Remember, following your own rules does not mean ignoring morals and ethics. As long as you have a clean mind and fairly intentions, you will always stay happy.
2. Do not care for what others might think
Life today is like a court of numerous people having their own opinions and we just cannot please all of them at the same time. There will ALWAYS be a bunch of people who are not satisfied with us. Therefore, whenever you need to take a decision, make sure it is not based on these people. Do whatever you think is best for you! After all no one walks in your shoes.
3. Make your own definition for success
It’s only you who is going to define the word SUCCESS in your life. Every individual has this right to accomplish their goals and take up success the way they want. For some, excessive money in their bank accounts, lavish lifestyle and other materialistic things might define success whereas for some it’s, family get-togethers, spare time, a holiday with friends and other priceless things.
4. Do not take life too seriously
As we all know, life is very short! The more we keep ourselves sorted, the more we increase our chances of being happy in life. Since we have no control over things in this unpredictable life we must avoid getting worried and bothered on petty issues. Rather, we must learn to enjoy each and every moment of life and making the most out of it.
5. Understand what happiness is
It is important to understand that “happiness” is not a destination, whereas it’s just a journey. There’s no rule book to attain happiness. In fact, simply enjoying all the ups and downs throughout the journey of life is what you have to do.
6. Get over all your frustrations
No matter how harder we work on this, it is just impossible to NOT to face the negative phases of life. There will be millions of times when life will give you lemons but it is you who decides how to deal with these. The best way is to get over all these frustrations and disturbances and focus on the positive things waiting ahead.
7. Give more
Be it your time or money, the more you give it to others, the more you receive happiness. Spending extra time with your friends, family or the person you love as well as spending some part of your income on charity can never fail to give you immense happiness.
8. Expect less
The best way to avoid disappointment is to not expect anything from anyone. That’s the most important secret to happiness in today’s world. Whenever you do something for someone make sure you stop yourself for nurturing any kind of expectations from them in return.
9. Live the moment forget the past
Whatever happened in the past is over now. Carrying those past incidents throughout your life is a blunder in itself. No one in this world has the power to change the occurrences that happened before so just stop wasting your time on it. All you can do is accept the past and move on to a better tomorrow with positivity.
10. Find happiness in ordinary things
The most crucial rule for happiness is finding happiness in the smallest things! It is well proven that money can’t buy happiness and therefore instead of running behind huge treasures in life, we must notice the happiness hidden in ordinary things we encounter daily.
A long walk with your love, watching sunsets, spending time in the lap of nature, helping the needy ones, making someone smile, planning a vacation with long lost friends, meditation, playing with your dog etc are a few examples of how we can find happiness in our daily life very easily. After all we all are well aware that happiness comes in small packages...
Keep smiling, stay happy…!!
