       The unhappiest men are the most ungrateful. They could only see the things that were wrong with their life, choosing to concentrate on the things they wished they had and wished had happened but didn’t. Their whining corrupted their soul. 

Tips For a Happy Life

  • Gratitude

  •  Take stock of all the good things in life and thankful for 
  • Show Your Gratitude to Others
  •  We lack appreciating  the everyday occurrence in our every life

  • Be careful when you make comparisons

  •  It’s natural to compare ourselves with others, but not comparing with those who are better off. Serious illness, great pain or relentless hunger we have ; is no comparison to those who are  famished, illiterate, abused or homeless.

  • Be more conscious about the things we take for granted 

  • Be thankful to what we have because we are so used to them, losing them can make we remember how fortunate we were. Don’t wait until something’s gone before you are grateful – your sight, your health, your family – take some time to appreciate these wonderful things.

  • See the good in every situation 

  • Situations are rarely ‘all good’ or ‘all bad.’ In reality, our response to life that determines the experience we are in. Deriving benefits in awkward situation as it is foundation for growth.

  • Little things matter 

  • A dripping tap soon fills a bucket until it is overflowing. Appreciating the many small things in your day will lead to greater and greater levels of gratitude and happiness. When someone smiles, small complement, bus is on time, friend SMS message… these are all things to be thankful for.

According to a research from the University of Miami, people who practice some form of conscious gratitude:
  • exercised more regularly, were healthier, slept better and felt more optimistic.
  • made more progress towards personal goals
  • were more alert, enthusiastic and could handle stress more effectively 
So be mindful with what you got, 
have an attitude of gratitude. 
Gratitude never diminished but 
enhanced you in life.
