What Causes Happiness?
There Really is No Mystery to It.
Do you know what causes happiness?
Surely, you can come up with a list of things that make people happy.
I must confess. When I was going through a rough patch, I could spot a happy person a mile away. Happy people are pretty obvious.
One, they seem to smile a lot.
Two, they're so nice.
And three, they're very relaxed. Sometimes, they even have a glow about them.
You know they're happy people. And I hated them. Well, not really. I just wanted to be like them. A happy person, too.
So I asked myself, what is it about them?
What causes happiness?
When I was down in the dumps, you know what I did? I went shopping. I ran up a credit card bill for what I thought were things that make people happy.
What Are You Doing?
Is it time to step back and
take a good look at your life?
I also went out more. Sought the company of friends and loved ones. And for a while, they cheered me up. But when they were gone or had something else to do, I went back to being miserable.
Looking back now, I feel a little ashamed. I must have been difficult to live with. The problem was I was turning to everyone and everything else to make me happy. All except me.
I was the one person I could have turned to. Why not? I was the person I saw when I woke up every morning and the last before I went to bed every night. But it didn't even cross my mind.
I suppose, it was because I didn't like what I saw. I couldn't help but turn away.
Do you like what
you see in the mirror?

how to change it into a
Winner's Image.
It was only when I took a long, hard look at myself that things started to change. It's true what they say--what causes happiness in a person is himself. I can't resist sharing these happy sayings.
So what causes happiness? I stood in front of the mirror, stared deep into my eyes, and asked myself the following questions.
Forget About Luck.
What happens in our lives
doesn't come through luck
but from our choices.
1. Do I love myself? A happy person accepts himself unconditionally. He doesn't try to be who he's not. These happy sayings explain it better.
2. Do I care for other people? A happy person is kind, generous and compassionate.
3. Do I have a purpose and a passion in life? A happy person makes use of his talents. I find these truly motivational phrases.
Determine your Purpose
and start setting goals to truly
create the life of your dreams.
4. Do I feel grateful for my life and everything I have? A happy person doesn't take things for granted.
5. Can I try to have a positive attitude? A happy person tries to see the good in everything, even if it's not so obvious to begin with.
6. Do I believe in having hope? A happy person has faith that all things will turn out for the best. These motivational phrases are uplifting.
Simple enough questions, but I didn't have quick answers. Still, I kept on asking them. Then one day, I realized that the answer to all of them was "yes." After much soul searching, I discovered that deep down underneath my unhappy circumstances were the makings of a truly happy person.
So what causes happiness?
The answer is "you." I urge you to look in the mirror, stare into your eyes and ask yourself these questions. I bet you already are.
Stop waiting for something else
to make you happy.
You are the Creator of your life.
