6 Ways To Live A Happy Life

 If you travel everywhere around the world you'll find that people have this one

 trait in common they all want to be happy people whether you go to China

 or Brazil or India or Japan wherever you go you'll find that everyone wants to

 be happy now Dale Carnegie once said that success is getting what you want

 but happiness is wanting what you get and you really have to understand

 that happiness is not an external factor it's not like when the Sun shines I'll

 be happy or when I meet the wife of my dreams or the husband of my dreams

 I'll be happy or anything outside of you right you're not going to be happy

 if you get a job or if you make more money you're going to be happy if you

 accept yourself if you love what you do if you feel fulfilled so today I'm going

 to give you six things that you can do to live a more happy life the first

 thing you have to do is appreciate everything now sometimes when you wake

 up it's hard to really appreciate everything because you think of the day-to-

day struggles you think of what's going on at work what's going on your

 family what's going on with yourself your health right there's so many different

 things and sometimes it could be distracting because really you have to think

 about the fundamentals if you really consider that most of the people around

 the world do not have food you would be pretty grateful for where you are

 right now or that most of the people are not working the kind of jobs that they

 want to work I'm pretty sure you'll be happy or for   instance most of the

 people don't even have drinking water you'll be happy now consider all those

 things right consider that your rows are already paved right that you already

 have taxes that you can pay for government workers to help you to become a

 better civilian right you already have food on your table every day these

 things sometimes are taken for granted and so we have to understand that

 the essence of life is to appreciate if you appreciate things going to get more

 of it it's like if you appreciate your loved ones you're going to get more hugs

 more kisses right they're going to help you they're going to be there they're

 going to support you so appreciate the things that you have instead of the

 things that you don't have and you'll be a lot more happier the second thing

 you want to do to live a happy life is to stop complaining Abraham Lincoln

 once said that we can complain that rose bushes have thorns or we can

 rejoice that thorn bushes have roses you see you have to be thankful for what

 you have but you also have to stop complaining about what you don't have

 the money you don't have the neighbors that you think are so annoying the

 family members that you think gossip so often right stop complaining

 stop criticizing and start being thankful when you do this you'll find that

 your appreciation is going to help you to be happier in your life the third thing

 you want to do is tell the truth right someone once said that you shall

 know the truth and the truth shall set you free and the fact is that a lot

 of people try to delude themselves they try to tell themselves that certain

 things aren't the way they are like there's people who are obese that

 tell themselves that they're still in good shape or people who say that they

 have good money but they know it can get better right so ask yourself what is

 the truth what must I do to change what must I do to identify with the truth and

 make these radical changes in my life so that I can live more truthful and

 become more of the person that I want to be the fourth idea that's really going

 to make you happy is to search your heart search your intentions search your

 motives and ask yourself am I really pursuing this goal with the right mind am

 I really loving the people that I'm serving am I really giving back

 in compassion right search your heart and ask yourself if these are the

 things that are required to push you to the next level right we have to

 check ourselves before we reckon ourselves every day and what I want you

 to do is to take a moment and think about your intentions think about your

 motives and think about if you're loving today or if you're showing resentment

 right you want to love you want to give people your compassion you want to

 show them that you care so love people but search your heart before you do

 the fifth thing that you want to do is to confide with other people confide with

 people that you trust and these people are called confidants now many of us

 have at least two confidants people that we tell everything to some of us have

 only one right but we definitely have people that we can talk to that really trust

 us right and so we have to be vulnerable to them we have to actually tell

 them what's going on in our world and see their perspective and actually be

 able to let go some of the hindrances that are stopping us from living

 successfully you see if you want to be happy you're to be able to express

 yourself to people who really care so sometimes what I do is I write my

 journal and I write to my Higher Self alright to God that I speak to myself as I

 reflect on the changes that I need to make and maybe that's what you need to

 do sometimes it might take 10-15 minutes sometimes it might even take an

 hour but do whatever it takes to get inside your deeper self and confide

 whether it's to yourself a higher power or to someone that really loves you

 either way you're going to have to get it out if you want to be happy and the

 six idea is to really trust yourself a lot of times people go out and they live

 their lives but they don't trust themselves fully they end up bending with the

 wind and they don't really decide what they want to accomplish because they

 don't really know if they can do it but really what ,I want you to do is to trust

 yourself. I want you to understand that you're capable of reaching that next

 level of success .I'm not saying you have to go for the highest level of success

 and absolutely demand that you're going to crush it but what I'm saying is

 that trust that you're going to be able to transition in that new job or trust

 that you're going to be able to start that new business or that your

 relationships will work out right and part of trust is having faith and faith is

 knowing that what you want will come to fruition as long as you believe  so

 trust yourself and you'll trust everyone else everyone will trust you you know I

 feel so good about this I'm gonna give you a bonus one comparison right one

 of the things that people do that really stops them from living happily is they

 end up comparing themselves to other people other places other ideas they

 start looking at how everyone else is dressing and they say well I can't really

 dress like that or what kind of money that other person is making and they

 say I can't really do that because that's not me well the fact is that it doesn't

 have to be you see comparison is the thief of joy and if you're

 allowing comparison to rob you of who you are then you're really cutting

 yourself  short I want you to live more gladly more joyfully and if you should

 be comparing  your former self because your

 future  self will thank you for in order to live a happy life you have to take in all the

 experiences your to appreciate everything you have to stop  comparing yourself

 you got to stop blaming and criticizing other people and start knowing that

 everything will work out to your benefit you see when you succeed everyone

 benefits so be able to live happily live prosperously and make those changes

 in your life so that you can be the success of your dreams .
