What Do We Really Need to Be Happy
Many people assume that money is the main capital or as a key factor to gain happiness. There is nothing wrong with that opinion, but not completely true, because as we often see in our association, many rich people who cannot sleep quietly at night, otherwise many people have little money but their sleep, their life is always decorated with a smile of happiness.
So what do humans need to get happiness in their lives? Of course, this is an important question which we must answer together. Before answering this question, first, we learn what it means or the definition of happiness that we may no longer mistake in assessing the meaning of happiness.
In a large Indonesian dictionary, the word happiness comes from "happy". Happy has meaning "Circumstances or feelings which is soothing because free from all the trouble ". While the word "happiness" means as pleasure or the tranquility of life by birth and mind. [ 1]
Not only from a large Indonesian dictionary, the definition of happiness is also written by many experts or scientists in their journal. Most of their opinions not much different from the definition or meaning that exist in the big dictionary Indonesian, as I wrote in the previous paragraph.
What do we need To gain happiness?
There is a wise saying the key to getting happiness is to "be grateful" for what we have, then your life will not be hurt or you will be happy. Of course not enough to just be grateful, many other things that we need to be able to get happiness.
- Maintain your health.
Health can be obtained by a variety of things, including the most simple way, such as with regular breaks, keeping the diet, and others. Several studies have suggested that the person whose life is healthy by exercising tend to have happier lives than the opposite.
If we want to improve our qualities or skill that we have, start from the simple thing that is looking for happiness by exercising or have a healthy lifestyle and good.
- Write what we already have and what we want to achieve.
Write down everything you've accomplished, and your dreams. Do not hesitate to write it, write everything from the worst or the happiest thing. This note is useful to you in the future when faced with various situations, that the ugliness we get today is better than the ugliness we once felt. So that we can be aware and stay motivated in life.
Happiness is not math, which we can measure, add, or subtract. Happiness is also not seen in the appearance, owned possessions. There is no definite value about happiness, then do not be surprised when you see people living with all the flaws but can laugh and smile happily throughout the day. And on the contrary, even those who have abundant wealth not necessarily able to smile happily.
live sober, be grateful for what you have to take what is rightfully yours are another way that we need to get happiness.
