Everyone wants to be healthy, happy and successful. However, do you
find yourself thinking: “If only I had a better body, more money, or a
flashier car…etc.?” If so, then you may be focusing on the wrong
things. Instead, take a look below at the ways in which truly happy
people operate:
1. They forgive. A grudge is like deadweight. The only thing it could ever do is hold you back.
2. They are willing to admit when they are at fault.
This displays strength of character, humbleness, and maturity to one’s
social circle.
3. They surround themselves with people who are good
for them and let go of people who are not. Seek to create mutual
relationships, and recognize parasitic ones.
4. They don’t take hateful criticism to heart. Instead they realize that everyone loses their temper.
5. They get motivated by their enemies instead of
being discouraged by them. Energy is energy, no matter the form, so take
your critic’s negative energy and use it for your benefit.
6. They focus on what they believe is important
instead of simply pleasing others. The crowd effect is powerful, and it
takes control of the majority of people. It takes an incredibly strong
person to stand up for what they believe even when no one else shares
their belief.
7. They have morals that they stick to, in both their personal and professional life. This reduces the chance of feeling guilt.
8. They exercise regularly. Exercise does so much
for a person. It gives them higher self-esteem, strength, endurance, and
releases endorphins that keep you naturally happy.
9. They eat a well-balanced, nutritious diet. The
brain runs at full capacity when it is nourished. They detox their mind
and body regularly to remove negative thoughts and toxins. You can learn
how to effectively and safely detox your body in my e-book The Detox Guide.
10. They read a lot. Whether this is the news and/or
a good book. They know this is a great way to learn about the world and
our culture. Reading is also a great way to experience life through the
perspective of some of the greatest minds in human history.
11. They are risk takers. This means they have less
regret. Don’t you find that you tend to regret the things you didn’t do,
rather than things you did? Most people just wait for that big break to
land right into their lap. Life just doesn’t work that way. It’s all
about risk and reward. If you take a big risk you have a chance at a big
reward, or maybe a big loss.
12. They learn to say ‘no,’ instead of just doing
things for the sake of it. This allows them to take control and do what
they feel is significant to them, or those they care about.
13. They focus on living in the here and now. Most
people spend a lot of their time worrying about their past or what is to
come in the future. Whereas if we focused on enjoying the moment, we
would feel a greater sense of happiness and appreciation for what we
have. So don’t dwell on the past or future. Enjoy every day.
14. They worry less. Don’t you find yourself
worrying about things that never actually happen? It’s actually just the
principle of uncertainty. It is natural to fear uncertainty, but it is
important to accept it so you can go on without getting trapped in a box
of imaginary fears.
15. They are naturally caring to others and realize
that human kind should be there for each other. If you harm another
person than you are harming yourself in some way also.
16. They believe in what they are doing and feel an
immense amount of passionate for it. It takes a great amount of passion
to be able to follow your heart into a big risk. Most of the greatest
inventions would not have come to fruition if not for the passion and
perseverance of great men and women.
17. They take care of their health and understand
that it’s much easier to prevent disease than treat it. Personally, I
like to take care of my body using the healing power of nature, and I
frequently use my e-book Herbal Remedies Guide as a reference.
18. They don’t complain. Everyone is handed terrible
things sometime. Successful people understand that it is more important
to focus on fixing the problem rather than complaining about the
problem.
19. However, if they need to talk to anyone about a
problem, they know they have friends and family who they can confide in,
who will be able to support and advise them. Many times you get too
stuck in a certain perspective. Sharing problems with others help you
vent, and can come up with outside your box solution.
20. They don’t compare themselves to others. There
will always be people who are richer, taller, wiser, or more athletic
but that doesn’t matter, because if you strive to be a good person and
the best you can be, then you are successful in your own right, and that
should make you feel proud. Everyone has their own niche. As Ralph
Waldo Emerson said, “Every man is my superior in some way, and in that I
will learn from him.”
21. They encourage others to be happy and
successful. Empathy is a huge part of being successful. If you can’t put
yourself in someone else’s shoes, then how can you get a friend through
a tough time?
22. They are not jealous of others. They don’t feel
envy as they are satisfied with what they already have. Instead, they
are happy for what others have accomplished. This is the most difficult
trick. Keeping up with the Joneses is part of our culture. Focus on how
you can make your friends more prosperous and they will do the same for
you.
23. They sleep well. How would you expect to give
each day your best if you are groggy and tired? Get a solid 7-8 hours
every night.
24. They are able to relax. They make sure they make
time for themselves and do not feel lazy, or guilty about it. They
realize that they have earned their ‘me time.’ They don’t give to
receive. Instead they are instinctively generous with those they care
about. Personally I like to use the amazing power of essential oils to
help me to relax. For example, you can use essential oils for a relaxing
bath or massage, or just inhaling some of them will help you to relax
and clear your mind. I frequently refer to my e-book the Magical Aromatherapy Guide to get ideas on how to pamper myself using essential oils.
25. They are not materialistically minded. They realize
that it’s not designer clothes or expensive cars that make us truly
happy. It is success and relationships that are the true source of
happiness.
