There are two facts that if you accept them you can achieve
happiness.
In fact anyone can be happy Happiness is a choice - you are not
born happy, just as you are not born sad.
You have to decide which you want to be and accepting thee two
facts below will help you.
1. Accept What You Have.
You may look at someone and want to be as good looking as them, or
as rich as them but fact is you may not be and will never be.
Life is not fair as we all know and in our lives we all encounter
situations where we feel we are hard done by.
The fact is you cant do anything about it.
You need to accept what you have and make the best of it.
It maybe a cliché but there is always someone worse off than
you.
When you think youre hard done by, think of the millions of people
around the world who have a far worse life than you, if you read a
paper on any day you will find them.
From children born with aids into extreme poverty, to people who
have illnesses that make us wonder how they cope at all.
A good example of a person accepting their lot was the actor
Christopher Reeve.
He had it all -wealth, fame, looks and a loving family but suffered
horrific injuries in a horse riding accident that, left him
paralyzed from the waist down.
Dip he get depressed?
Did he simply sit back and say lifes not fair?
No he didnt - he got on with life, set himself targets and set out
to prove that he could walk again and inspire others with his
efforts.
He never achieved his aim, but found a new purpose in life by
helping others and trying to achieve his aim and felt gratitude for
the love of his family and others around him.
So when you feel a bit depressed and think lifes not fair think of
Christopher Reeve and the countless millions of people around the
world that remain happy and are in a far worse position than
you.
2. Do things to make you happy
There are certain things we can all do, with a bit of motivation to
make us happy.
While you have to accept certain things in life others are within
your reach and can make you happier.
Get motivated and think what can I achieve?
This is different to what you may want to achieve, so be
realistic.
The fact is everyone can do things to make themselves happy if
their motivated.
They may be simple things like, changing your job, taking up a
sport, or just simply being good to people around you.
You may find that a simple change such as seeing good in other
people and being nice to others makes a dramatic difference to your
life.
By being nice to others, you will find they are nice to you and
this can open up all sorts of opportunities to make your life
better.
In fact loving and being loved, is perhaps one of the simplest ways
to achieve happiness.
Being happy is simple:
Accept what you have and make the best of it achieving happiness
really is that simple.
