Man was born to be happy! I am absolutely convinced of this. I believe that every person living on this earth has the right to do so, and most importantly, he can be a happy person! And you are my dear reader in the first place. Happiness is not some ephemeral state, fleeting and elusive. Happiness can be permanent, happiness can become your life, every minute, every second you can enjoy it. Happiness is not attained at a specific point in time when you can say, "now I am happy." Happiness consists of little things, of fleeting but very important moments in life. And if you notice these things, then happiness forever dwells in your hearts. To be happy means to enjoy life in all its forms. In everyday affairs and worries, we very often forget why we came to this world. But an epiphany comes and we remember, our soul remembers that we were born to be happy. I want these steps to help you find true happiness, to open up hitherto unknown and unknown energies in you that will awaken in you the desire to live, show the path to the search for happiness, and ultimately you will find it. I will pray for each of you that you will find a way out of the daily cycle and become free, become truly happy.

1. Notice the little things.

Our whole life consists of various seemingly insignificant moments and events, which, intertwining, make up a complete picture. Everything big is made up of small. The year is divided into days, the book consists of pages, a million without a thousand is no longer a million. And if you remove at least some part of the small, the whole will cease to exist. This also applies to your life. It all consists of seemingly insignificant but so important things. Pay attention to them, let them enter your life, fill it with colors, try to look at everyday things differently, in a new way, and your life will be filled with completely different feelings and emotions!

I remember one day I was driving with my friend. It was evening and the sun was getting ready to set over the horizon. We moved in the direction of the mountains to feel the crunch of the first snow and enjoy the winter freshness, finally breaking free from the captivity of the city bustle and smog. The road then went up, then unexpectedly, winding down to the bottom. There was a forest and mountains around, so when, after the next climb, a view of the plain opened up to us, I was amazed. She was illuminated by a bright burgundy light emanating from the sun, which was slowly sinking below the horizon. Its light was reflected on everything that surrounded us. The snow-white caps of the mountains literally absorbed the light emanating from the sun and it seemed that now they would burst into flames. The sky was overflowing with unimaginable colors that are difficult to imagine. Seemingly ordinary things, mountains, forest, sunset, but it was so beautiful, I was just mesmerized by this view. But as it turned out, this did not make such an impression on my fellow traveler as it did on me.

- Look how beautiful!

I told my friend. To which he replied:

- Just think, the sunset is like a sunset.

And then I realized that it turns out that not everyone notices the beauty around them, they do not see it in such ordinary things as the nature around us. At that moment I thought: how much he loses just not noticing the beauty in an ordinary sunset. But this is a kind of miracle. Look around, see how beautiful the trees and flowers are, what a deep and endless sky over your head, how diverse the natural world is. Everything around lives and pulsates, radiating joy and light. So let this light penetrate you, allow yourself to be a part of the world around you. Pay attention to those things that seem ordinary and ordinary to you, try to look at them differently, in a new way. In fact, the little things contain meaning and content, they are always more than you think. Rejoice and greet everything that surrounds you, believe me, this is the right way to find happiness.

