Happiness In A Person's Life
Happiness is one of the life elements that we humans seek and want to have. We want to be happy about our life in general, about our acheivements and things we have done well on.
In the absence of happiness is probably sorrow where deep emotional breakdown and sometimes despair reigns.
Why is happiness important?

Acheiving A Happy Life
How do people achieve a happy life? Well, there may not be one master plan for acheiving a happy life. Generally people perceive things differently and what makes one happy may not particularly make another so.
But basic principles remain the same.
1. Gratitude: One of the ways to achieve a happy life is the element of gratitude - the ability to recognise and be thankful about things we have.
2. Celebrating Small Wins: When we celebrate small wins, we focus our strength on the positive and it has incremental influence on many other things.

Acheiving A Happy Life
3. Acknowledging we cannot have it all: When we try to reach for everything, to have it all, we are sure to ruin our lives. We can hardly have everything to ourselves. But we could be gifted at some things and being happy with those improves our lives.
4. Common good: Yes, you read that right - common good! When we do things for the good of ourselves and of course others, we are likely to have the positive contribution to others. When we know we are of importance to others, we are happy to be of contribution to others.
