Happiness Is

Today I read this phrase:

"No one but you is responsible for your happiness."

Once again I thought about it. I agree with the author 100%.

Happiness depends on ourselves. We either know how to test it or we don't. It doesn't matter how old we are, what gender we are and what country we live in. There is a reason for happiness in every moment. By and large, this is our perception of life.

I have a story about my family. My mother was in the hospital with a very unpleasant diagnosis. My sister arrived and the three of us sat, recalled something and laughed heartily. At that moment, my mother's friend entered the ward with tears in her eyes. She was so surprised that we laughed. She looked at us as weird. In her understanding, at such moments, everyone should be sad. And we just spent time with my mother and did not know at that moment how many more such meetings would be. By the way, everything is fine with my mother, she overcame the disease.

But … We enjoyed being with her. We were happy, laughing, caring, showing love.

Happiness that depends on ourselves is always with us. It makes us strong, confident, independent of the opinions of others. We alone influence what makes us happy and what doesn't.

Happiness, however, like the life (circumstances) that we impose on others, we transfer into their hands - is always shaky and fickle. Such happiness weakens, makes one dependent and insecure. Moreover, we can hardly understand such happiness. Most likely, it will be someone else's model proposed to us. We ourselves will not be in this happiness. It is difficult to make a person happy if he himself does not know how to make himself happy. Such people may have cynicism, devaluation of the efforts of another.

When we ourselves are the creators of our joy and happiness, we are able to be grateful to our loved ones. Those people who are also trying to make us happy. In this case, we multiply and fill our life with pleasures.

How to be happier?

· Focus on what pleases you.

· Surround yourself with what you like.

· Every day, use those things that you once bought for a special day.

· Move away from where you feel discomfort. Don't watch a movie to the end if it doesn't suit you. And if you went to the cinema with a friend / partner, give yourself and him the opportunity to enjoy. Leave him to watch the movie, and find yourself some pleasant entertainment.

· Pamper yourself.

· Consider any problem as a period that will pass. Even if it lasts long enough. Remember that the most common thing in life is change.

· Do not hold grudges for a long time, especially with loved ones. All the same, then you will put up.

· The little things are also very important. They are part of the whole and something big. When we create for ourselves conditions in which different details please, they do not get bored, but only cause a smile every time.

· And the most important thing. Start by making a list of what makes you happy. It doesn't matter what others think of you. This is your life, your happiness and your joy.

Do not trust your happiness to anyone.

Be happy.
