The interesting thing about happiness is that it is not a goal that you can aim at and achieve in and of itself. Happiness is a by-product that comes to you when you are engaged in doing something that you really enjoy.

5 ingredient of happiness:

1. HEALTH and ENERGY: This is perhaps the most important element of a good life. We strive for it all our lives. It is only when you enjoy high levels of pain-free health and a continuous flow of energy that you feel truly happy. In many cases, health is a 'deficiency need.' This means that you do not think about your health very much until ynu are DEPRIVE D of it. Eg. You do not think about your teeth until you have a toothache.

2. HAPPY RELATIONSHIPs:Fully 85% of your happiness-or unhappiness-will come from your relationships with people. Your ability to enter into and maintain high-quality relationships with your spouse, children, friends, colleagues, and others is the true measure of the quality of your personality and your level of mental health. One of the biggest mistake is to take our relationship for granted. We often don't think about them until there is a problem, and then we think of nothing else.

3. MEANINFUL WORK: To be truely happy, you must be fully engaged with life. You must be doing things that keep you active and give you a sense of fulfilment. If you are making a living, you must be doing work that you enjoy, do well, and for which you are well paid. In studies of employee motivation, employers think that people are primarily motivated by money and benefics. But when employees are surveyed, the three factors that motivate them the most turn out to be...
a). Challenging and interesting work;
b). Opportunities for growth and advancement; and
c). Pleasant coworkers.

4. FINANCIAL INDEPENDIENCE: Some of the greatest fears we experience are those of loss, failure, and poverty. We fear being destitute, without funds, and dependent on others. One of your chief responsibilities to yourself is to work toward financial independence and financial freedom throughout youq life. The happiest of all people are those who have reached the point
At which they no longer worry about money.

5. SELF-ACTUALIZATIO: This is the feeling that you are becoming everything you are capable of beaoming. This occurs when you feel that you are realizing more and more of your true potential.
