Happiness is a choice. It comes with accepting the present state of your life and also depends on you and the decisions you make.
Most people become bitter each day because they are looking for happiness in the wrong places rather than igniting it from within themselves.
These places where you shouldn't look for your happiness are;
1. Material possessions
You have been addicted to purchasing material items with the thoughts that you will be happy. The feeling of excitement by getting these items fades immediately and you will be left with the feeling of hopelessness. Invest in building strong relationships with your friends as well as your dreams to remain happy.
2. Other people
Being happy means developing a healthy relationship with yourself and then sharing out with your friends. It is important not to look for happiness from others since in case they leave, the happiness leaves too, leaving you sad.
3. Your wallet
You could be unhappy since you constantly look into your wallet. Money only comes with more stress, more taxes to pay and also insecurities. Only the small things matter most in life and happy people take life as it is. Appreciate the little you have and the peace that comes with it.
4. Your next job
You probably wish to leave your job at the moment with the hope that you will be happy with your next job. It is important you note that there is no perfect job and your next job could be more stressful than the job you have a the moment. Love your job and be happy for it.
