They savor the moment. They "stop to smell the roses".
They're busy, but not rushed. A healthy work-life balance is key.
They don't sweat the small stuff. They focus only of what is important and within their control.

If You're Not Happy, Stop Complaining and Make a Change

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. How many times have you seen an, "Ugh, I hate Mondays" post on social media? Or how about the classic "FML" status update?

If you are unhappy

... you have 2 options:

Build a circle of trust

The primary factor in resilience is having supportive relationships, inside and outside the family.

7 Habits of Incredibly Happy People

While happiness is defined by the individual, I've always felt it foolish to declare that nothing can be learned from observing the happiness of others. In our day-to-day lives it is easy to miss the forest for the trees and look over some of the smaller, simpler things that can disproportionally affect our happiness levels.

Be Busy, But Not Rushed

Being “rushed” puts you on the fast track to being miserable.

Live a productive life at a comfortable pace. Learn to say no to busywork.

Have 5 Close Relationships

National surveys find that when someone claims to have 5 or more friends with whom they can discuss important problems, they are 60 percent more likely to say that they are ‘very happy’.

True friends really are worth their weight in gold. Check in regularly with close friends (around every two weeks).
