How to be happy
1. You choose Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. Abraham Lincoln Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus The world of those who are happy is different from the world of those who are not. Ludwig Wittgenstein The world around you is filtered through the lens of your senses. Depending on whether you interpret this information in a positive or a negative way, you will either find happiness in small, everyday things or blame the circumstances of your life for your lack of contentment. Your choices control the levels of happiness in your life. Strive to be detached, and don't let your feelings be influenced by trivial matters. If you convince yourself to stay relaxed and calm in every situation, then you have chosen happiness. Activities such as meditation will train your mind to stay focused and calm, and will help you develop willpower and self-discipline. Such disciplines are the gateway to happiness.
