How to be Happy

Happiness, for me, is being contented and completely satisfied with your life. It is the most cherished yet elusive of all human desires. We all have different definitions of happiness, btw. The key to finding happiness is appreciating what you have. How could something so natural as happiness be so hard to find? How could we achieve it? How to be happy?

Accept your flaws & imperfections. Nobody is perfect. If somebody is rude about your not-so-great qualities, don’t listen. Look at the mirror. You have freckles? Pimples? Flat nose? And so? Who cares? You should accept and love your flaws and imperfections for everyone to learn to accept the imperfect you.

Be confident. Be confident to who you are. Show everybody what you’ve got. Appreciate what makes you unique. Always remember that you were born original with unique features. Be proud!

Minimize your insecurities. Everyone is insecure about something. But don’t fill yourself with anxiety for no reason. Are you insecure because your hair is not straight? You’re skin color is dark? You have thick eyebrows? Darling, there’s no cure for insecurity, you just have to appreciate yourself.

Laugh as if there’s no tomorrow. Laughter is the best medicine, they said. You should always leave some room for laughter in your daily life. It will make you feel better & live longer.

Stay positive. Always look on the brigther side of things. Don’t let bad vibes ruin your day!

Let go of the past. Do not live in the past. What’s more important is the present. Make the past your guide to your new life!

Be grateful. Thank God for all the blessings He had showered upon you. Thank God you are still alive. Thank God for everything you have.

Never lose hope. Always hold on. There’s a rainbow always after the rain & there’s a light at the end of every tunnel. With hope, you know that whatever looks terrible is only temporary and that soon enough, things will be just fine.

Never problem a problem. Think of a solution instead. If you problem a problem, you will burn yourself in agony.

And lastly, choose to be the best you can be. Be the best and never compare yourself to others. Never try to be better than anyone else, but never stop trying to be the best you can be. Compare yourself with the earlier version of you and not with others. And don’t forget to smile more often. For every minute you don’t smile, you lose 60 seconds of your life. Be happy. Be yourself.

Happiness is a choice. Choose happiness! Have a happy Sunday :)
