Happiness is an emotion which makes makes us feel positive and optimistic about our daily lives, we are content, joyful, think that life is good and everything is right with the world.

During our lifetime, we face many difficult times that lead to complications and setbacks, that makes it difficult for us to lead a happy life.

Over a period of time, we become hard hearted, think negative and feel that everybody is against us which makes us sad and angry and wanting to get back at the world.

When we stop being happy with what we have, it has a negative effect on both our mental and physical wellbeing, making us feel stressed all the time and speeding up the ageing process, as a result, we feel mentally tired and physically weak, because we refuse to accept reality.

We need to be happy be with who we are and not what people want us to be, you cannot become happy by meeting imaginary expectations of others, everyone is unique, with their own thinking, values, personality, needs and wants, others cannot decide what makes you happy, only you can decide what you want from life, what works best for you and keeps you happy.

The internet and social media are the first place we go to, when we want to learn more and stay updated about current events, unfortunately, there is a lot of fake news and incorrect data, we should not blindly trust what we read, there have been many instances, where people have done something that has tragic consequences, just because they saw or read something offensive on the internet and social media, it is not worth losing your happiness over an imaginary event.

It helps to follow a daily routine where you exercise both your mind and body to be in a happy state of mind, whenever you get the opportunity, you can improve your vocabulary by reading books or taking the stairs instead of the elevator and walking short distances whenever possible, to get some physical exercise.

Relationships are essential for being in a positive and happy state of mind, although most relationships have become virtual, if you want to remain happy, be careful when making friends both online and offline, sharing personal data online with people who you have never met can destroy your happiness and put you in a miserable situation.

Sometimes we blame ourselves for everything that goes wrong in our lives, we need to stay positive and avoid thinking negative thoughts, otherwise we will be unhappy and this makes it difficult to get through the day without making this worse than they already are.

We all experience stress in our daily lives, the importance thing is to identify the cause of stress and prevent it from disrupting what you do, try to focus on the positive aspects and avoid negative thoughts whenever possible.

To conclude, there are times when we feel sad and hopeless, it looks like we are fighting a lost cause, it is at times such as these, that we need to be strong, keep out the negativity and find something to do that helps us to stay happy and satisfied with our lives.
