  HOW TO BE HAPPY ALWAYS

Happiness – the mantra every human being on this earth is often chanting now a day. Then, we must know what actually the “happiness” is? If I ask this question, few people may reply that having bungalow, big car, handsome salary and good bank balance – is happiness. Some may say keeping good health, others may say earning name and fame in the society. Then after getting all the materialistic comforts like car, bunglow, bank balance, name and fame, is human being staying happily throughout their life? These things may keep the person happy for a temporary period only, but not always. In reality, happiness is available to all of us, right now. A bunglow or a new car won’t actually make a person happier; it is the simple joy in life that brings true happiness.

Then, what to do to attain the real happiness in our life, which will be with us forever. Here are some interesting areas one can choose as per their interest to lead a real happy life.

1. Help Others:

Sometimes after accomplishing their personal goals, people still feel empty inside because they have not made meaningful contribution to someone else’s life to those who are in real need. Helping needy and downtrodden people in the society makes people finding their own happiness.

2. Share with others:

When we share our ideas, our time and our abilities with others, we feel better for it. A life lived without sharing can become lonely and boring. When you share with others, they will also feel great towards you and help you to feel more happiness in your life.

3. Smile More:

Whenever there is an opportunity, smile and make people around you also smile. Smile costs nothing. In fact smile rejuvenates your nerves system, helps relief from tension. Smile can make you happier.

4. Spend time with your loved ones:

After completing your office / business work, spend the leisure time with your family and children. Try to take food with all the family members once in a day, preferably at night. Keep away all your electronic gadgets when you are spending time together. This enables focused attention towards our loved ones. Make sure that you are a fond member of the family who cares for them.

Friends and relatives are also plays a prominent role in our life. Try to allocate time and meet them occasionally and interact with them. Try to plan for holidays at least twice in a year with family and

friends. This helps not only keeps you happy, but makes the entire family and friends happy and strengthen the bondage among you all.

5. Dump negative thinking:

It is quite natural for a human being to carry negative feelings, negative thoughts for long time. Moreover, they do not leave this negativity easily. Because of this characteristic, people feel sorrow, stressed and unable to live happily. Once a person comes out from these negative thoughts then only they can be happy in their life. To overcome this, try to choose people with positive mindset as your companion and try to spend time with them.

6. Forgive and forget:

The greatest virtue in a human being is “Forgiveness”. A person who forgives faults, mistakes, and wrong doings of others will be adjudged as a saint. By virtue of this forgiveness, the heart and mind is clean always and he/she does not carry any grudge against any one, which enables the person to lead a happiest life.

7. Be yourself:

As Steve Jobs said, “your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life”. Accept who you are, just be yourself and you will feel a world of difference.

Hope, everyone try to follow these small traits and get immense happiness throughout their life. Finally I would like to conclude this with the following saying of Lord Gautama Buddha
