And here we are; we all want that thing called happiness. We search for it, work for it expecting it to find it in money, houses, and relationships .
The funny thing about it is that the more we want to achieve it the less we are to attain it, because it's not the future that holds it .( the future doesn't exist.)
We get worried and anxious if we are not happy or at least satisfaied in a long term; some of us work harder to get more money expecting to be happiest with the income ;instead we end stressed out feeling anxious and we lose control on ourselves making us feel miserable.
As have been said: happiness can't be attained by pursuing material things or people. It's a personal thing and you can't be happy every single momment. You'll have bad days ( we all do) and that's completely fine.
As we learn a bit how life works we'll see each day as a new opportunity to be better and kind to ourselves and others to not rely on expectations; if expectations are not meet we'll end hurting ourselves.
Things to remember and practice for a joyful life.
- Be grateful with what you have.
- Be present in the momment, no matter what you're doing. ( chores or work doesn't have to be boring ; be present, mindful, and have fun.)
- Find joy in the little things that life offers to you.
- Help someone whenever you have the opportunity to. ( you could make their day; you never know what other people is going through.)
- Be kind to others; kindness is contagious.
- Be. Authentic and keep true to yourself.
- Smile more; it's contagious too.( now it sounds epidemic I know.)
- Do more of what makes you happy.( that feeling when your heart jumps of happiness; You'll know it, pay attention.)
- Bring out more often your inner child; your inner child knows lots of things about yourself that you've forgotten; he knows how to have fun too. (Embrace it)
- If you're blessed with true friendships, keep them close; nurture your friendship. ( remember; quality over quantity is oky.)
- Don't be so hard on yourself.
Happiness is an inside job; You'll have bad days but they won't define your life.
