What Are The Keys To Happiness?

If we choose to focus on the negative in daily situations we will never be happy

. This makes being happy a choice. It also makes it a job because it will take work. We must choose to do several things if we are to be happy in life. You cant control the curves that life will throw your way so you must learn to roll with the flow. We must learn to have a short memory when it comes to bad things or wrongs which are done to us and the curve balls that life throws at us.

One thing that I have learned in life is that people who habitually use other people have learned not to have a conscience so it wont bother them when they pull whatever their scam is on you. If you find that you have been had dont worry about it because the person who pulled it wont be affected so why should you feel bad. Times like this are when you have to learn to have a short memory. If life throws you a bad turn dont worry about it. You cant change it anyway so theres no sense in being worried.

Learn how to smile when you talk to people. It is normally infectious. When you smile normal people will smile back. Try it and see. There are times when I have talked to people on the telephone and have literally felt their smile coming through the phone line. When I do so it always puts me in a better mood. I now try to apply this technique to my own phone conversations. I have learned that I can take charge of the situation just by being in a good mood and not letting the other persons bad mood affect me. One thing is certain. Either you will have an effect on them or they will have an effect on you. Whoever is more determined will win out.

Celebrate the minor things in life. If it rains think about how the rain nourishes the earth. If the weather is hot remember how sunlight is necessary to sustain life. When the pollen level is high remember how pollen causes flowers to grow. Always look for the good in every situation. I was once stationed in the Arabian Desert for an extended period of time. During that time I lived in a tent and couldnt even get my hands on a good glass of ice and water. When I finally did I really appreciated this small thing that most people take for granted. I still appreciate this small pleasure even to this day.

Learn also how to appreciate the good qualities in your loved ones rather than focusing on the bad. If one of your loved ones has a quality that irritates you they will probably always have that quality. So if you let it bother you then it will bother you for the rest of your life. Yet they wont be affected so whats the sense in you being bothered.

Move with a purpose rather than worry about a situation. When your situation is bad, work to correct it rather than worry about it. It is what it is. All that you can do is to try and deal with it. I once heard a famous bodybuilder make the comment that If it doesnt kill you it will make you strong. Dont let the situation kill you. Let it be a stepping stone to greater things.

Keep in mind that every day is a good day. Some are better than others. No matter what your situation you are better off than a whole lot of other people.

Learn how to help others and you will be surprised at the problems that some people have. You will also be surprised at how well other people bear up during trying times. Riceland Enterprises
