you think you would be happy with more.

Happiness drives success, not the other way around
I was really shocked when I discovered that it’s happiness that
drives success. Success is an external factor and it’s not in our control. On
the other hand, happiness is relatively manageable. When you feel happy, you unknowingly trigger more of the
learning centers in the brain. And as a
result of which, you utilize most of the capacity of your brain.
You will perceive more creativity and productivity when you
are happy. Your concentration also improves in such a mood. And ultimately, it will help you complete the tasks more
efficiently and attain your goals. So, instead of chasing success, focus on becoming
happier.
Happiness is a daily choice
Like I mentioned earlier, happiness is not a destination. Why?
If happiness was a destination in your life, you would have stopped right there when you felt happier last time. But, you
move further and continue your life journey. If happiness was a destination,
its journey would have ended long ago as
you have already experienced happiness countless times in your entire life.
On the contrary, every time you felt happy, you have
continued your life journey and unlocked new prospects of life. Aren’t you? Being
obsessed with achieving goals, things
which didn’t work well in your life, or
just trying to be perfect are the common mistakes most of us make quite often, even
I do it sometimes. I thought it is normal as everybody around me was going through the same circumstances.
I noticed that everybody was blaming the external world for
a cause of not being happy. I met people who were unhappy with their nine to
five routine. While others were caught by
the experiences they had in their past.
Meanwhile, there were a few people around me who were highly
motivated in their life (and unquestionably they were successful as well). Their
motivation level was very high as they had made a choice of being happy no
matter what situation comes in life. And they made this choice repeatedly on
every single day. Hence, I decided to bring happiness as a daily choice in life.
Conclusion: Happiness is a choice and purpose
To make happiness a choice, you will have to first
understand what
is happiness and how it moves your life. Second thing, happiness is a
choice of experiencing positive emotions such as surprise, joy, and pleasure in
the present moment. Lastly, it is a purpose. A purpose which brings meaning to our life.
Once you realize these things, nothing can hold you back
from being happy. You will surely discover your own new philosophy and enjoy
everything that happens in your life. Let me know in the comments section below

choice.
Very nice happiness quotes that you have shared here. For a fact, we all experience anger in our lives. Uncontrolled anger, however, can create problems in our relationships and even with our health. All of this can lead to more stress and additional problems, which can complicate life and keep us from being our best selves. You have to learn to be happy by yourself no matter how many times you have been hurt or abuses, it is not easy. I am very much aware of the fact that letting go and being happy alone is not easy, because I was there, not once nor twice, but in the end, I came out stronger. I take everything that has happened to be a learn and as humans, we make mistakes, all you have to do is to forgive yourself and love YOU. You deserve that. You are far better than what they would make you feel or believe. The wonderful post you've shared here and also I read through your blog and I am left speechless, you're an awesome writer.
