How to Be Happy With What You Have while working on what you desire to accomplish!!!!!!
To a certain extent, happiness is a choice. While it’s impossible to control everything that happens to you, you can control your internal thought processes and the actions you take. Ultimately, being happy with what you have is a matter of focusing on the good things in your life, letting go of unrealistic burdens and expectations, and doing your best to make yourself feel good in the here and now.
Take a moment to think about your many gifts. In other words, think about all of the great things that you do have, not the things you don’t.
Think of the ways things could be much worse. Next, try thinking of everything that could be wrong right now.
Let go of the past. There’s no way to change the past, so worrying about it does nothing for you but worsening the situation!!!!
Stop comparing yourself to others. Envy is like poison for happiness. It’s very hard to keep your happiness alive when you’re focused on how other people are better than you. When someone has something that you like (like a job, a car, a significant other, a fun vacation, etc.), don’t be upset that you don’t have that thing. Instead, be happy for the other person and focus on making yourself happier.
Release yourself from desires for material things. Possessions can’t make you happy in the long term. The “glow” from purchasing fancy new things quickly wears off. Soon, your new possessions are mundane and you’re no happier than when you started. Money, houses, and shiny cars are nice things to have, but they’re not the source of happiness, so by allowing yourself to desire these things you’re only setting yourself up for more unhappiness.
Focus on your happiest memories. While you shouldn’t worry about the past because there’s nothing you can do to change it, you can and should savor the good aspects of your past. The fact that you have been happy in the past is something to be thankful for. No one else in the world has your happy memories, so you are uniquely privileged in this way.
Spend time with the people you truly value. To a certain extent, you are the people you surround yourself with. Over time, their opinions, actions, and emotions rub off on you, working their way into your life. To be as happy as possible, be sure to spend time with the people who are most important to you — the people who make you happiest. These can be friends, family members, coworkers, significant others, or even casual acquaintances. Only you know who makes you the happiest, so make this choice for yourself.
Thank others for the effect they have on your life. Always go out of your way to thank the people who bring happiness to your life. When you make a habit of thanking people, it makes you realize how much happiness you have in your life. Thanking the people who mean the most to you also allows you to share your happiness. Being happy on your own is great, but being happy with someone you’re close to is even better.
Set exciting new goals. The happiness you get from achievements and successes is fleeting. Like with new purchases, it quickly fades, leaving you feeling the same as before. However, the state of working toward a goal can be a source of joy all on its own. Having a goal gives you a reason to live your best and makes you feel purposeful and active.
Surround yourself with things that make you happy!!!
Live an active, open lifestyle.
Have fun!
Try to mentally stay in the present. Don’t dwell on the past. Stop thinking about painful “what ifs.” You can only change the present, so that’s what counts.
Remember that no one has a perfect life. Things will occasionally go wrong. Work to fix these things, but don’t let life’s imperfections drag you down.