2. Accept yourself.

Answer me one question. How often do you criticize yourself? Once a day? Several times a day? Or are you constantly dissatisfied with yourself? I am sure that not a day goes by so that you do not regret something and do not blame yourself for what is happening. So that's enough! Stop blaming yourself for all your mistakes, mistakes and failures. Stop beating yourself up and remembering your unsolved problems day after day. Stop the monologue of your inner judge, he has already punished you enough. Understand that man is not perfect! Nobody, neither you, nor I are standards, ideal people in all respects and this is normal, I would even say that this is wonderful, this is what distinguishes us, makes us individual. Each of us has its own advantages and disadvantages, its own pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses. But why do we love one thing in ourselves and hate another when it is part of us and distinguishes us from other people? Let me tell you a little secret, I'm terribly lazy. Not the best quality, right? Not every person can admit that they have it. And I am also proud of it. After all, despite my laziness, I am successful. Do you know why? Because I accepted my laziness and fell in love with it, turning it to my advantage. Knowing this part of my character, I am more successful in managing my time and, oddly enough, I am better at coping with any tasks. It is laziness that moves me forward and helps me find ways of least resistance, which ultimately allows me to solve any problem in less time. It is now one of my best tools. I stopped blaming myself for this quality of mine, stopped attributing my mistakes to laziness and just allowed myself to be who I am. So you accept yourself as or as you are. Turn your shortcomings in your opinion for your own good, look at them from a different angle. Maybe it's all the same your merits? Let yourself be wrong, let yourself be imperfect, let yourself be less than perfect, just let yourself be yourself. Don't blame or scold yourself if something doesn't work out the way you would like it to. Ask yourself for forgiveness and forgive, forgive for everything in your opinion mistakes, shortcomings, failures, and you will feel how it will become easier for you. You will feel a surge of strength, a desire to live, a desire to move forward. Promise yourself never to judge yourself for anything again. Make a promise to yourself that you will love yourself, you will do everything to be a happy and successful person, because you can achieve this, you know! And even if you stumble, just accept it and move on with a firm, confident step. Accept yourself real, real, without masks, and then you will become free, and this is another small step towards your happiness.

3. Seize the moment.

My dear reader, I want to tell you one truth that I am sure you know for sure and have heard many times, but if I don’t tell you about it, I will regret it for the rest of my life, and I’m not used to regret anything. In addition, when I got to know her and realized, my life literally turned upside down, I realized what I was doing wrong and what I needed to do. And I want you to truly accept what I am about to tell you. And this truth is as simple as everything ingenious. Life is fleeting! In the endless ocean of time and space, our life is like a grain of sand in the desert, too tiny and invisible. But for the one to whom it belongs, this grain of sand is all that exists and it belongs to you. Only you and only you have the right to dispose of your life. So live it up to the last second. Live with every fiber of your soul. Feel with every cell of your body. Catch every moment of your life and enjoy it as the last, because you do not know what awaits you in the next moment. Forget about the past because you cannot bring it back. Do not think about the future, it is a consequence of your thoughts and actions in the present. Live now, act now, love now, breathe now. This is your time and only yours. There won't be a better time to change your life. There will be no more favorable conditions for taking action. Only now and never again. Everything comes in due time, so do not miss it, so as not to regret that you could have done more. You can return a lot, but not time. So cherish this precious resource of your life, use it as efficiently as possible and then you will become a full-fledged master of your destiny and reach any heights you wish. Put in a little effort, analyze your time, where does it go, what do you spend it on? Are the things that you do really benefit and satisfy you, and are not artificial and distracting you from your true goal? Think about it! make a choice in your favor, choose your future, fill your life with meaning, live every moment of your life consciously and purposefully. People are too mediocre in their time, not realizing that sooner or later it simply will not be. Time is that resource that always ends, that is why it is so valuable. So is it worth spending it on things that do not lead you to your goal, to your dream? Is it worth doing something that does not bring you joy and pleasure? Of course not! So live your life, make your dreams and plans come true, achieve your goals, go only your own way and no matter what others say to it. After all, this is your life and your time, and only you have the right to dispose of it! Appreciate time and seize the moment.

