Everyone wants to be happy, correct?
Let’s talk about happiness as many of us consider it the goal in our lives. We all seek a happy job, fulfilling relationships, and a work environment that brings us joy.
We pursue happiness even in our favourite hobbies, such as playing a sport, reading a book, or losing ourselves in entertainment.
I’m sure you agree that we all seek happiness in various aspects of our lives, right?
The trap of future happiness
Sometimes, we mistakenly tie our happiness to the future.
We think we’ll only be happy when we buy that dream car, treat ourselves to our favourite meal, or achieve a series of happy moments.
It’s a common belief that true happiness comes only after significant life achievements or experiences.
However, when we tie our happiness to future achievements, we’re pushing our happy state of mind further away.
It feels like happiness is always just around the corner, making it seem less attainable in different areas of our lives.
Think about it—how many times have you caught yourself saying, “I’ll be happy when I achieve a certain score in college,” or “I’ll be happy if I get that recognition at work”? We’ve all been there, attaching happiness to specific outcomes.
A powerful perspective shift
But let me share a powerful and different perspective with you.
What if we choose to be happy at present? This might pose a challenge, but it is absolutely attainable by adjusting your perspective.
Just imagine how your life would change if you could experience happiness anytime you want.
When we instantly change our mood to happiness, many great things happen within us and around us.
Our inner world transforms into a happy place.
Conversations with others become positive and uplifting.
Our behaviour fosters deeper connections with those around us.
We take actions that lead to success.
Our minds become clearer and more focused.
We become naturally more optimistic and see the bright side of things.
Our actions positively impact everyone, both at home and at work.
Productivity at work increases.
We naturally spread happiness to those around us.
Practical Steps to Find Happiness in Everyday Life
How to find happiness in everyday life?
So, how can we make happiness in our current state of mind?
Here’s a practical tip: Think of a few key moments in your life that brought you immense joy or motivation. Make a list of these powerful moments and keep it handy.
You can write them down or record them so you can access them anytime you wish.
Whenever you need a happiness boost or find yourself in a tough spot, read this list or listen to your own motivational words.
Allow the positive memories to serve as a reminder of the happiness that is within you.
This method may not be foolproof, but even if it works 70% of the time, it can significantly elevate your happiness levels.
