In this world full of sad realities and hardships at every
step, happiness is everyone's priority. The study, hard work, earning is all
that we do for joy, but in doing so, we forget that we are ignoring the present
moment of happiness to spend a happy and successful life in the future. Giving
up today's pleasure to get it in the future is not a wise decision, in my opinion. You should
surely work hard to and earn to have everything which you think can make you
happy, but honestly, it is not all about material things. Happiness is somehow
linked to your earnings, success, and material things but is not entirely
dependent on these things. It is not that if you don't have everything right,
you cannot be happy, you can still be pleased with self-love and appreciation.
You need to love yourself, accept your flaws, and be satisfied with the things
you already have. You need to change the way of thinking and know that there
are people who crave for the items you have.
Also,
sometimes you are not even happy after fulfilling all your desires because
happiness is the comfort of your body and relaxation of mind. To be satisfied,
you need to take care of your health as it is the first step to happiness.
Health is everything; if you are healthy, everything seems okay, but if you are
facing any illness, nothing can satisfy you or make your mood better. For a
happy life, you must adopt healthy practices. A comparison of Russian people's
financial position revealed that 84 percent of them were happy, and only 34
percent of them had a well business status, which means the remaining 50
percent were delighted along with their financial difficulties. It means that
money is just an element of happiness, not complete joy. People live a happy
life even when they are living with financial problems because they choose
other things over cash.
These things
include physical and mental health, living on some divine purpose, doing good
for your environment and people, maintaining positive relationships with
others, and self-appreciation. Self-appreciation is a major contributing factor
to your happiness. When you tell yourself that you are good enough and whatever
you have, or you do is just true happiness comes in. Happiness also comes from
love; if you have a loving partner that takes care of you, appreciates and
supports your pleasure always remains on your doorstep, that is why some people
believe that married ones are happier than single people. Pampering matters a
lot. The key to happiness is finding happiness in little things like good
weather, hot chocolate in winter eve, watching a movie with your partner,
hanging out with friends, reading your favorite book in a cozy blanket, getting
healthy food, and fresh air. These are the things that need no effort and still
give you happiness for that day, at least.
