Happiness is Not Always Packed In A Sweet Little Package

Is happiness even possible for people who have little or no wealth? What I mean by this is, can you be happy when you don't have anything? Of course you can. In fact, you are already being happy even when you have nothing.


Do you think that you are happy? Can you say with conviction that you are happy? The answer to both of these questions is no. Most people say they are happy when they have something but they are not sure if they are happy. The reason for this is that they don't consider themselves wealthy enough to be able to buy happiness.

Many people say they are happy when they have a pet, they have a big house and they drive expensive cars. But they are not happy because they are not wealthy enough to buy the things they want in life. So they never take the time to evaluate how financially secure they are. They believe that being happy means having money so they spend most of their lives trying to get more money. This is not the way it has to be.

It takes money to make your life secure. Having enough money to afford all the things you want is happiness. If you feel you don't have enough money to make your life happy then you are going to continue to live a poor life. But if you are able to have more money than you need, that makes your life richer. You can use your extra income to help others, pay off debt, take nice vacations and enjoy your hobbies.

Money can't buy happiness but it can provide meaning in your life. People who have achieved financial stability know that there is much more happiness in knowing you have a purpose. A purpose bigger than making a living. People with mortgages and loans still have bills to pay. But people with financial security know their mortgages will be paid and they will have something left over for their future.

Happiness is about having a sense of humor. People who are successful laugh in the face of adversity. People who are not as lucky sometimes make fun of those who aren't as lucky. One reason some people feel sad is because they spend too much time worrying about the things that could go wrong. The best solution for this is to laugh at yourself and have some fun.

Being happy requires time to think about yourself. If you sit around daydreaming about what you want you will never achieve it. Instead, sit down and think about the things you love to do. Once you find things you like to do and that are important to you, start to pursue those dreams. Don't let anything stop you from pursuing your goals.

You can have all the money in the world but if you don't have a happy family, friends, or time for anyone else you will still be miserable. It's better to surround yourself with people who make you laugh, and let yourself be happy. Happiness is a state of mind. By thinking about yourself you will get more ideas for ways to make yourself happy. It's also a great way to look at life so it's always looking forward and not back.

When people are truly happy they are so appreciative of the little things in their life. If you go out and have fun buying a $10 gift card to Toys R Us and you get lucky to score a $50 voucher good for a couple tickets to see the Super Bowl, would you complain? Of course not! Even the most financially secure people are grateful for the little things in life and this goes for people who are happy too.

The most successful entrepreneurs were not born rich. They worked hard for what they had. They didn't have any money to throw away so they were happy to work hard and save up for their business to get started. Money was never a big motivator for them and when things started going right they knew they had found the best things to invest in for their future.

Happiness is something that you discover on your own. People won't force anything on you. If they did, life would be dull and boring. So if you are unhappy with your lack of happiness read up on other people and how they got past their problems and found happiness in spite of themselves. Being happy is something that is within your control and can be achieved. It starts by giving yourself permission to be happy and then go ahead and be as happy as you can.