4. Feel.

As the great Voltaire said: "Thought is higher than words, and feeling is higher than thought." Indeed, we may not think, we may be silent, but we cannot but feel. Every minute, every moment of our life, we experience different feelings, sometimes incompatible and contradictory. We can unrequitedly love and vehemently hate, sincerely desire and at the same time not go to our goal, terribly afraid but at the same time bravely face our fear. These are just some of the feelings that a person can experience at the same time. We do not live by reason, not by thoughts, we live by feelings. Feelings are the foundation of our existence, and by and large we live in order to experience certain feelings. I want to tell you about one terrible experiment that scientists conducted. They put forward the theory that if a person is deprived of his senses, then he will comprehend God, he will hear him. An elderly volunteer was found who underwent several operations, as a result of which he lost the ability to feel. I do not want to list all the torment and suffering that this person experienced, they were just awful. Ultimately, after a short time, he lost his mind and died. You see how important our feelings are, we live by them, they are a source of vitality and energy. Without feelings, a person's life loses its meaning. Feelings are like paint on canvas, and canvas is your life itself. So paint brightly, do not skimp on paints. Let your life be a bright and beautiful painting, not black and white photography. Paint your life in all the colors of the rainbow, experience all the feelings you can experience. Enjoy life, love, laugh, have fun, cry if you want, live life to the fullest. Nobody dares to take your feelings away, nobody has the right to do so! In addition, feelings do not come by themselves, you can learn not only to control them, but also to cause them yourself whenever you want. With the help of memories, the creation of certain conditions, images, even with the help of thought. Close your eyes, remember your first kiss, in great detail. In what place it was, at what time, remember the look of your partner, go back to that moment and relive it again, remember this feeling when your heart stops and goosebumps run on your skin. Well, remember? Isn't it wonderful to relive what you once experienced? So remember more often the happy moments of your life and you will attract new, stronger feelings and emotions. Remember your victories, good luck, success. Relive these moments of your life over and over again and re-experience those feelings. This exercise can greatly help you in difficult moments of your life, pull you out of the cycle of negativity and despair, and become a breath of fresh air. I want to tell you the following - bathe in your feelings, live with your feelings, enjoy what you can feel, this is a great gift that a person has. Only feelings make us truly alive. So use this gift. Live!

5. Believe.

Faith is amazing. She helps out in the most difficult moment. Lord, how many terminally ill people were saved by faith, the belief that they will surely cope with their illness. And how many people have become rich simply by believing that they deserve it. Countless of those who believed in their destiny, in their star and achieved tremendous success. Faith is a lifeline for a person in distress in everyday circumstances. She inspires, she supports, she gives hope. Faith is the last thing we have left when we lose everything. But no matter what happens to us, we must continue to believe. Into what? Yes, in anything, in what gives you strength and energy. Believe in yourself, even when it seems to you that the whole world has collapsed, believe! Believe in higher powers, they will support you when it seems to you that everything is over, believe! Believe in love, it will give you strength and energy to move forward, no matter what, believe! Believe in your destiny, because you are special and deserve the best, believe me! I know how hard it can be. How you want to give up everything, how you lose heart and think that it will never be better. I lost friends and loved ones, went broke, lost a roof over my head and did not know how to live on. But I have always believed. I believed that tomorrow will definitely bring me good news, give me new opportunities, attract something into my life that will help me to get out and solve all my problems, I just believed. Every morning, every new day, I continued to walk forward leaning on my faith like a tired traveler leaning on his cane. No matter what happened, I continued to believe that I could get out of the swamp in which I was stuck. In the end, this is what happened. My faith saved me. Only thanks to her I did not give up, did not give up, I was able to overcome all adversity. So believe and you, give yourself the opportunity to believe in your future, to believe that everything will definitely change, the black streak will end, troubles and troubles will pass. Believe that you will certainly succeed and over time you will notice how the world around you will begin to change. You will have confidence, amazing things will begin to happen to you, luck itself will become your companion. Believe in miracles, they happen, they exist. But in order for miracles to happen, you need to believe in them. Faith is the spark that ignites the fire of miracles in your life. Your life itself is a miracle! You are a real miracle! So drop all your doubts, keep believing, whoever says anything, keep believing. Faith is amazing, inexplicable and magical. And you know what, you will definitely succeed, I believe in you!

