Do you have a friend or family member who looks always happy?
While you're working with grumbling, repeating the same routine, or often upset because they do not meet the expectations of society, they enjoy their life. Although they have actually not necessarily a career, a family, or better luck than you.
What are their secrets to always be happy? Reporting from lifehack.org, Saturday (28/03/2015), here's what you can from their example:
1. They always give
We could argue that money is the basis of survival. This is true, but for those who are upper middle class, once the money already meet your basic needs, there are two ways to utilize the excess. One to improve the social status and the other gives. Although they may not have much money, they are happy have a way to give a positive contribution to the world.
2. They avoid drama
Try to admit, today, whom you gossiping and sneered behind because of their weight increases or style of dress they are unusual? This happens because you are not satisfied themselves and find an outlet to feel myself better. Now consider a friend or family member that you are always happy. They certainly rarely gossiping or fuss with others. People who happily choose to think of their own affairs, and only focus on the things they can control. The key, focus on your life, do not care about other people's words, and let people live their own way.
3. They are grateful
Cliche but true. Although they do not say "Thank God" constantly in social media, they are grateful for the achievement, appearance, possessions, and those around them. Dreaming is good, but if you always dreamed of having another person's life, you will never be satisfied with life.
4. They take lessons in any event
When overridden trials, they were happy to be faster rise. Constantly regretting failures and imagine the worst case scenario is not a good attitude. The world is not fair, but to have faith in yourself, you will quickly rise again no matter what.
5. They appreciate the relationship
Perhaps you push yourself to pursue a career and work for hours. This would not be a problem if you really love your job, but what if not? Is it worth leaving loved ones for the sake of a job? At the end of the day, you will feel not want to talk about your work. Prioritize relationships with other people than work is the key to achieving happiness. After all, why should rush in pursuit of the target career?
6. They are grateful for the various aspects of their lives
Do you feel annoyed every day considering your relationship and are no longer romantic lover? Are you jealous of your friends who enjoy their work while you do not? Why not think about what makes you always happy? Whether it's your hobby, friends that you meet from group cooking in social media, or what you've learned in the past week. People who are happy do not allow themselves to continue to lament the fate of the time they do not 'succeed' in one aspect of life. Back to points 3 and 4. Always be thankful and to take lessons is the key to their protracted self-pity.
7. They do not focus on the material
Shopping is known as 'therapy' to relieve stress. Creating satisfied may be true, but unforgettable experience will make you happy every time remember. Even so, it remains the definition of "fun experience" is different from one person to another.
8. They follow their passion
When they realized their work makes unhappy, they are not afraid intuk leave and pursue what they are really like. Although there is a potential risk and fail, they are not discouraged.
Hopefully you can also be a happy person. Because the real, positive energy is contagious and we would prefer they were not always grumbling and complaining.
