How to Be Happy: 30 Ways to Find True Happiness
- True happiness doesn’t come from wealth or beauty or status or anything external, it comes from within.
- To find true happiness in life, you need to work on yourself and make a few adjustments to the way you live your life.
- These tweaks are actually pretty simple and if you do it right, you will attain the kind of genuine happiness most people spend their lives pursuing.
- Here are steps you can take to increase your joy of living and bring more happiness into your life.
Here are tips to find true happiness:
1. Be with others who make you smile.
- Studies show that we are happiest when we are around those who are also happy.
- Stick with those who are joyful and let it rub off on you.
2. Hold on to your values.
- What you find true, what you know is fair, and what you believe in are all values.
- Over time, the more you honor them, the better you will feel about yourself and those you love.
3. Know your worth.
- You know what you have to offer, so why settle for any less than you deserve?
- Always remember that no one will ever value you more than you value yourself.
4. Accept the good.
- Look at your life and take stock of what’s working, and don’t push away something just because it isn’t perfect.
- When good things happen, even the very little ones, let them in.
5. Imagine the best.
- Don’t be afraid to look at what you really want and see yourself getting it.
- Many people avoid this process because they don’t want to be disappointed if things don’t work out.
- The truth is that imagining getting what you want is a big part of achieving it.
6. Find purpose.
- Those who believe they are contributing to the well-being of humanity tend to feel better about their lives.
- Most people want to be part of something greater than they are, simply because it’s fulfilling.
7. Do what you love & love what you do.
- You know that old saying, “If you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life?”
- Either find something that you love to do or make it a point to make what you do be something you love.
- If you wake up every morning with the mindset that you are going to have a kick-ass day, you simply will have a kick-ass day.
8. Do things you love.
- Maybe you can’t skydive every day or take vacations every season, but as long as you get to do the things you love every once in a while, you will find greater happiness.
9. Listen to your heart.
- You are the only one who knows what fills you up.
- Your family and friends may think you’d be great at something that really doesn’t float your boat.
- It can be complicated following your bliss. Just be smart, and keep your day job for the time being.
10. Push yourself, not others.
- It’s easy to feel that someone else is responsible for your fulfillment, but the reality is that it is really your charge.
- Once you realize that, you have the power to get where you want to go.
- Stop blaming others or the world, and you’ll find your answers much sooner.
11. Be open to change.
- Even if it doesn’t feel good, change is the one thing you can count on.
- The change will happen, so make contingency plans and emotionally shore yourself up for the experience.
30+ Simple Ways to Find Happiness
12. Do something About That Which You Can Change.
- If you need to lose weight, hate your friends, are miserable at your job, do something about it!
- The surest way to feel good about yourself is to push yourself to go beyond what you thought you were capable of.
- Change isn’t easy, but you only live once and no one is going to live your life for you.
- It’s up to you to find the strength and motivation to take the steps to get what you want.
13. Bask in the simple pleasures.
- Those who love you, treasured memories, silly jokes, warm days, and starry nights—these are the ties that bind and the gifts that keep on giving.
14. Ignore the opinions of others.
- What others think of you should never outshine what you think of yourself.
15. Let go of anger.
- Holding a grudge or holding onto any type of anger won’t do anything but cause resentment.
- Dwelling on the past is only going to hold you back from having a better future.
- Hate is a very heavy bag to carry; let it go.
16. Live in the moment.
- I sometimes get lost in my thoughts and think way too far ahead.
- Doing that only causes me to get frustrated when/if things don’t go my way.
- Live for today, because tomorrow is never promised.
17. Pay it forward.
- Ever hear of the simple act of paying for the person behind you in line at the local coffee shop?
- Something as little as holding the door open for somebody or letting somebody cut in front of you in traffic can make you feel better about yourself.
18. Be honest.
- Always be honest with yourself.
- Figure out exactly what it is that you want and what you expect from yourself along with what you expect out of friendships and/or romantic relationships.
- If you know what you really want, you’ll achieve it more quickly.
19. Smile.
- Smiling is infectious; you can catch it like a cold.
- I was feeling pretty down today. While I was out on my lunch break, a stranger flashed me a huge smile.
- When I smiled back I realized I didn’t have much of a reason to be feeling down.
- That stranger’s smile turned my whole day around.
20. Don’t Rely On Other People to Make You Happy.
- Relying on other people to make you happy will leave you endlessly disappointed.
- The reason most people feel unhappy in their lives is they expect other people to give them things that they can only give themselves.
- Think about it- if you continually outsource the task of filling a void and finding happiness, you will never be fully satisfied, instead, you’ll be at the mercy of everyone you meet.
- Only you can control how happy you are and how you feel about yourself.
- Stop blaming people for “making” you feel a certain way.
- Put yourself in the driver’s seat and accept responsibility for your own happiness and your sense of self-worth.
21. Conquer the Green Monster.
- Jealousy is one of the most destructive qualities a person can possess.
- In life, you will inevitably come across people who are better looking, more successful, funnier, richer, etc., but who cares?
- I’m sure you have qualities that they’re lacking.
- No good can ever come from envying what someone else has, it will just make you bitter and jaded.
22. Be Genuinely Happy for Other People.
- This relates to not being jealous.
- If someone you know comes upon some good fortune- an amazing job, an incredible guy, a huge raise–be happy for them.
- They didn’t take anything away from you, and they probably struggled just like most people do on the quest to get what they want.
- If you put in the work, you’ll reap the same reward eventually.
- Remember, blowing out someone else’s candle will not make yours burn brighter.
23. Be Nice to People.
- Do you know who’s mean?
- Unhappy people, that’s who.
- Happy people feel good about themselves and life and want to make other people feel good as well.
- Doing acts of kindness actually causes a chemical reaction that makes you feel really good.
- You can do little things, like smiling at strangers or giving up your seat on the subway for an old lady, or big things like volunteer work.
- For extra credit, try not to talk negatively behind someone’s back or gossip.
- While it may seem fun, no one ever really feels good about bashing someone else.

24. Express Gratitude.
- Many of us could be a lot happier if we practiced gratitude for what we already have rather than focusing all our attention on what we don’t have.
- Be Grateful.
- There’s a saying that goes: Happiness isn’t having what you want, but wanting what you have.
- Most of us are trained to look at what’s wrong in our lives, rather than what’s right.
- We yearn for a better job, a better relationship, better friends, a better body we hone right on what’s missing and overlook what’s right there in front of us.
- Try to change your filter system and instead zoom in on things to be grateful for.

- Instead, focus on what you have and on how you can develop these qualities to reach your full potential.

- When you hold grudges, you’re only hurting yourself.
- You’re allowing negativity to course through you and you’re keeping yourself stuck in a painful past.
- Forgive the people who have wronged you and just let it go.
- Maybe you think they don’t deserve forgiveness.

- Happy people take care of themselves.
- And the more you take care of yourself, the more happiness you’ll experience.
- It’s a wonderful cycle to get caught up in.
- Make time for exercise, make an effort to eat healthily, take pride in your appearance.
- Exercise and healthy eating will noticeably change the way you feel about yourself and will give you an inner glow that radiates outward.
30. Watch the Company You Keep.
- Oprah once said “Surround yourself only with people who will lift you higher” and this is a mantra I hold by.
- The people in your life will inevitably have an impact on you.
- When it comes to friends, quality is always better than quantity.
- Weed out the negative people in your life who drag you down and spend more time with positive, optimistic people who see the good in you and encourage you to be your best self.
Happiness and fulfillment are within your grasp, but sometimes just out of reach. Understanding what works best for you is the first step in finding them more often.
