Good day everyone! I'm starting a new series, actually my first series and my second article on the platform. I'm excited to get started 😊. This is a wonderful series, titled, How To Live A Happier Life As An Entrepreneur. We all want to become rich and wealthy and live the luxurious lifestyle, but it doesn't guarantee happiness. Entrepreneurs are very busy people, they don't have the time to have much fun most times because they are busy trying to make their business a success and that's why entrepreneurs need to know just how to live a happier life because most don't know how to. In today's article, I will tell you guys one way in which entrepreneurs can start living a happier life.

One way to be happy an entrepreneur is by keeping track of little things or events in your life that you are lucky to have and grateful for. Doing this, we will realize that we actually have a lot to be grateful for, even things we normally would not take too serious like our supportive family members and friends who got our back no matter what. There will always be someone who is better than us or has achieved more than us. The key to true happiness is to be contented with what you have. We should stop comparing ourselves to others and not measure our success with others' success. We are all unique and shouldn't have one set standard for success. We must be the one to define our own success, wealth and happiness in our own terms.

Been grateful comes with more rewards than just happiness. Gratitude gives you high level of positivity, which makes you more optimistic about life which leads to more happiness. Despite all of this, some people ungratefully focus on what they don't have. They don't appreciate the things and achievements they have made but instead they are in constant pursuit of having more of the newest things, hence, forgetting what truly matters in the process, such as love, good health, family and friends. Sometimes, reminding ourselves to be grateful can go a long way in contributing to our overall happiness. You can have a visual reminder such as a gratitude ball. I have one myself and whenever I see my small hand ball, I pick it up and start saying things I'm grateful for. You don't have to think deep, for a start you can look around your surrounding and see things you appreciate. For me, I'm always grateful for the bright sun shining down on my garden making it to grow and flourish or the birds in the sky that lifts my spirits with their melodious tune. I'm even grateful for the discovery of coffee 😉. The list is endless, you just have to open your mind to gratitude and happiness will flow your way.
