I bet when people read this hub you were thinking it was about the movie  the pursuit of happiness" it's a great movie but I'm not writing about that, I'm writing about something that everyone has had and lost at one time or another or if you still have then that's fantastic. I'm talking about is happiness and in today's world with all its doom and gloom happiness can be hard to find but its important to be happy and enjoy your life you have look at the good things you have in your life not the negative you can easily get caught up in all the negative energy and it can lead to your down fall. I know that you can't be be happy every second of your entire life but everything happens for a reason we have to believe in that as humans we learn from our mistakes and errors we have to. Some lessons can be very harsh too but we must pick ourselves up from the floor, dust off and move on, its the only way. You decide what makes you happy if you can write down the things that you enjoy and makes you feel good at the sametime, it could be as simple as calling an old friend on the phone or walking the dog or taking the family to the park or movies its totally up to you I have made up a list below that can your enhance your happiness ideas, the thing is happiness doesn't need to cost a lot of money and in today's world we are all trying to save our pennies.

If people see you are happy that tends to rub of onto them it can be very contagious that's a good thing who wants to be around grumpy moody people I know I don't. Also people think that if your rich or wealthy or even famous that you are always happy but that's not always the case, sure money might help a little bit but happiness can come from within ourselves and the way we change our lives for the better in even RAK (random act of kindness ) can make you and the person you are helping feel good even big hugs or cuddles can make a difference to people lives the human spirit can be so uplifting in times of need we have seen this in my own country with the Victorian fires and the Queensland flooding so much heartache and despair and tragedy with so many people losing lives and homes yet as humans we have all chipped in with support, donations and encouragement to show the victims of these disasters that they are not alone. To see a young child play cricket or foot ball or sing song with there family that makes them happy in the face of despair is a feeling that makes me happy for them. So I hope this hub has given you encouragement to find your true happiness in your life .
