Are you truly happy? Do you even know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness? These are important questions for anyone who is seeking happiness to ask themselves. I live my life to maintain my own happiness while trying my best to not cause unhappiness to anyone else. If you want to be happy you need to understand that you can be happy and that you should be happy. Many people make the mistake of believing that they don’t deserve happiness and accept their unhappy state as their destiny. The truth of the matter is that happiness, like anything else in life, needs to be nurtured. The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.

1. Understand what it is that will make you happy. Everyone has unique requirements for attaining happiness and what makes one person happy may be very different from what makes someone else happy. Revel in your individuality and do not worry about whether or not your desires are comparable to those of your peers.

2. Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy. Your mood will very likely increase as your pursue your goal because you will feel better about yourself for going after something you value.
3. Surround yourself with happy people. It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way. Conversely, if you are around people who are happy their emotional state will be infectious.

4. When something goes wrong try to figure out a solution instead of wallowing in self pity. Truly happy people don’t allow set backs to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the circumstances back to their favor.

5. Spend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy. These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continued happiness.

6. It’s also important to take some time each day to do something nice for yourself. Whether you treat yourself to lunch, take a long, relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance you will be subconsciously putting yourself in a better mood.

7. Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness. While there are times that require you to be serious, when it is appropriate, find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you unhappy.

8. Maintaining your health is another way to achieve happiness. Being overweight or not eating nutritious foods can have a negative effect on your mood. Additionally, exercise has been known to release endorphins that give you a feeling of happiness.

9. Finally, it is important to understand that you deserve happiness. Those who believe that they are not worthy of happiness may subconsciously sabotage their efforts to achieve happiness. If necessary, tell yourself each day that you deserve to be happy and remind yourself what steps you will take to achieve the happiness you desire.

Happiness is hard to define but most people are aware of whether they are happy or not. Many people believe that happiness is a form of luck and that some people are destined to be happy while others are destined to be unhappy. I try to incorporate the tips above into my life and have had great success in achieving happiness. The tips in this article are small but meaningful steps that you can take each day to lead you to true happinessps that I follow to create happiness in my life.

你真的快樂嗎？你真的知道快樂意味著什么，得到快樂需要什么嗎？對于所有正在尋找快樂的人來說，這是自問的最重要的問題。我在生活中維護著自己的快樂，并盡最大努力不給他人帶來不快。如果你想快樂就必須明白你能快樂，而且值得快樂。許多人錯誤地認為他們不應該快樂，并相信他們的不快樂是命運使然。事實上，快樂和生活中其它一切一樣，需要培養。以下是我在自己的生活中創造快樂的幾個好方法。

1. 了解什么能使你快樂。每個人對獲得快樂的要求都很獨特。使某人快樂的東西可能和使另一個人快樂的東西大不一樣。只管醉心于你個人的愿望，不要擔心你的愿望是否比得上同事的愿望。

2. 制定你認為能使自己快樂所要達到的目標。在實現目標的過程中，你的心情很可能會好起來，因為在追求你珍視的東西的時候，你會對自己感到更滿意。

3. 讓自己的周圍聚集著快樂的人。當你被消極的人群包圍的時候，就會消極地考慮問題。相反，如果你周圍都是快樂的人，他們的心態也會感染你。

4. 如果出了麻煩事，就努力想出解決的辦法，而不要沉溺于顧影自憐。真正快樂的人不允許挫折影響他們的心情，因為他們知道，只要稍微動動腦筋就能將不利境況變為有利。
5. 每天花幾分鐘時間想想讓自己快樂的事情。這幾分鐘時間能讓你有機會把精力集中在你的生活中那些積極的事情上，能不斷地給你帶來快樂。

6. 每天花點時間為自己做點好事也很重要。請自己吃頓午餐，放松地泡個澡，或者只是多花幾分鐘時間化個妝，不知不覺中就能使自己的心情好起來。

7. 在緊張的情況下找點幽默也能帶來快樂。在需要嚴肅的場合，想個適當的辦法緩解緊張的氣氛，否則就會令你感到不快樂。

8. 保持健康是另一種獲得快樂的辦法。超重或不吃營養食品對你的心情會有不好的影響。此外，人所共知，運動釋放出的內啡呔也能給你快樂的感覺。

9. 最后，要知道你值得快樂很重要。那些認為自己不值得快樂的人，可能下意識地妨礙了他們獲得快樂的努力。如果必要，每天都告訴自己你值得快樂，提醒自己應該采取什么措施獲取你希望得到的快樂。

 很難給快樂下定義，但是大多數人都能意識到自己是否快樂。很多人認為快樂是一種命運，有人注定會快樂，有人注定不快樂。我努力把這些方法融入我的生活，已經非常成功地獲得了快樂。本文提到的方法很不起眼，但是意味深長。你可以每天照辦，使自己獲得我在生活中因此而創造的那樣真正的快樂。
