I think of myself as the happiest person whenever I walk into a room, and most people notice my smile right away. Here are 20 ways you can find yourself as happy as I am. 1. Let it go. When someone criticizes you or says something not-so-nice, just forget it. Worse things have been uttered in human history. Even when you know the person meant it, remember that you become stronger by accepting them for who they are and knowing your capabilities. 2. Be kind. People who are mean and feel the need to put others down are insecure with themselves. But when you are kind to others, kindness returns to you. 3. Think of your problems as challenges. When you come up against a difficulty, whether a person or an event, consider what your future self will have learned from it. I believe it was Kanye West, or maybe Nietszche, who said, “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.” 4. Express gratitude. When you let people know that you appreciate them, they are more willing to help you in the future. Saying thank you is more than good manners—it’s karma. 5. Dream big. The happiest person has reached the highest level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs—self-actualization. If you want to be happy you must work hard to achieve something, and strive to attain that life goal. 6. Speak well of others. |
