How to be happy: 7 ways to be happier

We all want to be happy but what is happiness? How you measure happiness? Is pleasure is happiness? If yes then why it is not sustainable. You have to understand first what is happiness? In simple words satisfied with your current life. The only way to live happily is the feeling of gratitude, the feeling of thankfulness, the feeling of contentment. In other words to live in the present moment instead of worrying about the past or future.

I know many people who are successful in their life, they got their dream job, house and car but still they feel unfulfilled. They are not satisfied with what they are now. The reasons may be the difference between their planning and execution or they planned it the wrong way. I asked them what they want from their life. What they want to give this world. They can’t answer it and confuse within selves.

“Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.”                                                                   ― Dalai Lama

Change your mind pattern- As we nurture we learn a lot from family and society and think and do the thing in that way. This creates a fixed pattern to see the world and to act, we always focus on what we don’t have and start to feel bad for ourselves and complain about circumstances where the problem starts. 

Take an example our body is like hardware and our action, thinking like software and you are the owner of this whole system. This software has many viruses like negative thinking, your reactions… you just need to change that software and reconfigure your system with positivity, mindfulness and good habits.   

The basic necessity of life is food, clothes, and house and you have all that which even dreams of millions of people in the world who are died from cold, hunger. You already living a dream life which is far better than millions of others than why and for what you worrying. You have to change the default setting of your mind and understand reality. You should be thankful for what you have.

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” 
                                      ― Mahatma Gandhi

You just need to find small things or reason to be happy like you are alive and healthy, you have a house, you have healthy relationships, etc… focus on a thing for them you are grateful- big or small. Peace of mind is another important factor of happiness. Everyone has faced ups and downs, rejection, failure it’s not the case only with you.
