The 10 Ways To Be Happy

Dear Reader,

Do you know that 10 ways to be happy? It's a summarization of what I observed in the society.

First thing is to not compare yourself to others.

Why would you compare yourself to others? God created us unique and he wants us to live. You were born original, don't die a copy of another person. Just stop trying to be someone you're not just because society wants you to be one. It's your own life and just be yourself and the right people will come love you as you are.

Second thing is that money can't buy you happiness.

We all want to be rich. We all desire to someday buy a mansion, get a really nice sports car and buy everything expensive in the mall. But the truth is, that's only physical happiness. It blinds you to real happiness. Real happiness is free. Like friends, the rain, sleeping, laughter, talents, God and love.

Third thing is to love the right people and leave the wrong people behind.

"We accept the love we think we deserve." Which is a quote from The Perks of Being A Wallflower. Life is too short to love the wrong people. If someone wants you in their life, they will leave you a spot in their heart and not you fighting for a spot. When someone walks out of your life they are giving you the sign there is someone better to be in your life. So appreciate the ones who left you a spot in their hearts and give them a hug. And yes maybe you’re not good enough for everybody, but you’ll always be the best for the people who deserves you.

Fourth thing is to appreciate the little things.

You should learn to appreciate the small things. Because you just don't know if that small little thing will turn into a big thing that will hit your life like a truck. Life is interconnected and if you appreciate one thing, that's a display of love. Appreciate the little things like breakfast in bed, laughing so hard that your stomach hurts, lying in bed listening to the rain outside, midnight phone calls that last for hours, knowing that somebody misses you and lastly, falling in love.

Fifth thing is to stop worrying too much.

Worrying too much can cause you stress. It's okay to worry but if you worry too much, life with eat you alive. Ask yourself, "Would this matter when I grow old?"

Sixth thing is to the Man who saved us from our sins.

God is the ultimate source of happiness. With faith, you conquer anything. You will become fearless you know that God is with you. You will know love because God is love and you will have wisdom because the message of God gives you important lessons everyday. You should love God above all. And girls, your hearts should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him to find you.

Seventh thing is to stop holding the past.

Past is past. You should never hold unto it because it will never come back and always remember to start everyday with a new hope, leave bad memories behind and have faith for a better tomorrow.

Eight thing is to stop running from your problems.

It will never do good. Face them. I know it's not easy but God gives the toughest problems to His toughest soldiers. And yes it's hard to solve problems but  that's one thing great about life.


Ninth thing is to stop rejecting new relationships just because your old ones didn't work out.

It's his or her loss. I know you want to go back to the day you met that person and just walk away. Because for you honestly, it would've saved you so much hurt and pain. But that's life. It's the experiences makes us stronger and wiser. Do you think that if you met the right one you will care about your old relationships? And how can you meet that special person if you reject new relationships? You know,  life gives chance to everyone, we just have to wait for our turn and everyone makes mistakes. But that person's biggest one is losing you.


Lastly, it's out there.

It's for you to find out. It's out there somewhere. There are 7 billion people in the world with exactly 196 countries and 7 continents. It's for you to find it. Because the world is a never ending question of "what" and "if" and "who"... It's for you to find it because "Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are, it solely relies on what you think." - Buddha 

Love,
