Achieving Happiness Isn't That Complicated

So many people think that achieving happiness is this hard to reach dream. They set goals, they go for promotions, they work like crazy in order to make more money, they do anything and everything society has taught them will give them happiness.

The problem is most of the things people go for when trying to increase their happiness is external. Reaching some goal or buying some product isn't going to give you happiness. It may give you a moment of excitement but as you already know, those moments don't last too long. If happiness came from getting stuff, then people who have more stuff should be happier. This isn't always the case. There are plenty of those who have lots of "stuff" but aren't happy.

The key to being happy is to realize it's just a feeling that you create in your mind and body. If you wanted to feel angry right now, could you pull it off? Sure you can! All you'd have to do is think of things that make you angry. Simple right? You don't even have to go out and start an argument with anyone. You just have to think of things that anger you and use your body like how you would use it when you're angry. Make the angry face, tighten your fists, tense up, start cussing, etc.

Like wise, you could feel happy in the same manner. Think about things that put a smile on your face and actually put a smile on your face. Move like you would move when you feel happy. If it helps, imagine having loss some of the things or people you now have in your life and suddenly having them back in your life again.

Happiness isn't complicated. It's simple. We humans just tend to make things more complicated than they need to be. If you want to feel happier, just think happier thoughts.

Here are some quotes about happiness to help you out.
