What is the secret to happiness?

First to understand that it's not something out there. It truly does come from within. Understanding who you are in life, why you are here in the first place, and then helping others is a sure road toward inner peace - and happiness. I hope this helps you,

All the best,

Blessings,

Happiness comes from inside you. if you are waiting for someone or something to MAKE you happy - you'll have a long wait!

secret to happiness is that it is a choice we make, a choice we take. it doesn't just happen no matter what amazing circumstances surround our lives, it is a conscious choice. Everything required for happiness is already within us, it's how we live our life that determines if we embrace it.

Happiness is within you when you see something which is good to you you will be happy. If any thing happens good you feel happy. Happiness begins depending on the mood. So secret to happiness is being calm, patience, think before answer, speak 90% truth, do what you like most first. be happy .......

Be pleased with whatsoever you have got. If something after a relentless effort can not be achieved, dont think you've lost anything, but by this you have learned the things which might have not known before. If some beloved one is lost, assume that he/she must be in the best place under the shelter of God. Love everyone, love yourself and love God. True happiness lies in our mind which needs nothing but true love to illuminate its beauty in every way of our life.

Accept truth even it is against you.

Know Real God.

don't believe in rumours.

Follow your heart.

Live a healthy life.

Don't exploit others for your gain.

these are some secrets of good life.

Great Question!

I actually came across something the other day.

"There is more happiness in giving - than there is in receiving"

Knowing your life has value, meaning & purpose - is crucial I concluded.

You will not believe where I came across that phrase. Give you a clue. It is an old book. It is misrepresented & has more value than we realize!!!

My secret to joy was finding God within me. God is my secret! It took time, trials and maturing before I was able to discover God within me. Maintaining joy, is another story, I am able to maintain my joy by understanding that joy is a mental state of being and also by taking a firm stand not to let outside circumstances dictate my inner state of being

Read Dr Albert Ellis (Rational Emotive Therapy Behavior) and Martin Seligman (Positive Psychology). These schools of thought are actually based on scientific fact on what is happiness and how to achieve it.

Discovering who you are positive and loving what matters to you the most.
