The Secret of Happiness
The secret of happiness lies in your decision to be happy. Happiness is missing in you if you fill your mind and heart
with weary and dreary thoughts. You disturb your state of mind with doubts and set preconditions for attaining a level
of happiness.
If you are able to meet your conditions, you are happy. If not, you may be unhappy and depressed. Hence, you decide
about functioning of your brain and set preconditions for your feelings of joy or happiness. However, the irony is that
once you meet the said conditions, you decide on another set of conditions. This goes on and so, happiness evades
you or, rather, you do not allow happiness to come near you.

The secret of happiness lies in your continuous decision to remain happy, whatever be the
circumstances. You should enjoy your journey to reach your set goals.
Some people tend to stress over the activities and behavior of other people as determinants of
their happiness. Your happiness is yours and you must not blame others for the lack of your
happiness. You control your mind, your thoughts, and hence, you hold the sole decision
toward your own happiness.
Simple solutions to secure happiness are to be optimistic and look to the present without
worrying about the future or the past. Boost your confidence levels to attain higher self-esteem
by being true to self, and always striving forward.

Where to Begin Your Quest for Happiness
Happiness does not only mean feeling joy; it can be a feeling of peace, serenity, and tranquility. Rather, happiness is
something, which pushes away all negative emotions like stress, sadness, anger, guilt, depression, and apathy. All
these stressful emotions are often the cause of many illnesses like cancer, cardiovascular diseases, AIDS, and other
infections.
Possible Locations for Happiness
You could look for happiness at different locations like your family, friends, career, and education. Your aim is to do
away with negative occurrences like illness, poverty, failure, rejection and other difficult situations. Hence, your key to
happiness lies in striving and rising above such negativities to attain the level of happiness.
Where to start your Quest
The foundation of your happiness lies in your choice to be happy. You have to commit yourself to be happy and
make it the most important aim of your life. The onus of your happiness is with you and you cannot transfer this
responsibility to anybody else. You also cannot hold anybody else responsible for causing you unhappiness. Both
happiness and unhappiness lies within you and you alone can make the right choice of the two.
Although there are different social organizations, self-help books, and counselors to help you in your quest for
happiness, nothing works better than your own effort for your quest for happiness. The first step towards this quest
lies in prioritizing your personal growth.
Set goals, achieve, and then set higher achievement levels for yourself. Do not overdo your goals as then it could lead
to more unhappiness if you keep setting goals one after another. Focus on realistic practical goals.
Consider an obstacle as an opportunity to grow and reach closer to your goals. Your failures are your steps to your
success. Do not brood over your disappointments and look beyond them. Learn from your mistakes and proceed
towards your main goal of being happy.
Become mentally strong to deal with all hurdles and become capable of dealing with difficult situations. Locate role
models like happy and successful people to start with your quest for happiness. Look deep into their attempts to
overcome depression, stress, and other negative emotions and come out as a highly successful person in life.
