Be yourself! A cliche statement there, right? Well, this overly used phrase means something that is overlooked repeatedly in people’s lives. People often try to fit in into a certain group of people that is completely otherwise of their interests and passion. This brings nothing but stress and misery. If you find yourself being one of those people then you should stop hanging out with this kind of people. Find people who have the same interests, passions or goals that you do and make them your company.
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself.”
― Harvey Fierstein

Failure is a bruise, not a tattoo. Simple as that. Happy people refuse to get depressed over the little bumps and failures that occur in their lives. They know that certain mishaps are meant to happen. They acknowledge the fact that failure and the experience after it are two great teachers in life. Instead of whining about it, they work ahead and hope for better things to come. If you act like a drama queen whenever you screw up, you better fix that if you plan to be happy any soon.

― Maya Angelou

Making money and constantly drolling over it is never an issue for happy people. It is observed that most of the happy people live an average and normal life.

They instead work on themselves and stay spiritual to keep themselves calm. In this world of rush and constant progress, people forget to give themselves some time. They forget to keep themselves happy just because of something that has no guarantee of staying there forever. To live a truly happy life, you should spend more time with yourself and your family.

This is pretty self-explanatory. Happy people will never stay in between such people who would do anything otherwise than all of the habits discussed earlier. They know that keeping in touch with these kinds of people will bring nothing but misery. They instead hang out with people who the same positive approach towards life like themselves. Surrounding yourself with right people will not make you happy but will also boost your self-confidence and creativity. So, you should double check the kinds of people you hang out. Think of it like this: If a person near you starts smoking, you don’t just stay there inhaling all of the smoke that is hazardous to your life, you move away. You should do the same with negative people.
