Everything that we do or ever did is to be happy. Happiness comes to us in various forms and types, but it goes away faster than it seems to stay. Having a happy mind will help you to be a better person and help you reach new heights.

The road to happiness lies in two simple principles: find what it is that interests you and that you can do well, and when you find it, put your whole soul into it — every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have. – John D. Rockefeller III

Here, in this post I will try to mention the points that I follow to get happy and frankly speaking I am happy most of the times. We must also remember sadness is also an integral part of happiness. Happiness and sadness are like two faces of the same coin, by following these steps we are only increasing the probability of happiness. If we are happy at all point of life, we really can’t understand it’s true meaning.

Simplicity :

Simplicity is probably the biggest secret to a happy life. With our daily schedules, work environment, constant work stress, personal problems can make life really very complicated and confusing. The amount of complication multiplies as more and more people get in touch with us. The simple solution to this situation is don’t allow anyone and everyone to interfere in your personal life. Having a lots of friends is good, but close friends should always be few. It only sounds stupid when a person boasts saying, I have lots of close friends. To me it sounds like, I have lots of complications.

Don’t be too bothered about others :

Sounds too rude to be true, but it is. If you are too concerned about others, you are stressing yourself unnecessarily tensions and situations. This doesn’t mean you leave your near and dear’s into stress and wash you hands. They do require care and love . Unnecessary tension will only increase to your stress level.

Appreciate what you have :

Being contend with what we have, will generates a great level of satisfaction in life. Before thinking of people above you, think once about the people below you. But at the same time you need to be ambitious and prosper in a rightly manner. The success which you gain at someone’s expense won’t last longer and won’t be satisfying either.

Be fit and healthy :

A healthy body is equally important for a healthy mind. Exercising 3-4 times a week can really change you as a person. Make you more confident and energetic in the way you take things. If you are planning to join a gym do go through these starter’s tips which I mentioned earlier. Being healthy and fit doesn’t mean 6 pack abs or bulging chest. A simple Yoga exercise can lead you to a happy life. Stay away from addictive stuffs, drinks, drugs. They do please your mind but they make your brain so dependent on them, absence of it will make you stressed and unhappy.

Be independent :

Never expect anything from anyone, the reason most of the time we feel bad is we expected too much from them and got too little. Try to be as independent as possible, be a one man army. It is easy said than done. Try to minimize your dependence on other, love being yourself and do not change for anyone or anything. The more independent you become the lesser your expectations will be from others leading to lesser unhappy moments.
