Can People Always Be Truly Happy, What Can You Do To Be Happy?

Growing up I thought being happy simply means having everything working so well for you. Like having great boyfriend or girlfriend, great husband or wife, super fine house, super fine car, good and well paying jobs, kids, etcetera. But I realize these things are just natural things that people or anybody can have and owned. Having them doesn’t really mean you will always be happy.

We can be happy, but can we always be happy? No! because no one can always be truly happy, But can we be at peace? Yes! we can. Happiness can come when we are at peace with our self. There is ups and down in life, life itself is not balance, there will always be bad as well as better days. We just have to keep living and trying to create happiness around whatever circumstances we find our self.

However, if you want to be happy you need to be at peace with yourself. There are things you can do and avoid to ensure that you are happy. I have put below six important points which you can help you be at peace and happy with yourself.

1.       Do Not Compare Yourself To Others

Like the people always says ‘comparison is the thief of joy’. Comparing yourself to others will generally make you feel bad and wish that the other person's life is yours. There is nothing like feeling happy about one's self. Whenever other people's life is making you feel unhappy about yourself, then, the feelings of worthlessness sets in and you will begin to question your existence, which can lead you into depression and depression which can lead to suicide and even death. All fingers are not equal, do not compare your life to others. Everyone is unique and awesome in their own way.

2.       Be Yourself 

It is always better to be who we are rather than who we are not. Have you ever find yourself in situation where you are in a tight corner after doing things you are not meant to do? It can also happen to you when you try to be whom you are not meant to be and ends up in trouble. Most times being who you are not meant to be put you in trouble which can leads to regrets and unhappiness. To be happy, you need to be yourself always

3.       Love who you are

Love is one of the greatest things in life. How can you love someone else when you find it difficult to love your own self. No one can be happy with one's self unless you love yourself. If you love yourself, you will be happy with your own self. If you have not been in love with yourself,  I suggest, it is right time for you to do so.

4.       Avoid Things That Makes You Sad or Bring You Down

I love dressing up a lot  but whenever I dress up and feel bad and uncomfortable about myself, i'll change it and put on several ones until i am satisfied and happy with whatever I am wearing. I do not do this because I have many clothes nor am I so rich, but because I want to feel good and happy about myself with whatever i am putting on. It is one of the most important thing for me, as long as I am happy with what i am wearing, then I am totally fine. 

If you are not happy with anything about yourself and feel like changing just a few things it is totally fine, in as much as it makes you feel good and you are not hurting anyone then do it. It is not a crime to try few things until you find the right one for you. Happiness is very important in everybody's life

5.       Do Not Entertain Negativity

Negativity and bad energy kills good vibes. Do not give in, bad energy and negativity  can destroys ones happiness and the ability to be happy. Positivism is always a great companion. Be positive and be happy. 

Do Good

This is the last but not the least, happiness is important as much as doing good is also important. if you want to be at peace, you ought to do good always. A peaceful life is a happy life. Like the saying goes " the good you do comes back to you and the bad you do also comes back to you". No one is ever happy with a bad thing, everyone is always happy with good things. It pays to be good and it's never a crime to also do good.

Always remember, do not compare yourself to others, be yourself, love who you are, avoid things that makes you sad, do not entertain negativity and always do good.
