A wise man once said, “If you want to be happy, be.” Just be. Your happiness is your choice. You can make yourself happy with no conditions. You don’t have to wait for a special day before making your happy. You can make yourself happy now. Now is the right time to make yourself happy. If you don’t do it now, when will you do it?

Find ways to make yourself happy- you can read, walk, run, call friends (positive ones), or simply be with yourself. Sometimes being alone is better than being with someone who doesn’t care about you. If you want to make yourself happy, you must surround yourself with positive people.

Remember, you are not going to be happy every day. Because everything is not going to be going your way every day. Everything is not going to be going well for you everything. But don’t let it put you down. Don’t let it stop you from loving yourself. Whenever you are unhappy with yourself, bring positive thoughts into your mind. Think about positive things. To make yourself happy, you must focus your thoughts on positive things. You must focus your thoughts on loving things. If you do, you can make other happy.

I am making myself happy right now

“Don’t compromise yourself- you’re all you have.”- John Grisham

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius-and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”- Marilyn Monroe

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Can you please everyone? The answer is “NO.” Can you make everyone happy? The answer, again, is “NO.” Can you make yourself happy? The answer is a big “Yes!” How? By controlling what you focus on. You must control your mind. Because whatever you focus your mind on will grow. So do not focus on negative things. If you do, they will grow. Focus on positive things. If you catch yourself allowing negative thoughts into your mind, immediately replace them with positive thoughts. Is it easy? No. But you can do it. Try it and see what happens.

You cannot please everyone. Sometimes, it is possible. Other times, not so much. The problem is if you try to please everyone, you are putting yourself under pressure. You are designing yourself for a big disappointment. You are ignoring your needs and wants. We are human beings, right? We all have wants and needs, right? Don’t we?

The answer to your trying to satisfy everyone is to learn how to live a “balanced life.” So, what is a balanced life? Living a balanced life means your ability to take care of your needs and the needs of others without exhausting yourself to death.

When people ask you for help, if you can do it, say yes. If you can’t, say no. Don’t be scared to tell people how you feel. Your life is what we are talking about here. Take care of your inside before your outside. If you take proper care of your inside, your outside will take care of itself. Don’t please people to ruin your own life. You are important. They are important. Everyone is important. If they love you, they will understand your point. If they don’t, let them go.
