1. Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.

2. Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.

3. Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortune that befalls other people.

4. You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you.

5. Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself.

6. Do the things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt.
 
7. Never borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones.

8. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy. Avoid people who make you unhappy.

9. Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.

10. Don't hold postmortems. Don't spend your time brooding over sorrows or mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things.

11. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.

12. Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.

Do you see your glass as half empty or half full?
I have a positive attitude, in general, my perspective depends upon the situation I am in.
So I try to keep it half full as much as I can.

I have my own ways to live happily, only 3 tips, very easy one:

 
Smile

There should not be any reason for that, there could be a lot of problems round you, just take a break, donaˆ™t think about anything, just smile!

Be thankful

Everyday there is a lot of moments to be thankful for. Make it your new habit to notice those moments and be thankful.

Learn to forgive

Get rid of those offences, omissions and feel better about all people around you and about yourself.

 

Live long and happily!  

Best wishes!!

Weaˆ™ve all seen people who are always happy aˆ“ even amidst agonizing life trials. Iaˆ™m not saying happy people donaˆ™t feel grief, sorrow or sadness; they just donaˆ™t let it overtake their life. The following are 21 things happy people make a habit of doing:

1. Appreciate Life

Be thankful that you woke up alive each morning. Develop a childlike sense of wonder towards life. Focus on the beauty of every living thing. Make the most of each day. Donaˆ™t take anything for granted. Donaˆ™t sweat the small stuff.

2. Choose Friends Wisely

Surround yourself with happy, positive people who share your values and goals. Friends that have the same ethics as you will encourage you to achieve your dreams. They help you to feel good about yourself. They are there to lend a helping hand when needed.

3. Be Considerate

Accept others for who they are as well as where they are in life. Respect them for who they are. Touch them with a kind and generous spirit. Help when you are able, without trying to change the other person. Try to brighten the day of everyone you come into contact with.

4. Learn Continuously

Keep up to date with the latest news regarding your career and hobbies. Try new and daring things that has sparked your interest aˆ“ such as dancing, skiing, surfing or sky-diving.

5. Creative Problem Solving

Donaˆ™t wallow in self-pity. As soon as you face a challenge get busy finding a solution. Donaˆ™t let the set backs affect your mood, instead see each new obstacle you face as an opportunity to make a positive change. Learn to trust your gut instincts aˆ“ itaˆ™s almost always right.

6. Do What They Love

Some statistics show that 80% of people dislike their jobs! No wonder thereaˆ™s so many unhappy people running around. We spend a great deal of our life working. Choose a career that you enjoy aˆ“ the extra money of a job you detest isnaˆ™t worth it. Make time to enjoy your hobbies and pursue special interests.

7. Enjoy Life

Take the time to see the beauty around you. Thereaˆ™s more to life than work. Take time to smell the roses, watch a sunset or sunrise with a loved one, take a walk along the seashore, hike in the woods etc. Learn to live in the present moment and cherish it. Donaˆ™t live in the past or the future.

8. Laugh

Donaˆ™t take yourself aˆ“ or life to seriously. You can find humor in just about any situation. Laugh at yourself aˆ“ no oneaˆ™s perfect. When appropriate laugh and make light of the circumstances. (Naturally there are times that you should be serious as it would be improper to laugh.)

9. Forgive

Holding a grudge will hurt no one but you. Forgive others for your own peace of mind. When you make a mistake aˆ“ own up to it aˆ“ learn from it aˆ“ and FORGIVE yourself.

10. Gratitude

Develop an attitude of gratitude. Count your blessings; All of them aˆ“ even the things that seem trivial. Be grateful for your home, your work and most importantly your family and friends. Take the time to tell them that you are happy they are in your life.

11. Invest in Relationships

Always make sure your loved ones know you love them even in times of conflict. Nurture and grow your relationships with your family and friends by making the time to spend with them. Donaˆ™t break your promises to them. Be supportive.

12. Keep Their Word

Honesty is the best policy. Every action and decision you make should be based on honesty. Be honest with yourself and with your loved ones.

13. Meditate

Meditation gives your very active brain a rest. When itaˆ™s rested you will have more energy and function at a higher level. Types of meditation include yoga, hypnosis, relaxation tapes, affirmations, visualization or just sitting in complete silence. Find something you enjoy and make the time to practice daily.

14. Mind Their Own Business

Concentrate on creating your life the way you want it. Take care of you and your family. Donaˆ™t get overly concerned with what other people are doing or saying. Donaˆ™t get caught up with gossip or name calling. Donaˆ™t judge. Everyone has a right to live their own life the way they want to aˆ“ including you.

15. Optimism

< ="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" =text/> See the glass as half full. Find the positive side of any given situation. Itaˆ™s there aˆ“ even though it may be hard to find. Know that everything happens for a reason, even though you may never know what the reason is. Steer clear of negative thoughts. If a negative thought creeps in aˆ“ replace it with a positive thought.

16. Love Unconditionally

Accept others for who they are. You donaˆ™t put limitations on your love. Even though you may not always like the actions of your loved ones aˆ“ you continue to love them.

17. Persistence

Never give up. Face each new challenge with the attitude that it will bring you one step closer to your goal. You will never fail, as long as you never give up. Focus on what you want, learn the required skills, make a plan to succeed and take action. We are always happiest while pursuing something of value to us.

18. Be Proactive

Accept what can not be changed. Happy people donaˆ™t waste energy on circumstances beyond their control. Accept your limitations as a human being. Determine how you can take control by creating the outcome you desire aˆ“ rather than waiting to respond.

19. Self Care

Take care of your mind, body and health. Get regular medical check ups. Eat healthy and work out. Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of water. Exercise your mind by continually energizing it with interesting and exciting challenges.

20. Self Confidence

Donaˆ™t try to be someone that youaˆ™re not. After all no one likes a phony. Determine who you are in the inside aˆ“ your own personal likes and dislikes. Be confident in who you are. Do the best you can and donaˆ™t second guess yourself.

21. Take Responsibility

Happy people know and understand that they are 100% responsible for their life. They take responsibility for their moods, attitude, thoughts, feelings, actions and words. They are the first to admit when theyaˆ™ve made a mistake.

Begin today by taking responsibility for your happiness. Work on developing these habits as you own. The more you incorporate the above habits into your daily lifestyle aˆ“ the happier you will be.

Most of all: BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.