6. Laugh.

One of the greats said: "Laughter is medicine for the soul." With a smile on my face, I subscribe to these words. Indeed, we can heal many mental wounds and drive away pain, longing and sadness with this truly magical medicine. There was a stage in my life that I don't like to remember. I lost almost everything I had: work, money, home, friends turned away from me and my beloved left. Yes, then I was not laughing. I will not dissemble, the unimaginable was happening in my soul and I just did not understand how I could continue to live? But you know, I remember once waking up, I suddenly had a desire to laugh in spite of all the misfortunes that happened in my life. I was so tired of suffering and worrying about what I had lost that I no longer had the strength to do it. It may have been a reaction in my psyche, but I just started laughing. I was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling and rolling in laughter. So a minute passed, two, five, ten minutes, and I still did not stop. I was so cool, so cool that I just forgot about everything that weighed down on me. I remembered what it means to laugh, I remembered this feeling. Throughout the day, I occasionally laughed, raising my spirits. It was a great day that I will never forget. Since that time, I have made it a rule to laugh, whether there is a reason or not. This has become my ritual, one of my favorite exercises. Laugh whenever I want, regardless of external circumstances, but to spite them. And it helps me. Helps to distract from daily worries, to feel emotional uplift, cheer up and gain strength. Try it too, my dear reader. Try to laugh at the most difficult moment of your life. Start laughing every morning for a few minutes and you will see how your energy will increase and each new day will bring you more and more reasons to rejoice. Laugh in spite of your adversity, laugh with or without reason, laugh. When you do not know what to do next, where to start, how to solve the problem that has arisen, first laugh at it and then it will become much smaller and you can easily find the right solution, believe me. If they tell you that you are crazy, laugh at these people. If you think this is stupid, well, laugh at yourself heartily, that's all. If you find it difficult to laugh just like that, then provoke laughter, watch comedies, funny videos, read jokes, make yourself laugh in any way. Laugh as often as possible and don't think about the circumstances, just laugh. Laughter is truly an amazing medicine that is always at your fingertips, so do not forget about it and use it, laugh heartily, to the fullest, just laugh.

7. Step away from skeptics.

Surely in your life there were people who were always skeptical about everything and questioned everything, literally destroying any idea in the bud. Perhaps these are the most terrible people who are ready for nothing, without any reason, to destroy your life, your business, your plans and dreams. They don't care what you say, what arguments you use in defense of your point of view, they are basically not interested in understanding your question, everything that they do criticizes. They always find excuses and reasons why you should not start implementing any idea, they do not believe that you can succeed and that you are able to achieve your goals. They see the world in a gray color, where there are no positive things, where only bad and negative things can happen in the future. They always expect only bad things. And they actually wait for this, attracting various troubles to themselves like a magnet. Surely while you are reading these lines, you remembered which of your friends fits this description. So, forget about these people. Do not communicate with them, do not listen to them, do not share your plans and dreams, because as soon as you do this, you will simply bury your bright future. These people are like a website infected with a virus, by visiting which you will certainly pick up a malicious program. It is the program that these people say and spread their pessimism. Unfortunately, there is no protection against this virus. As soon as you hear that someone begins to groundlessly express their doubts about you, run from this person, in the literal sense of the word. Take care of your dream, your plans, your thoughts, they are so intimate that they should only be fueled by positive energy. If you really tell anyone about them, then only those who will support you, cheer you up, give you hope and give you strength. Communicate with positive-minded people who are looking forward to tomorrow and expecting sunrise, not sunset. Who rejoices at the success of other people, who no matter what is ready to support in difficult times. Surround yourself with optimists and you will notice how much more strength, both moral and spiritual, you have added. Don't let the loser and pessimists ruin your life. They do not deserve your attention, all they need to do is make other people as unhappy and resentful of the whole world as they are. They will never appreciate your achievements and your victories. So is it necessary to surround yourself with these people, to let them into your world, into your life? Of course not, because we do not allow parasites into our home! Therefore, you should not waste your energy and time on them, it is better to spend them on yourself, on your goals, on your dreams and share them with people who are worthy of this. And yes, be optimistic!
