I'm happy

Let us start with an example: You have lot of money and banks will be happy to give you loans because they are sure about your payment ability. On the other hand, if you go to a bank and tell them you have no money but you want a loan, you are more likely to be rejected.

Nature seems to work in the same way. When you say 'I'm happy, you are more likely to get more happiness. If you feel sad, you will also attract more of that. So the key is in maintaining I'm happy attitude all the time.

How to be happy with yourself

Here are a few suggestions to be happy with yourself:
  • Be yourself: Accept yourself as you are. If you think something is lacking in you, you can always work on that, but irrespective of that aspect, accept yourself completely. This helps in avoiding internal conflict in many situations. 
  • Simplify your life: Make things simple in your day to day life. Whether it is your dress or your household things or your vehicle, look at them as fulfilling the need first rather than competing with others. 
  • Have a positive attitude: The possibility of success or failure can be 50% in most cases. Why to think the empty side and feel sad? Be happy, put your best effort and go on.

Finding Happiness

Every one wants to be happy. But how and where do you find happiness?
We pursue all the good things in life and even after enjoying them, we realize that there is no absolute happiness. But we can find happiness inside us without depending upon external things.

This can be done through meditation or going inwards.
