You can be Happy Again (Part 1)

We are living in a world full of bitter people.You see them smiling yet they are hurting deep inside.They are bruised and somewhat broken.

At some point we were happy and when that happiness went away only then did did we come to realize it’s true value.We then seriously longed for it.
We asked ourselves where did that happiness we once had go?When did it happen and how did it happen?
I remember when I was a child I used to be really happy and somehow carefree.Most of the memories, I cannot recall but all I know is I was so happy and that kind of happiness faded as I grew and there was a point in time I wondered how it all happened.
I’m sure most people can relate with my situation and still long for that kind of happiness.

Do you want to be happy again?
Well I bet you do and here are some steps you can take if you want that happiness you once had to be restored.Been taking them lately and I have realized I have become a completely changed person.My life is slowly being transformed for the better and I am really happy.

What you should know…

Happiness is something which is neither attained by money or riches.Even the rich and most successful people are still searching for happiness.Yes you can buy comfort with money and even attain great power with it but never happiness.

The 1st step you would want to take if you want to restore your happiness is:

1)To love yourself
Some people are against the idea of loving themselves because they think it’s centered on selfishness.To me loving yourself means appreciating who you are and knowing your self worth.Self love means you are fully aware of things you cannot change about yourself and accepting them and also realizing what you can change about yourself and doing all you can to change it.When you love yourself you treat yourself better.You respect yourself, appreciate yourself and protect yourself.Once you master the art of loving yourself, your life will never be the same again!

2)Being content
Did you know that the reason why most people are unhappy today is because they lack contentment.They look at the few things they have and resort to complaining.Have you ever asked yourself how better a person you would be if you gave up complaining and appreciated the gifts God gave to you?
I used to be a great complainer, was never satisfied at all and always longed to have more but I realized later on that there are a lot of people out there who do not even have half of the things I have yet they never complain.They are content and yes they are happy.Well you might not understand it now but once you learn to be satisfied with what you have you will have no reason to be sad and complain about that which you do not have.Count your blessings and learn to appreciate them. Contentment is a pathway to happiness.

I end here today, and I assure you that these two steps above are baby steps you can choose to take each day to work on restoring your happiness.
