Happiness is a by-product of right thinking and well-balanced life. The happiest people don’t have the best of everything but they just make the best of everything.
Live simply so that others may simply live. We have the right to enjoy the blessings we possessed but we should temper our desires and wants. Make simplicity the keynote of our daily plans by setting our priorities right and giving importance to what are most essential to us. Do not clutter our life with so many pre-occupations. Simple things are best because it will not complicate our life; hence, it is easy for us to appreciate what we have and be happy.
Think positive, constructive, and always hopeful that better things are yet to come. Store useful thoughts and endeavor to learn new things. Positive thought is a catalyst of good feelings and attract positive experiences. We will feel better if we are optimistic because it will not only give us a brighter outlook but will also give us the opportunity to bring about good results.
Cultivate a yielding disposition. Resist the common tendency to want our own way always. Listen to other people’s viewpoint because there’s no monopoly of knowledge in this world even how intelligent and wise we think we are for learning is a continuing process.
Develop a mental attitude of peace and goodwill by mustering our moods and temper. Live in peace with situations and events that we cannot control and change. This will free us from stress. The only way to achieve peace in this world is for all to start having peace within ourselves.
Give generously. There is no greater joy in life than to give and share happiness to others by means of intelligent giving. We reap what we sow, if we make others happy, it will always go back to us.
Work with right motives. The highest purpose of our life should be to grow in spiritual grace and power. We should mellow through the years, achieving maturity and desirable character and disposition by age or experience.
Live one day at a time. Concentrate on our immediate task. Appreciate each moment and live in the present for yesterday is already past and tomorrow has yet to come. Make the most of today so we have time to enjoy where we are.
Have a productive hobby such as studying nature, walking, gardening, listening to music or singing, playing or watching our favorite sports, sketching or painting, enrolling in voice lessons or public speaking, learning new language, playing or watching our favorite game, reading books, indulging in photography, getting involve in social service, travelling to interesting and beautiful places, writing a book, etc. Turn such favorite hobby as a diversion and relaxation.
Last but not least, always pray and keep close to God, for a week without prayer makes us weak.
