- Do those things that make you happy
What brings you happiness? It is a person, place or thing or combinations of all 3?
Have you ever made a list of all the things the make you happy? I am sure the list would go n for pages and pages once you got started.
How many of t
hose things that make you happy do you incorporate into your daily life? Do you design your life around the things that make you happy?
- Live your life purpose/desires
To have a fulfilling life, you should find your life purpose and follow it faithfully. Find what matters to you and build the courage to follow it.
- Forget the past
You won’t be happy if you carry the burden of the past. There’s nothing you can do about the past, so focus your energy on the present. Reliving the past keeps it happening in your present.
- Practice compassion
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. The Dalai Lama
Compassion is perhaps the highest level of selflessness we could have. As this quote aptly says, practicing compassion can make both others and you happy.
But of course, it requires practice. Start with thinking about the people around you. Look at their needs and find ways to meet them. Even if you don’t do it out of compassion in the beginning, your compassion will grow over time.
- Be who you are
The summit of happiness is reached when a person is ready to be what he is. Desiderius Erasmus
You can only be happy if you become who you are. Don’t live other people’s life by trying to meet their expectations. People may expect you to have certain job or certain way of living but don’t be intimidated by them. Find who you are and be yourself.
