Happiness in life is the goal of every person.
It is not the actions we do which makes us happy, but instead those actions create an atmosphere in which good things happen which in turn makes us happy.
The definition of happiness differs from person to person.
Some find happiness in the receipt of money, the purchase of material objects, authority over others, or in spirituality, just to name a few.
Whatever be the avenue for you to experience happiness, the key to it lies in the following 3 items.
1.
Learn to leave the past behind: Leave incidents that have taken place, which had a negative impact on your emotions, caused you frustration, guilt, a sense or failure or fear.
Often, these things can be the biggest cause of stress and reduce your quality of life.
After a point of time, holding on to past events that affected you negatively does start affect your well-being.
The best option is to let the old stuff die.
Try your darndest to live in today.
2.
Don't live in regret: Regret is the biggest burden you can carry along throughout your life.
Living with regrets will not bring happiness in life.
Instead, it will cause you to second guess any and all decisions you have ever made.
Know that we can't reverse the actions of the past, but we can forgive ourselves and others, to allow us to move on and be happy.
3.
Learn to live in the present: People who live in the past bring negative energy into the present, and those who are always thinking about tomorrow often miss the value of any joy they can experience at the present.
The key is to understand that the past cannot be fixed and the future cannot be planned, only outlined.
To truly experience happiness in life, one must apply each of these three items.
Remember, our time on earth in the physical sense is only temporary, thus it is in our best interest to remember that and enjoy the small amount of time available to us.
Since happiness is the ultimate emotional goal for everyone, why not apply these three rules and make sure that you stay happy in life.
