Life can be made happier

Life can be made happier and it is a matter of choice. It is our attitude that makes us feel happy or unhappy. It is true that you and i met all kinds of situations during the day, and some of them may not be conductive to happiness. We can choose to keep thinking about the unhappy events and we can choose to refuse to think about them, and relish the happy moments instead. Perhaps we constantly gone through various situations and circumstances, but we do not have to let them influence our reactions and feelings.

If we let outer events influence our moods then we might become their slaves, chances are we might lose our freedom just because we let our happiness to be determined by outer forces. On the other hand, we can free ourselves from outer influences. We can choose to be happy and we can do a lot to add happiness to our lives.

Well, happiness is a feeling of inner peace and satisfaction. It is usually experienced when there are no worries, fears or obsessing thoughts, and this usually happens when we do something we love to do or when we get, win, gain or achieve something that we value. It seems to be the outcome of positive events, but it actually comes from the inside, triggered by outer events. Sometimes we may begin the day with the desire to accomplish several objectives. At the end of the day we might feel frustrated and unhappy, because we haven't been able to do all of those things.

For most people happiness seems fleeting because they let changing outer circumstances affect it. One of the best ways to keep it, is by gaining inner peace through daily meditation. As the mind becomes more peaceful, it becomes easier to choose the happiness habit. Most importantly - SMILE more often.
