Living a happy life is serving and giving to others without thought of repayment, finding peace in your circumstances whatever they may be. It is learning to be content with what you have. Things will not make you happy, authentic and true relationships will. Learning what gives you peace and cultivating it. Stop pretending and be who you were meant to be. Don't worry about what others may think. Be yourself.

Practice forgiveness. Forgive those that have hurt you, then forgive yourself.
