Today’s Question: How do I be happy?

Aah, the age-old question. I can’t even remember how many times I have asked myself this question. As someone who has always been a pessimist, finding happiness was a real challenge.

• But one night at 1 am, I went to my balcony while it was raining. Then it struck me that the most beautiful things in life are free. As long as you remember that, you know in your heart that no matter how hard life gets. You will always have certain experiences and certain people in your life rooting for you. That feeling of comfort is happiness.

• The book “4 hour work week” says, don’t chase happiness rather chase excitement. Make sure your days are exciting and that will automatically lead you to happiness. Exciting experiences don’t have to be costly or dangerous. You need to just remind yourself of the reason why you are alive.

• Another thing that helps a lot is making your life a tiny bit better every day. Knowing that you are working on yourself will make you happy. Gratitude and happiness go hand in hand. A key thing that most people don’t talk about is the happiness of giving back. You don’t need to give back Money, you can give back smiles to people, or empathy or kindness. Giving back will always lead to a more fulfilling and happier path.

Hope these tips help. Happiness is a choice and you can choose to be happy right now if you try. Don’t wait to be happy in the future because life is too short to wait for your own happiness.
