HOW TO BE HAPPY

Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim of human existence. My mind is my Kingdom. When my mind is happy, I am happy and the World seems to be happy. So happiness is the status of your mind.

Happiness is a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction. Life is full of ups & downs. Nobody is going to be happy every moment. Life is just not like that. In order to experience happiness you must experience other emotions, including sadness and anger, to some degree nearly every day

There are several things in this World which can make you happy. Gandhiji said: “Happiness depends upon on what you give, not what you can receive”

So one method of getting happiness is serving the poor. Mother Theresa found happiness through serving the blind, orphans, disabled and old aged people. There is not a single thing that she does for herself. Her every action is devoted to the good of others. And the World believes that she is an extremely happy lady. Also Florence Nightingale found happiness through Nursing the wounded soldiers. So if you want to be happy, make others happy

A famous author George Williams said ”Happiness lies, first of all, in health.” Health is wealth. Good health is very essential for happiness. We can keep a healthy body and mind through regular exercise and meditation.

Be always optimist. Bhagavat Gita says that, whatever happened, it happened for good, What is happening is also for good. Whatever will happen that too will be for good. So do not worry about the past. Work hard & concentrate on the present moments. Definitely it will bring you happiness. Count your blessings. You have a lot of things to be thankful for - a home, a loving family, friends you enjoy, a job, a sunny day, the knowledge you've acquired etc. A mind that counts blessings has no room for un-happiness.

Charity work will give you happiness. Donate your unused kitchen utensils, toys, books, furniture cloths etc to charity. The bonus is that your shelves and cupboards are clutter free and housework is easier.
