Up to this day people are still trying to find happiness in their own lives. It was mostly believed that rich people are the happiest members of our societies,but nower days it is mostly believed that rich people are the most unhappiest members of our societies. The truth of the matter is happiness doesn't depend on whether you are rich or poor,it depends solely on the state of your mind. Surely material possessions can bring you some sort of satisfaction,but it wont last for very long. There are some of the things that can bring you a life long happiness:
CONTENTMENT
Being satisfied with what you have is the best way to be happy. I know there are many things that you would like to achieve and that is good,and looking at other people' success may also give you some inspiration,but sometimes it might make you feel worthless and jealous. There are people who will come up and do things better than you,and that doesn't mean they're better than you,so instead of always focusing on other people' success and things that you want,try to take some time in your day to focus on what you have achieved,what you have that is valuable to you. Be happy with your life as it is,and when you take it to the next level,you wont have to worry much about being happy because you'll always be happy.
LIFESTYLE
Your friends,living conditions,area that which you live in, and the relationship that which you have with the people around you also has an effect on your feelings. Making friends with everyone is good,but be selective about the ones that you bring closer to you. Be closer to people who want the best of you,who motivates you,who tell you the truth as it is not only what you want to hear. When it comes to your living conditions and the area that which you live in,know exactly where you want to make improvements and work hard towards making those improvements. Identify what you don't like and change it. As the relationship you have with the people around you also plays a part on how you feel, having a good relationship with people can only be of your advantage. Try to be humble and always seek for better ways to resolve problems between you and other people without causing conflict.
THOUGHTS
Happiness depends on your thinking so always try to control your thoughts,that is the best way of being happy. You should always apply positive thinking especially when you're in difficult times,interpret your problems in a useful way. See your problems as indications of that you are making progress in life. Each and everyday find some inspiration and motivation,it is the best way of keeping your desire for success and your happiness in a good state.
GOAL SETTING
Having a task at hand is what makes life meaningful and full of happiness. Set as many realistic goals as you can,and by achieving them you'll not only be adding value to your life,you'll also be increasing the level of your happiness. Your goals should range from short term to long term goals. Having many goals will help you not to feel too disappointed when you didn't achieve some of your goals,as you'll be having something to be happy for. The reason some hard working people are not happy with their lives it is because they don't have any goals,and in the end they find that they have not achieved much of what they really want in their lives. Setting goals is the best way of choosing what you really want in your life,by achieving your goals you'll get what you want from this life,and by getting what you want you'll be happy.
