Happiness is not the absence of problems, it’s the ability to deal with them. When you love what have, you have everything you need. It’s safe to say that the happier you are the more beautiful you become. Happiness is a choice. You just need to take a step towards it. Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must, but take the step. Saying yes to happiness means learning to say no to the things and people that stress you out.

Buying a new clothing or winning a memechallenge will make you happy for a short time, but it won’t last, so on today’s finding happiness series, we’d be looking at some of the secrets of achieving long term lifelong happiness:

Learn how to say “NO”

Learn the art of saying no. Don’t lie, don’t make excuses, and don’t over-explain yourself. Just simply decline. You have to learn to say no without feeling guilty. Setting boundaries is healthy. You need to learn to respect and take care of yourself. Being too nice may not gain you enemies, but it’ll surely gain you users and abusers. Don’t allow this to happen, learn to say no and turn away when you must. It’s only by saying “No” that you can concentrate on the things that are really important. When you do things that you love, you recharge your happiness batteries. This will make your life more fulfilled and help you become a happier person. Learn to say “No” to the good so you can say “Yes” to the best.

Don’t worry, be happy

Life is like a camera. Focus on what’s important, Capture the good times, Develop from the negatives, and if things don’t work out….Take another shot. The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything. Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but doesn’t get you anywhere.

Help others when you can

If you really want to receive joy and happiness, then serve others with all your heart. Lift their burden, and your own burden will be lighter. The best feeling of happiness is when you’re happy because you’ve made somebody else happy. We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone. Helping others is the way we help ourselves. Helping others is the secret sauce to a happy life.

Don’t forget the people that you love

In life you will realize there is a role for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you, some will love you, and some will teach you. But the ones who are truly important are the ones who bring out the best in you. They are the rare and amazing people who remind you why it’s worth it. Don’t forget to tell your favourite people that you love them. Happiness starts at home to don’t forget your family and friends. Having a soul mate is not always about love. You can find your soul mate in a friendship too.

Get some quiet time alone

Often the best gift you can give yourself is time alone. Some time to ask yourself questions and listen quietly for answers. Sometimes you need to be alone in order to find out who you really are and what you really want in life. If you don’t know how to be alone, you don’t know who you are.

Look on the bright side of life

Look at the bright side of life and choose to be happy. Yes, it is a matter of choice. When negative thoughts enter your mind, just refuse to look at them, substitute them with happy thoughts. You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside. No one ever got blind by looking on the bright side of life.

Set achievable goals

The most important thing about goals is having one. Set a goal that makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning. Goals, there’s no telling what you can do when you get inspired by them, there’s no telling what you can do when you believe in them. And there’s no telling what will happen when you act upon them. The only barriers in life are the ones we create in our minds.

Praise yourself along the way

Allow yourself to be proud of yourself and all the progress you’ve made especially the progress that no one else has seen. The most effective way to boost self-esteem is to praise yourself.

Pick your friends wisely

Choose your friends wisely. There are some who would push you to the top. There are others who would keep pushing you…over the cliff. You cannot change the people around you. But you can change the people that you choose to be around.

Be kind to yourself

You will never speak to anyone more than you speak to yourself in your head, be kind to yourself. Trust yourself, create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.
