The secret sauce to being better.
It's the end of October today and looking from the beginning of this month till today, I feel happy because many things were put in place and I was able to achieve some things including meeting most of my needs. That is happiness to me. Knowing how great the month has been for me and I could achieve some things.
Let me give you another scenario where I felt so happy and that was yesterday. It's been a long while since I earned something big like yesterday on my post. My mind had been pushing me to make that post into the Leofinance community which I did after returning from Church. I saw the huge upvotes and dollars, I felt the happiness in me that led me to be motivated to work with extra effort last night.
Happiness is a feeling that comes over someone when he knows life is good and such a person can't help but smile. Same thing with me over the post. I felt the feeling from within and knew that I should keep working and never relent because life will always be good when you know or admit it.
When you are contented too, you feel happy knowing that what you have is enough, rather than complaining and being sad over what you don't have. We can only choose to be happy because it's a choice, but the best feeling ever is when you are happy because something good has happened to you.
Happiness can be difficult to define because it means something different to each person. An individual might be happy because he was given a promotion at his place of work, whereas, someone might be happy for the food he was able to eat after starving for a few days. Happiness isn't bound to one reason but to different reasons, hence, the same goal.
Happiness is the ultimate goal for everyone. According to Aristotle, it is the goal of human existence because it is an end, not a means. So, things like wealth and fame are a means to make a person happy.
Happiness is the secret sauce that can enable us to be and do our best. This is why we have to remain positive and ignore every negative thought in our mind, as that is the only way through which happiness can be achieved.
Since I know happiness comes from within, I have always tried my best to remain happy so I could be in the right frame or state of mind to do other things in my life. Not being happy will deprive me of seeing the beauty in life and for that not to happen, I go through some ways to find happiness.
Smiling with others and myself.
This has always been part of me, especially when I wake up. I smile, stretching my arms knowing well that it's another beautiful day to make the best out of it. I love to smile as this is one way to stay positive and I believe that life will be good for me. Same with others too. When I approach people, I smile at them which they return to me. This is something that I have always loved and seeing others smile through me is what makes me happy.
I eat what I want.
The best feeling ever is having to eat what you want and not what you feel as you have no option but to eat else, you will starve. I love to make my meal and realizing that I work for it through the help of God brings me happiness.
I practice gratitude.
A grateful heart is a happy heart. Yes, I don't let this slide from my daily life because it is what makes me receive more blessings. I show gratitude to God for the past moment and thanking Him in advance for what will happen next makes me happy. Whenever I do this, the day is always bright for me.
I show generosity and give compliments.
I realize that when someone compliments you, it makes you happy and feel a sense of hope. Earlier this afternoon, a friend looked at me and said I look more beautiful because I am already a graduate and do not need to read for exams just like her. I looked at her smiling but within me, I felt that morale and excitement in me.
This is what I do not fail to do to others too. They feel good and happy when I compliment them and that brings satisfaction to my mind. Being generous makes me happy too and I never stopped doing that.
In conclusion, being able to achieve something I admire is happiness to me and I tend to stay positive all the time so that I won't give in to negative thoughts. Though we sometimes feel demotivated, it shouldn't take away the space of happiness in us. Things we cannot control, we let go of while we focus on things we can control, knowing well that we would achieve the best when we work hard for it.
Thanks for your time.

Thank you, @hivebuzz
You are welcome @princessbusayo, that's with pleasure! We wish you a happy buzzy week 😊👍🐝
I totally agree with you, if we want to get happiness we have to stay positive always and avoid negative thoughts. May we all be in happiness. 🎉☺
Amen. Thank you so much for reading.
On a very sincere note, that happiness that comes when someone is hungry for goat meat pepper Soup and has the money to order for it is unbeatable. "Eating what I want"🥰
Naso oo 😂There is nothing as happiness in such aspect and it feels good that we can definitely purchase whatever we want with our money.
It is true that we all have different definitions for happiness and you have defined it just well.
Happiness is a state of mind which many people mistaken for having a perfect life. Many think living large in luxury is the only thing that brings happiness but they are wrong.
Your source of happiness is awesome and I feel we think alike when I didn’t see you mention having lots of money, designer bags and other material things.
Having lots of money, and designer bags isn´t happiness for me because despite having those things, I might still not be happy. So, happiness goes beyond those even though we can be happy achieving those with money, it is good but it doesn´t measure up to my happiness. Happiness is indeed a state of mind and it´s a choice too. It all depends on us to stay happy all the time. Thanks so much, George.
Happiness, the ultimate goal for everyone.
Your achievement in life brings you happiness.
Generosity brings happiness. Like I have always said, happiness is Gold. Thanks for sharing this beautiful post on happiness
Happiness is Gold indeed and we must value it. Thank you ma
We must value it to always make ourselves happy. Thank you dear @princessbusayo
You are welcome ma
Eating what we want at the right time is the greatest happiness that every human desire and it always make us smile when we eat what we love.
Hehehe! Happy new month in advance, your happiness has stirred my happiness😁😁. I am so happy that you earned huge yesterday at that post, only God knows how I felt for you.
Happiness comes to people in different ways, but the most common way is through achievements, when our expectations are met, when we hit target, when all things are working for our good. happiness comes automatic even without invitation in such cases.
Life is very tough, happiness happens to be a commodity everyone is after, it is something that can make life pleasant and help us forget our sorrows. I really love what happiness means to you, contentment is the best definition of happiness. We know that it is not every day that we will achieve, some days we will fail and that will surely make us sad but once we are contented, we won't have to worry, because we are okay with any thing that comes and we know it will be better soon if we press more. Being positive minded is very crucial in the game of happiness. Once we are able to understand that things will be better no matter what, we won't have to cry and wail over circumstances
Hehehe I know that's feeling 🤣, if fact the first day I had something tangible of above tend on my post, I was literally dancing to no tune.
Yay! 🤗

congratulations on looting leovoters goodly😁, i pray more of that come your way so you can always be happy💖.... I can also relate to the difference between eating what we want and eating what is available and i can say the first is the best 🤙
Always smiling... Making others wonder what you are up to.😇 The truth is that smiling constantly is more for your own good than it is for them, because when you are smiling genuinely, there is no way you'll be harboring negative feelings within you.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Hehehe... Some even get confused seeing me smiling instead of being angry because I am offended but nah, I don´t do that 😂The best is for one to smile genuinely as that is happiness entirely. I am glad sharing too.
