3 Keys to Be Happy

Happiness is a choice. It is not an emotion but a decision. Nothing can make a person happy unless the person himself doesn’t choose to be happy. No one can make you happy unless you decide to be happy. And once you decide to be happy, nothing can stop you from being happy other than you.

Pursue happiness. Stop waiting passively to feel it and start actively choosing to be it. Don’t squander your dreams for a tomorrow that might not even come. Your happiness can not come to you, it must come from you. I have the three basic keys to share that promise happiness and contentment if practiced religiously.

Thankfulness, Thankfulness, and Thankfulness…

Find reasons around yourself to be thankful for. There are numerous things surrounding you that need to be recognized. I know, at times, it gets hard to express thankfulness when life is not going the way you want it to. But no matter how hard life gets, there is always something you can be thankful for. Jot down the reasons and express thankfulness by appreciating and treasuring them.

No Comparisons with Others Whatsoever…

Comparison is the thief of joy. Just like comparing apples to oranges doesn’t make any of them less delicious or deprive them of their right to be called a fruit, I render any comparison among humans entirely insensible too. Someone’s beauty never talks about the absence of others. Everyone is principally different and, therefore, not worth any comparison. 

Prioritizing your Well-being More…

Take charge of your happiness. Start engaging in activities that help improve your well-being since things can change once you put your mind to it. Surrender control. It’s necessary for you to focus on your own happiness and engage in daily habits for a happy life. You have to develop them in a way that you become the source of your happiness.

Happiness doesn’t depend on what we have but on how we feel about what we have. We can be happy with little and miserable with much. It is all in your mind. Life is a beautiful gift, make the most out of it. And try your best to stay happy.
