Gain Happiness In Your Life

Happiness is, according to Wiki, a state of mind or feeling characterised by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure and joy.

A lot of people believe that having lots of money and riches is the only way to gain happiness.
Money, lots of money, can bring sadness as well. The more we have the more we want and to get that wealth can mean endless time a way from loved ones which in turn will make them unhappy.
Spending lavishly on toys or gifts does not resemble happiness or love.

Just being content with life can bring joy to some people. Being loved by somebody, be it a friend or a lover, is all one may need. The material things in life are irrelevant.

Take time to smell the roses and enjoy life, laugh a little once in a while or make another laugh.
Have you ever caught yourself watching a child when they are laughing? If you cannot remember ever doing this try it.
Listening to another laugh makes you smile and almost every time, laugh also.

Happiness comes from within. It is not something that comes to you, it is something you create right now, today. Unknown

Abraham Lincoln once said "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."

Be Happy and Start Laughing

I remember seeing a program about a laughing club, now who ever heard of a 'laughing club'?
A group of people stood in a circle and just started laughing, seriously, laughing at nothing. My husband and I both looked at each other and remarked "What next."
But within a few minutes of watching these people continuously laugh at nothing, we began to laugh, at nothing, towards the end of the program I had tears in my eyes.

Start Living Life

Start living your life now and make it count. Your attitude to life is what makes happiness, become more positive about life and happiness will come.

Loss the self doubt and hatred from your mind, become more loving and forgiving. Learn to think of the postives rather than the negatives.
Relax and feel your emotions, think about how you are feeling and give yourself time to be calm by taking in deep breaths and exhaling slowly. Take control of all the stress in your life, if you feel that stress is starting to take over, walk away from the situation for a few minutes or an hour if you can. Get outside and let your body absorb the sunlight and take in some of that fresh air.

Remove all the uncomfortable emotions like guilt, anger, stress, fearful, depression, sadness and envy and start enjoying life.

    Happiness is not about money or power - it is about the little things in life - spending time with people you love and doing things which put a smile on your face.

    Great topic. I've been around for awhile; I'm an aging boomer and I'm happier than I've ever been. Why? I think it's because I don't take things too seriously. Used to. But not anymore.

    I think as we get older we realise that life is too short to be grumpy.
