How to Live the Life of Happiness

It is the goal of every human to live happily. In actuality it is more than a goal, it is the reason we exist; to be happy. Without happiness life is not worth much, without hope of happiness life is not worth living.

So what is it that can start you on the road to happiness? What do you need to do to start being happy? Find out your needs, and fulfill them. Sounds simple enough, yet so many people just can't seem to do it. Satisfy your needs, and happiness will follow.

Unmet needs can keep you from living authentically. Take care of yourself. You need to eat good food; fruit and vegetables are basics that should be consumed with fervor. You need exercise; a walk in the park, a bike ride, jogging, or a full workout routine, something to burn off the bad stuff that accumulates in our bodies.

You need human contact; someone to talk to, to do things with or for, a person to be a friend to. Meeting your needs is just the beginning of happiness. List your top four needs and get them met before it's too late!

What else do you need to become happy? You also need a dream. What is it that you want to accomplish in this lifetime? Does working a job that barely pays the bills, and watching TV all your spare time seem like a good life to you? Probably not or you would not have found this lesson.

So what is involved in this dream? Do you have a need to be acknowledged, to be right, to be in control, to be loved? What is it that would both meet a need and go a step beyond to meet a desire? There are so many people who lived their lives without realizing their dreams and most of them end up being stressed or even depressed for that matter. Are you next? Depression, or happiness, it is up to you to make your own life. Happiness comes from inside you and is not given or taken from others.

Discover what you desire from life: Know your passions. You know who you are and what you truly enjoy in life. Obstacles like doubt and lack of enthusiasm will only hinder you, but will not derail your chance to become the person you ought to be. Express yourself and honor the people who have inspired you. Always endeavor to become the very best person you can be. You can't be someone else as they are already taken, but you can be the best the ever was, if you try.

Even if you hate your job, do your best. You do not have to compete with your co-workers; you only have to compete with your self. Be a little bit faster every day, a little bit more efficient. Be a little better than you were the day before. Soon you will be the best there is, do not worry if others do not notice right away, you know what you have done, so you can be proud of that accomplishment.

Take action, do something every day that brings you closer to your dream life. Set some goals and work towards them. If you are not used to having goals start small; for example set a goal to get all the laundry done in one day. Once you have done that; take a moment to realize that you set a goal and then accomplished it.

Train yourself to set and accomplish goals. When you get good at the small stuff; move on to another goal that is bigger. Continue to grow in this way until you have the ability to accomplish anything you set your mind to.

Following the simple concepts you have learned today; will lead you to having and enjoying a happy life. When you can see what is real and what is not you will be well on your way.

Take care of yourself and do not expect or rely on others to do it for you. Stay true to your self, and always be honest with your self. ( By Ralston Heath )
