Happiness is something everyone wants to achieve. While on the surface people may seem to be looking for money, recognition, or other things, what they actually seek is happiness. Unfortunately, many people never reach the level of happiness they desire. While I can’t claim to be the happiest person in the world (I wish I could :) ), I do know that Your happiness is YOUR responsibility. Don’t blame outside conditions or other people if you’re not happy. While things around you could change and go bad, it is you who decide how you will respond to them. You can decide to be HAPPY.
With that in mind, here are a few ways I’ve found to bring happiness in life:
1. Stop Comparing Yourself With Others:
Comparing yourself with others won’t do you any good. You will either feel proud when you are above, or feel jealous and frustrated when you are below. None of them brings true happiness. So stop comparing yourself with others and simply be your best.
2. Count Your Blessings!
There are so many things we should be grateful for, but we often forget them. When you realize how blessed you are, you will certainly be happier.
We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. You can start with some simple things we take for granted.
3. Find Your Inner Voice:
To find true happiness, you must first find your inner voice. Slow down and take some quiet time for soul searching. What will make your life meaningful? What is true happiness for you? By knowing what your heart says, it will be easier for you to align with it.
4. Help Someone!
Giving is an essential key to happiness. While we often think that we will be happier when we receive, the truth is we are happier when we give. This is also one of the most difficult things to apply.
You can apply this by finding someone in need and lending a helping hand. The person could be your family, friend, or even a stranger. You could also donate to a charity.
I feel when these areas in our lives are fully developed, our wisdom completely eradicates all negativity and all confusion from the mind. And to our Success, creates the right inner conditions, specifically receiving inspiring blessings, purifying negative karma, and accumulating meritorious energy- -All which will foster true Happiness!
