“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.”- Albert Einstein

You have the power to make yourself happy. Your happiness is in your own hands. You can make yourself happy by doing happy things, by thinking happy thoughts, and by taking happy actions. Don’t think negative thoughts. Happy people control their thoughts. If you want to be happy, control your thoughts.

Happiness is free. But happy people do the following things to keep their happiness healthy:

They don’t chase happiness. Happy people don’t run after happiness. They chase their lives. John Stuart Mill said, “Ask yourself whether you are happy and you cease to be happy.”

They accept themselves. Happiness starts with self acceptance. If you don’t accept yourself, you will not be happy. George Orwell said, “Happiness can exist only in acceptance.”

They know what they want. When we know what you want to achieve in life, we will do anything to make our dreams happen. John Dewey said, “To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.”

They control their lives. Happy people are the owners of their lives. They don’t let people write their stories for them; they write their stories themselves. Aristotle said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.”

They live in the moment. Happy people live in the moment. They don’t wait for people to make them happy. They make themselves happy by living in the moment. Jim Rohn said, “Happiness is not something you postpone for the future. It is something you design for the present.”

They make other people happy. You don’t look for happiness; you give happiness. If you want to be happy, help people find the happiness within them.

How To Bring Happiness Into The Present State Of Mind.

“If you look solely to the past, you neglect a present that could provide with more happiness memories.”– Philip Zimbardo & John Boyd

If you want to be really happen in your life, embrace nature. Nature is calm. Nature is nature. Nature is simple, but effective. Pay attention to what will make you happy. Do not do what will make you unhappy. Choose your thoughts carefully.

So many of us want to be happy, but we do not know what to do. We don’t know where to find happiness.

Know this: You can be happy if you choose to. It is your choice. To be truly happy, here is what Brian Tracy writes: “To be truly happy, you need a clear sense of direction. You need a commitment to something bigger and more important than yourself. You need to feel that your life stands for something, that you are somehow making a valuable contribution to your world.”

“To be truly happy,

you need a clear

sense of direction.

You need a commitment

to something bigger

and more important

than yourself.”-

If you want to be happy, live in the present, not in the past. It is okay to acknowledge the past, but do not live there. What you are looking for is happening right now. Focus on it. You will get it.

In The Time Paradox: The New Psychology of Time That Will Change Your Life, Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd write, “When you ignore the present and look primarily to the past or the future for happiness, you can miss the happiness that is right in front of you. If you look solely to the past, you neglect a present that could provide you with more happy memories. If you look solely to the future, you may be unable to enjoy happy events when they arrive. By always looking through the present to the next goal, you likely do not fully appreciate the present. When lost in the past or engrossed in the future, you cannot be present, and happiness rushes by like a gourmet meal eaten in the car on the way to a dentist appointment. Thoughts of the past and the future can bring you happiness, but they do so by bringing happiness in the present state of mind.”

“When you ignore

the present and look primarily to the past

or the future for

happiness, you can miss

the happiness

that is right in front of you.”-
