Eight Things Happy People Have In Common by shitshappen(m): 3:32pm On Jul 18, 2014
Much have been said about money, success, blah blah and blah. Sometimes little is said about happiness which is the most important thing in life. So I went digging for things that happy people do as a routine because to me life is all about happiness and its pursuit. This is what I found out in times magazine, enjoy:
University of California professor Sonja Lyubomirsky details the things research shows the happiest people have in common.
So here is the list, enjoy
1.They devote a great amount of time to their family and friends, nurturing and enjoying those relationships.

2.They are comfortable expressing gratitude for all they have.

3. They are often the first to offer helping hands to coworkers and passersby.

4. They practice optimism when imagining their futures.
5. They savor life’s pleasures and try to live in the present moment.

6. They make physical exercise a weekly and even daily habit.
7. They are deeply committed to lifelong goals and ambitions (e.g., fighting fraud, building cabinets, or teaching their children their deeply held values

8.Last but not least, the happiest people do have their share of stresses, crises, and even tragedies. They may become just as distressed and emotional in such circumstances as you or I, but their secret weapon is the poise and strength they show in coping in the face of challenge.
Having said it all, now you know. Happiness is your right don't let anyone take it from you, not even your spouse.

HAPPY



It might seem crazy what I'm about to say
Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care baby by the way
{Uh}
[Chorus:]
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna
do
[Verse 2:]
Here come bad news talking this and that, yeah,
Well, give me all you got, and don't hold it back,
yeah,
Well, I should probably warn you I'll be just
fine, yeah,
No offense to you, don't waste your time
Here's why
[Chorus]
{Hey
Go
Uh}
[Bridge:]
(Happy)
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
My level's too high
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
I said (let me tell you now)
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
My level's too high
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
I said
[Chorus x2]
{Hey
Go
Uh}
(Happy) [repeats]
Bring me down... can't nothing...
Bring me down... my level's too high...
Bring me down... can't nothing...
Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)
[Chorus x2]
{Hey
C'mon}

The happiest people are not the ones who have everything, but those who are contented with everything they have

Those who are contented with what they have, and have made their peace with fellow men and God(if they believe in one).

Happiness depends on how you love your own self, and makeing sure your first angle of hapiness is LOVE towards yourself and the awareness of your value and significance.

Fall inlove with yourself b4 falling in love with you neighbor/spouse.

Happiness is valuing your gifts, talents, and all your best character features.

Bottomline you can't be happy if you are not happy inward with yourself.
