The Secrets of Happiness
Happiness is an attitude and a state of mind. It also refers to the amount of satisfaction one has in life. Happiness is an emotional state marked by feelings of joy, pleasure, contentment, and satisfaction.
Happiness, indeed, has nothing to do with material gains rather it is a habit and attitude to cherish the gift of life. Hence, we ought to train our minds and emotions to be satisfied and happy through thick and thin.
I have witnessed various examples of the elite class being dejected, depressed, complaining, and cherishing feelings of unhappiness. Besides, I have seen many rich polyester and water beds but cannot enjoy the taste of carefree sleep. And such examples can be multiplied.
How beautifully said by George Eliot, “It will not rain roses, if you want more roses you will have to plant more roses”.
Do not wait to be rich to be a happy person, nor condition your happiness with some materialistic goal because you cannot feel real happiness when you start stipulating things with your happiness, nor worldly gains can guarantee happiness and bliss of life.
Secrets of true happiness are as many as there are stars in the sky count them if thou art able to number them. I have enumerated some cardinal factors and secrets to being a happy person.
