“Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole
aim and end of human existence” – Aristotle.
Happiness is a skill you can learn and practice the rest of
your life. Whether you drive from
happiness, pursuit happiness, or simply grow happiness right under your feet,
you can draw from many sources to help you on your journey. Happiness Is
Healing – Happiness is the best way to put painful experiences behind us. Expect everything you do to be enjoyable and
then try to make everything you do fun, interesting and rewarding.
Happiness is like jam. You can't spread it around without
getting some on yourself~ Anonymous
A "sense of progress" or hitting milestones toward
a particular goal is something we (and leading positive psychology research)
consider one of the most important frameworks of long-term happiness.
Money doesn’t buy happiness; it only buys stuff. People
pursue money thinking that by having more stuff they become more. In reality,
having more never makes you more, but “takes” you more. Once you buy something,
it takes more money to use it, insure it, maintain it, clean it, move it, fix it,
store it, and eventually, sell it or spend money trying to get rid of it.
People don’t respect you for having “more.” They are envious and jealous. They may
even think that you got more by being dishonest. Some even want to see you lose
that “more” or take it away from you. You need to strive to “become” more - not
have more. People respect people who have contributed to the world in a
positive manner and who became more doing it. If service-to-others and
contribution to the world is what drives you, you find that not only do you
find happiness and gain respect in life, but monetary rewards fall into your
lap without you chasing them. The greed-driven desire to acquire more than you
need or deserve is a mental illness. Making every day the happiest day!

Try To Have A Good Time ALL of The Time. Learn how happiness works and start building happiness in
your life.
Many people want to
be happy but they expect happiness to magically descend on them, like a dove
from heaven. They don’t know how to
create happiness in their lives or for the people around them.
They don’t realize happiness is right there at their finger
tips, waiting for them to reach out and enjoy it.
If you don’t make happiness a personal priority, happiness
often only appears by accident or as an afterthought. Life is too short for that.
“To Be Happy or Happier, Aim For Happiness”. Make Happiness a Goal and Work To Achieve It.
