Great Ways To Be Happy

One of mankind’s biggest quest to find ways to be happy. It seems almost impossible for us to live a life where you are really happy. Everyday it seems we have so much against us, between the stress of our jobs, the high cost of living, gas prices, driving in traffic, and dealing with obnoxious people. I pray each day I will get to live a life of true happiness and I've come up with some methods that could help change your life for the better.

There Are Ways To Be Happy And You Can Start By Changing You

Sometimes the reason why we feel miserable is because of our own doing. You can be your own worst enemy. One of the best ways to be happy is to change our outlook on life with the way we look at things. I am reminded of a great movie called “Ferris Bueller’s Day off.” By the end of the movie, Ferris Bueller’s dad is driving home after work. As he drives, all of these annoying things happen to him. People are running in front of his car, an old lady is driving too slow, and he just stays cool as a cucumber (strange expression isn't ). He never let any of the nonsense bother him. For many of us, driving on the highways is a nightmare. You could drive off in your car and be in a good mood and then five minutes later you turn green and become The Incredible Hulk and then your entire day is ruined. Some people have been known to get angry enough to actually end a life. The most important thing that we should do before trying to find ways to be happy is to change the way we treat the bad things that come our way. We should always try to remember Ferris Bueller’s dad and then try to copy his behavior. The most important thing to keep in mind, is that much of the time the people who angered you on the highway, do not even know you’re angry. Therefore you are wasting your energy. You let some unknown and unseen person ruin your entire day and cause you misery that is unnecessary. If you are seeking ways to be happy then you must change yourself and your attitude.



The same can be said for the place you work. There may be many times where you’re working with people that drive you up the wall on a daily bases! They may be rude or obnoxious each and very day. These very people may destroy your entire day as well. After spending eight or more hours with them you are ready to sew their mouths shut with strands of their own hair! The best thing you could do is not to let ruin your day or even your mood. Do your best to ignore them or think of ways to avoid them. Try to be creative. Think about something really funny that they remind you of. For example if they look like poodle. Every time you see them think of this funny thing. I bet you never take them seriously again! Your happiness is way more important than what that person has to say or think. Surrounding yourself with miserable people will only make you miserable and believe me I know, I have been there myself so don’t let them hurt you in your search for ways to be happy .

Other Great Ways To Be Happy - A New Job Or Career

For a lot of us our jobs make us incredibly miserable. Many of us find a job in order to pay our bills but we hate the job with a passion. You may even find yourself in a job where you are belittled by the high ups daily. A bad job or career could be the number one reason why you are miserable and why you can not find peace and happiness. One of the best things you can do for yourself, your family, and your life is to change job or career. Try to find something that works for you, something that you like or will enjoy. Just finding a new job where they treat you better could be what you need. Another option is starting your own business. Build a company around something that you love. Another solution in your career change in order to find ways to be happy could be to work from home. Many times you can create a home business that only requires just a few hours a day for full time pay. This will not only reduce your stress but will grant you more free time to do the things that make you happy. The lack of money these days are making a lot of people miserable and it’s hard to find happiness.

I have written extensively on the subject of working from home and for yourself. I wrote a post where I weed through the scams and show you some real ways to earn income online. If you are thinking about changing your life by changing your job or career, read this first!

Create A List

One of the absolute best ways to be happy is to create a list. On this list write all of the things in life that you are passionate about and bring upon happiness. For example if you love to chill out by a river in the forest write that down. Don’t worry about age either. Who said your too old to enjoy the fun things in life? The hell with them! If you love to go sit on the porch on a lovely spring morning, write that down. If you like boats, write that down and figure out how to buy one. If there’s a certain place you love then write that down as well. Think of all of the things that make you happy and write down each and every one on your list. Once you have done this the next step is to actually live out your list and make it part of your life. Surround yourself with the things in life that make you happy and the things that you love. Your purpose should be to rid yourself of all of the things that make you miserable and are actually hurting you from being happy.
