be happy all the time.

Have you ever met
anyone who does not want happiness?We all desire various things
depending on our tastes and needs,bot one thing we all crave for is
happiness.It is a ceaseless quest.

It is easy to be happy .Most
will dispute these six words.The secret is that  it is we who
decide whether to be happy or not.We choose happiness .We make it
happen.

We waste alot of time searching for happiness when it is
actually all around us.It is just that we choose to ignore it;or that we
have taken many things for granted.How may of us,for instance ,think of
how blessed we are to have steady jobs as we travel to our workplaces?Do
we ever think of the thousands of others who are equally talented who do
not get the opportunity to prove themselves ?When we value what we have,
we experience happiness .

It is very important to count our
blessings .Every day . But since we have it ,we do not even notice it
.How many of us thank ourselves for having normal children?But unless we
have a handicapped child ,we do not realise that it's a blessing.We must
consciously appreciate what we have.

It is equally vital to
figure out what is it that makes us unhappy. Is it relationships,anger,
health,work ,or greed for material things? Once we identify the demon,we
can work on it and eliminate.

One major thorn that creates
unhappiness is greed. There's just no end to it. Instead of valuing what
we have,we yearn for more.Then we fall into a dark bottomless pit and
keep falling for the rest of our lives.

Sharing introduces you to
happiness .It is inexplicable joy.Sharing pain even reduces it's
intensity .That's why ,when grief is shared ,one feels so unburdened .If
you are free, volunteer for some social work .Doing something that helps
others always brings happiness .Reach out to people, Good healthy
relationships nurture you from within . Happiness is contagious .See how
you and your sense of joy magnetise people around you .

Try to live according to your design. When we live according to the dictates of
others,corrosion in the heart starts .To draw your game plan of life,you
need to have a healthy sense of self esteem .Only then can others
respect you .You can give up your ego only if you have a healthy one
.Accept yourself with all your faults.Listen to your inner
voice.

To change your sense of happiness, it may be a good idea
to change your expectations .Be realistic .It is good to want to touch
the stars, but goals must be achievable.

Be engrossed in what you
do .Work is a guaranteed path to happiness. But you got to love what you
do .Those who enjoy their work are happier souls as they are having fun
.Research has shown that happy people are healthier and fall ill much
lesser than those who are unhappy and wait for a lottery. Wealth does
not guarantee happiness. But the way you live and think does.
