How to find happiness

When I first heard this question I felt that there was something wrong about it.

It felt as if the question was modified to reflect the beliefs of the one who is asking it.

The person asking this question believes for some reason that happiness lies somewhere in a treasure box that needs to be found while in fact this belief has nothing to do with reality.

The right way to ask the question is to say "how to be happy" and not "how to find happiness".

What makes a person happy?

Happiness is combination of both the elimination of bad moods and the achievement of what the person wants in life.

If everything in your life was going well but you had a very stressful job that you do everyday then you will simply never find happiness.

If your life had no stress or bad emotions but you felt that you are a failure because you didn't manage to reach certain goals then you will never find happiness too.

 Real happiness can be found when you get rid of bad moods and work on achieving your goals.

So happiness is not found, its earned

While the previous advice was written in a single line still this doesn't mean that it can be done overnight or even in few weeks.

In order to be happy you need to educate yourself about the bad emotions you are suffering from and Learn about the ways that can help you get rid of them.

In addition, you need to set goals that would help you live the life you want, fight for these goals, be persistent enough to keep going and face setbacks without experiencing any disappointment.

So after all happiness can't be found, it can be earned after you defeat your enemies which are your unmet goals and bad moods.

Why aren't most people happy?

Because they want a shortcut that saves them the hard work

They want to repeat affirmations and wake up feeling happy the next day

They want to think about the law of attraction one night and wake up to find their goals achieved the next day

Most people are unhappy because they want to find happiness instantly

Most people are unhappy because they don't want to fight in order to earn happiness

If you really want to be happy then you must understand that happiness is not found but it is earned.
