In a world of pessimists, realists and cynics, it is hard to find people who are genuinely happy. Here I'm talking about people whose happiness comes from within, rather than having it bought for them by other people. How can we become one of these people? While there are many things that may change our lives in ways that make us happier (getting married, having children, etc), there are some things we can do every day to make ourselves happier.

Everybody wants to be happy. But what does happiness mean to you? And how do we find that feeling of contentment and elation?

We all have our own idea of what it means to be happy and some people see happiness as a destination, some as a journey and others as a state of mind. If you want to know how to be happy in a cynical world, the first step is to figure out what it means for you.

There are various ways of defining happiness, some say it's an emotion, others say it's a state of mind, some believe it's a destination while others say it's a journey. I believe happiness is all these things at once. It's an emotion that can be triggered by the smallest or biggest things in life, but also something that can be created at any time by our own thoughts. It's about being grateful for the things we have, appreciating our loved ones, having faith in humanity and knowing that there are people out there who want to do good. Happiness is about knowing exactly who you are and being proud of your achievements. Happiness is always about achieving something that makes us feel proud of ourselves, whether that's getting into university or finally getting over that relationship that was making us unhappy.

Happiness can be found in the simplest things if you choose to look for them. Every day there are lots of simple things that we can do every day to bring joy and happiness to ourselves, our friends and our families. The following are just some examples.

Keep life simple

Set aside time for yourself

Learn to be thankful for what you have

Don't be afraid to take time off

Strive to live your passions

Do the things you love

Read fascinating content

Exercise your body and mind

Get out into nature

Have a positive outlook

Listen to music

Just smile and be happy

Looking at your happy photographs.

Happiness is a state of mind. It is not a result of what happens in your life, but a result of how you see the world.
Being happy is a habit you can learn. How to be happy? Focus on being happy rather than being rich or being famous or being right. Choose to be optimistic. Every day look for the good things in the world. It will become a habit. And when you choose to be happy, you will find that happiness is all around you, in the simplest of things if you choose to look for them.
