Happiness must come from within. Happiness is coming to terms with oneself, acceptance. Happiness comes after becomes comfortable with oneself and is content with their position in life.

Getting Happiness:

A person cannot get happiness externally; money and things do not make a person happy. A person with nothing can be truly happy. A person with much wealth is not necessarily happy. One cannot expect happiness. Happiness cannot be forced. One cannot make oneself happy out of pure will; one must become happy. Happiness is an achieved state.

Happiness must be earned. It cannot be bought, or given; it must be acquired. You cannot go to a store, buy a box of happy, consume it and then instantly feel happy. It does not work that way.

Happiness cannot be forced; it must be welcomed. You must allow yourself to be happy. You cannot be happy if you are too busy worrying about other stuff or trying to get something you don’t have. Becoming happy takes time. Don’t expect it right away. It is a lifestyle, a process. It does not occur instantly. Becoming happy comes with practice.

Becoming Happy:

Happiness is not complicated. You do not need a high-tech solution. Happiness is being comfortable with yourself, with what you’ve got, with your position in life.

Look at what you’ve got. Be thankful. Be happy with it. Get rid of what you don’t want. Don’t try to become happy by getting more of something, try to become happy by getting less of something. Figure out what it is that you want. It does not have to be an object, but it could be a place to live, a thing to do, a feeling, etc. That is what happiness is. This is how to become happy.

Don’t wait, start being happy now. Enjoy life while it lasts.

Be Happy, There’s No Other Way!

Be Happy.

A happy life is a better life. When you enjoy life, things are much easier and problems don’t seem so severe. And attitude is everything. Don’t let anybody else tell you any differently. If you focus on having a good time and enjoying life rather than on your problems, you will be happier and enjoy life more.

Enjoy it. It’s not worth it if you don’t. Life can be great or it can be painful, but is doesn’t have to be. You can choose how you want to live. It is a matter of focus. Your attitude determines how you feel in a certain situation: If you’re going in looking to be disappointed, you will be. But, if you are looking to have a good time, you are much more likely to than if you complain.

I’ve lived miserably and I’ve lived happily. I’ve done both; I know which one is better. Life’s too short to be anything but happy.

It’s true. It works.
