5 Ways To Make Your Life Happier

We live our lives almost always wishing that it were better. We search for ways to be happy, not realizing that happiness stems from the things we do, and that the things that truly matter are not physical - they are found in our hearts.

Each day is a blessing, so it is prime that we make each day count. Don't waste your life doing things that are temporary and fleeting - spend it enjoying life, because you may never get another chance to relive some lost opportunities.

Here are a few ways to make your life happier and more fulfilling.

Be kinder to people. If you ever encounter someone today who did something unfavorable, don't lose your patience right away - you never know what that person is going or has gone through. Sometimes, you'll never fully realize the pain of others until you have experienced them yourself. Don't wait for the day when you are made to suffer the same fate, just to give you a lesson in kindness - extend understanding and compassion every opportunity you get. If something irks you, just walk away - it's the only sure way to avoid returning the rude or bad behavior. Take the high road always.

Be sincere with your relationships. Isn't it a wonderful feeling to give every relationship your all? If it does not work out, you are at peace with the fact that you tried your best, endured the bad, and accepted the unpleasant situations. Relationships take time and effort to flourish - they require a great deal of commitment and patience. Be sincere in your self-expression. Don't cheat, don't lie, don't be dishonest. Always leave nothing to be desired. Relationships that are based on sincerity turn out to be the most fulfilling ones - the ones that will help you see it through both the good and bad times in your life.

Challenge yourself and make yourself proud. All humans were given certain talents, strengths and weaknesses. These determine our ability to make the most out of the circumstances we were given. Don't use your weaknesses as reasons not to push yourself - instead, view them as challenges that will test your resourcefulness and determination. Dare to go beyond your limits - it's the only way to grow as an individual. There's an unexplainable feeling of elation once you know that you have stretched yourself, achieved more than you thought you could, then succeed in the end.

Be good to yourself. When was the last time you were kind to yourself? Stop blaming your own self for failures or events which were beyond your control. Thank yourself instead for seeing your way through the obstacles. And when you do succeed in achieving a goal - reward yourself. We often forget that the first person we must thank is our own selves. Can you confidently make peace and treat yourself as your own best friend? Remember, when everyone around you has turned their backs on you, you will find that the only person you can rely on is your own self - so be kinder, warmer, more thankful for hanging on even when you feel like letting go. When your happiness emanates from within, you tend to spread that happiness to others, too.

Spread love and goodness whenever you can. The world can always stand more kindness, goodness and compassion, so give it whenever you can. There is so much hatred, violence, apathy and conflict in the world, so instead of adding to the negativity, give the world a dose of love and kindness. Remember, all it takes is one candle to extinguish the pitch-black darkness. Make the world a better place by daring to be nice when faced with evil, patient when faced with hatred. Just because everyone else is sad means you also must be. True happiness is found within, and it is always your choice to spread it even to those who are resistant.

Our time in this world is limited, so don't waste it enveloped in loneliness and frustration. If the world does not bring you flowers, then plant them yourself. Happiness is a choice - and despite the opposition, being happy is still much more fulfilling than living your life in sorrow.
