Happiness comes in many ways and colors means exactly that! For some people, life is a burden while others can hardly wait to get up in the morning and get on with their lives.
One of the main reasons is that happy people find ways to stay happy, while unhappy people find ways to stay miserable. People who find no joy in life enjoy the world that they live in. That's not the world you want to live in. Not now,and not ever.
Happiness brings health to mind and body. I can find true happiness in mountain biking to my heart delight. It is outdoors, very challenging, and technical. Other people find joy in sitting at a bar smoking and drinking beer or hard liquour.
Give you another thought on the subject. People who like to wear stylish clothing are normally searching for happiness in their choice of clothing. I see all good in that because they take pride in what they wear. I see my daughter leave for work every morning dressed beautifully and moderate at the same time. She is also a fanatic at working out at LA Fitness.
Let me point out the ingredients to her happy life: exercise, eats nutritious foods only, and loves her job in her field of study, marketing.
How do I stay happy with my life which is already reaching 66 comes this November?
I am an exercise fanatic, and I eat anything good (not junk food). I don't drink hard liquour except a glass of wine or a beer once in a while. Neither do I smoke nor do I sit for long with anyone having a cigarette near me.
Some people find happiness in living a sedentary life. That's okay, but when the years come rushing by (like they have with me) you will want a healthy body. I have no limitations to what I can do physically, and that's true happiness.
Make your life a world of happiness by building your health every day. Exercise regularly, eat properly, and keep your thoughts on gratitude for your life. What you appreciate having today will only get better if you look forward to more of the same goodness.
Feel free to contact me on your thoughts about happiness, and I will be happy to add them to my blog and give you credit for your contribution by posting your name.

Do you truly want to feel happy most of your day, if you could find proven ways to do so?
Assuming that the answer is Yes! Here's the summarized list of the ways which have proven highly successful over many years of happy living while working at various locations all around the world.
Main 10 points to keep you happy all day long, and for the rest of your life:
1) Attitude - let it be positive at all times
2) Control your thoughts - manage your thoughts vs letting them run "free and loose"
3) Learn to stop fearing or worrying unnecessarily
4) Love your life
5) Keep your health at all cost - exercise and eat nutritious foods
6) Appreciate others for what they do for you
7) Choose a hobby, a sport, or a martial art, do charity
8) Send a note to your friends and cheer them up!
9) Count your blessings every day
10) Laugh often and heartily
As you apply these principles on a daily basis, in time you will find immense happiness in your life. Happiness is not found in taking, but it is in giving, for example: your time to your family or volunteer work; treasure to charity or church; love; kindness, and many other virtues.
Other ideas to keep you happy:
.Listen to music; pop, jazz, classic, country western, etc; read great novels; catch a good movie; hang around with happy friends; catch a sundown by the beach once in a while; marvel at the dawn of day; take a vacation to the Caribbean, Mexico or Hawaii and soak-up the sun for a week or two; talk with people by saying Hi! or give them a compliment on their hair, clothing, their children; smile often during the day.
Things for you to refrain from or to avoid, if possible:
.Losing control of your temper; unhappy and depressed people; sad-theme movies; reading bad news every day; feeling sorry for everything and everyone; people looking for you to hear their complaints, negative opinions, sad stories, and worse yet, office gossip; having someone close to you try to place you on a 'guilt trip' because you don't agree to their opinion nor unwarranted demands; frowning; being overly fastidious; complaining about everything and everyone.
As you avoid the situations mentioned above, you will learn that by being and staying under control of your thoughts and actions, and by choosing happy and optimistic people to associate with, good, great and marvelous things will simply begin to take action in your life. That's a sure bet!
"Life seems short for those that lived it well. It is awfully long for the miserable, the unhappy and the ungrateful souls in the world. Choose to enjoy your life to the fullest!"

The secret to a happier life lies in understanding the difference between what is a blessing versus a curse. That which you consider a curse may be one of your biggest blessings. The difference between the two might just be your attitude toward it. When you finally come to understand the two, you will have gained tremendous wisdom.
