Happiness is a choice – part two

"Being alone does not mean you have to be lonely and unhappy,"

Nadia Buckus
• Playing the blame game. Blaming other people and situations for things that you are unhappy about. Nobody makes you feel unhappy. Take a lesson from every situation and interaction and use it to empower yourself.

• Avoid trying to control everyone and everything around you. This can become very tiring and stressful.

So what makes a person happy?

Be content whether you are in a relationship or not. Being alone does not mean you have to be lonely and unhappy. Just like being single is not a life sentence of being unhappy.

One can be happy being single or in a relationship.  Happiness comes from within. Having an attitude of gratitude.

Being grateful for what you already have increases happiness and actually helps you to be open too and appreciate it when you receive more.

• Mindfulness and meditation can increase happiness.

• Smile and the world smiles with you. Having a smile is contagious and as you smile, you will receive a smile in return.

• Spending time with your loved ones.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
