want to live a happy life, think positively. Think about the progress of others. If however, you want to live a miserable life, think negatively.
Happiness is determined by your interpretation of events. There are two sides to everything that happens to you in life. There is a bright side and a dark side to every event. You can become better from bitter life experiences. You can learn good lessons from bad experiences.
You are in charge of your emotions. Often, one can think that happiness is the outcome of positive events. In reality, happiness actually comes from the inside, triggered by outer events. That said, regardless of what happens to you, you can decide to be happy.
Choose to be happy. What are the things that make you happy? Do more of the things that make you happy, and less of the things that make you sad on a daily basis. If you let outer events influence your moods, attitude or behaviour, you become a victim of circumstances. You loose your freedom.
Appreciate what you have. Appreciation leads to happiness. Appreciate your life the way it is now, and then seek to improve it. Appreciate your friends, and your family members. Appreciate every act of kindness.
You have all you need. It is easy for you to think that you lack one or two things. The truth is that no one has it all. What you have is enough to take you to where you want to be. Don't be conditioned by the society to feel that you need to have what the lady next door has. You should not compare yourself with others.
Enjoy life. Time 'flies.' Don't be too busy with your life that you ignore enjoying yourself. Don't let your life zoom off, enjoy it. Forget about the past and the future for a moment, and enjoy being here. Happiness should not only be experienced at the destination, but along the way to the destination.
Money is not equal to happiness. Money is an amplifier. It makes you become more of who you are already. If you have clear-cut goals, more money can make you achieve your goals faster. If you are confused, more money may increase your confusion.
Take charge of your finance. Money is important because of its purchasing power. Don't spend on impulse. Spend from your budget. Learn to spend less than you earn because expenses will always rise to meet income.
Live on purpose with passion. What brings me the most joy is helping people to live the life of their dreams through my articles, life coaching and speaking engagement.
As you celebrate in this yuletide season, don't let your happiness end there. You can be happy for the rest of your life.
