So i listed few key roles to happiness which are:

• Contentment And Generosity.
• Physical Health And Resilience.
• Love.
• Forgiveness.
• Purpose In Life.
• Hope.
  My next on the list is:
• Physical Health And Resilience
  Chronic Ill Health Or Disability Can Have A Major Impact On A Person's Life: After becoming physically paralyzed, a once active and healthy man named Ulf said: '' I became deeply depressed, my strength, courage, and power drained away.... I felt destroyed.'' Ulf's experience reminds us that none of us have complete control over our health. Still, we can take reasonable measures to reduce the risk of ill health. But what if our deteriorates? does that doom us to unhappiness?. Not at all, let us see some principles that promote good health.

• Be Moderate In Habits: Habitually eating or drinking to excess is obviously bad for our health not to mention our finances. ''Do not be among those who drink too much wine, among those who gorge themselves on meat, for a drunkard and a glutton will come to poverty''.
• Do Not Pollute Your Body: ''Let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit.'' People defile their bodies when they chew or smoke tobacco or abuse alcohol or drugs. Smoking for example leads to disease and disability and harms nearly every organ of the body.
• View Your Body And Your Life As A Precious Gift: ''By God,we have life and move and exist''. Appreciating that fact moves us to avoid taking needless risks whether we are at work, driving, or choosing our recreation. A momentary thrill is not worth a life of disability.
• Control Negative Emotions: Your mind and body are closely linked. So try to avoid undue anxiety, unbridled anger, envy and other harmful emotions. ''Let go of anger and abandon rage, never be anxious about the next day for the next day will have its own anxieties.
• Try To Focus On Positive Thoughts: ''A calm heart gives life to the body, a joyful heart is good medicine. ''If you are happy said a doctor, you are likely in the future to have less in the way of physical illness than those who are unhappy''.
• Build Resilience:We may have no choice but to endure a persistent trial still, we can choose how we endure. Some become overwhelmed with discouragement which may only make matters worse. ''If you become discouraged in the day of distress, your strength will be meager''. Others, perhaps after initial feelings of despair bounce back. They adapt, they find ways to cope.
