To Be Happy 

Dear Friends,

Happy February !!!

Somewhere I have read that happiness is within ourselves. Like "Beauty lies in the Beholders eyes".

On this Fabulous Beginning of February here I am trying to point out 14 Lovely facts that one can follow to be happy in her/his life. (Ladies first !)

1. Forget the past – One of the obstacles to happiness is a bad memory. There is nothing you can do about the past. so you’d better let them go and focus your energy on the present.

2. Take responsibility for your life – "The secret of Happiness is Freedom, and the secret of Freedom is Courage."

As the quote above says, freedom take courage. Freedom to choose requires the courage to take responsibitity for your life. You should’t blame someone else when something goes wrong. Take the responsibility and you have the power to choose.

3. Build relationships – Life’s truest happiness is found in relationships we make along the way. Make relationships your top priority and you are on your way to happiness.

4. Develop multiple passions – The more passions and desires one has, the more ways one has of being happy. The key to expanding to new passions is curiosity . If you are curious, you will have and endless stream of exciting things waiting for you.

6. Build your character – Character is the basis of hapiness and happiness is the sanction of character. Building your character is essential for happiness.

When you are true to yourself and others, you will be in peace. The way to start building your character is by making promises and keeping them. When you keep it, you build your character.

7. Live your life purpose – To have a fulfiling life, you should find your life purpose and follow it faithfully. Find what matters to you and build the courage to follow it.

8. Count your blessings – Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have. Look at what you have and soon you will have plenty of reasons to be happy.

9. Have positive mind – It is not the place, nor the condition, but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable.Your mind can make or break you, so guard it well.

10. Work creatively – Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative efforts.

11. Start with what you have – The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet. Be content with what you have and you will be happy.

12. Adopt Change - Being happy requires you to constantly grow. They must often change who want to be constant in happiness or wisdom.

13. Beware of small things – The happiness of most people we know is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetitions of slowly destructive little things. Even small leaks can sink your ship of happiness, so beware of them.

14. Make others happy – Happiness is a perfume you can not pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. Happiness doesn’t come through selfishness but through selflessness. You reap what you sow.

All in all, "Happiness depends upon ourselves !"

It is you who decide whether or not you are happy in life.

I choose to be happy.
