1. They
make happiness a priority. When these happy people make decisions, they think
about their happiness as part of the decision.
2. Decide
to be happy. Too often, we choose to let stressful circumstances take away our
happiness. You have to make a decision that through every circumstance, you
will think positively.
3.
They
accept responsibility for their own happiness. Often, we tend to put our hope for happiness
on another person. If you haven’t gotten the memo yet, other people will let
you down sometimes. That is why you must realize that one person won’t make you
happy 100% of the time which brings us back to the last habit, it is your
responsibility to make a decision to be happy.
4. They
express gratitude. The happiest people are also the most gracious people. They
focus on all the blessings in their life and not the hardships. The happiest people
still have many hardships they must overcome; however, they choose to focus on
all the good in their life. A good habit to get into is to make a list of all
the blessings in your life and put it somewhere you can see it every day to
serve as a reminder that you have a lot to be thankful for.
5. They
forgive. The happiest people don’t hold
grudges but instead make a conscious effort to forgive. When you forgive other people, you aren’t
just doing it for them; you’re doing it for yourself. Holding a grudge will undoubtedly cause
unhappiness in your life.
6. They
disregard other peoples’ opinions of them. Chances are there will be someone,
somewhere who won’t have a high opinion of you. Ignore it. When you try to
start changing who you are to gain the high opinion of someone else, you will lose
your authenticity along with your happiness.
7. They
focus on today. They refuse to focus on the past that they can’t change and the
future that has yet to happen. Today
brings enough challenges on its’ own, don’t focus on things that can’t be
changed or planned.
8. They
give back. Happy people tend to be givers in the community. Givers realize their blessings and take joy
in giving back to others. There is a
different, special kind of happiness that comes to those who help others.
9. They
spend time with people. Happy people
enjoy making time for the people that mean the most to them and connecting with
new people. A common habit of the world’s
happiest people is to say hi to someone new every chance they get.
10. They
take action. The happiest people don’t just dwell on planning, they take action
swiftly. Action takers get things done
at work and at home which brings a sense of achievement. Feelings of
accomplishment will fuel your happiness.
