How can we identify happiness to ourselves? How will I know that I am happy? I don’t know how to answer these question but I know that I am happy right know. I will classify Happiness via two sections: Permanent and Temporary.
Temporary happiness is that feeling for the time being. When you received a gift from someone, finished a task, when you’re with friends, etc. You’ll be happy for a moment and will fade after some time. Short time happiness, if I may say so. Sounds cynical but it actually are helpful for all of us. We need this kind of happiness from time to time when we are not feeling very bright and needs a push to help us thought out the day. We may not acknowledge it; this happens to us a lot in a day.
Permanent happiness is a complex one. This is the happiness that can only be known by us, individually. This is when we already know that everything will be fine. That you are confident enough that struggles will just be a road to cross and not a mountain to climb. Can we achieve this? Yes. But, you have to be confident with yourself first before reaching it. I am not saying that you won’t be experiencing sadness, problems or any negative things into your life though. You’ll have it but you’ll conquer it. You already reached the solid state of yourself. You’re strong enough to handle it.
How?
Know yourself
You need to know who you are! You have to have your own identity, role or purpose. This may be hard for others because many of struggled in finding ourselves. There is no age limitation or a timeline into your life when you’ll find it, look as much as you want! But just make sure that its not at the end of your energy. Or probably do, it’s up to you. Remember, as long as you’re finding ways to reach permanent happiness.People around you
These are family, friends or colleagues. As long as these people don’t create much stress or problems, stay with them. Leave the rest. You have to know them and love them because they may be the ne who’ll help you during your hard times and celebrate with on your ups. Others may stick with you on while you’re on your best but forget you on your worst. YOU DON’T NEED THEM!
Set your goals
This doesn’t have to be in a monetary unit. Family, adventures, hobbies, experiences or career should have goals. With this, you can push yourself to hit the target and once you did, I am sure that you’ll be happy. Be Free
Free your self from all of the drama and sadness. Free yourself from the negativity of your life. Although, we cant really remove them but at least, avoid them into your life. You have to be free and release the chain that prevents you to achieve the max of your possibilities.Appreciate little things
You have to be happy even if this is just a simple thing in life. Appreciate them. You’ll know their cost if you’ll disregard them when they’re gone. Be happy and thankful for every day of your life.
You don’t have to follow these of course. Happiness will always be for us. The only person who can identify happiness is you. Not me or any other person. Just you. So, be happy for yourself and not for other people. Create a world which can give happiness to yourself.
