Happiness

At the end of the day, what most people really want in life is to be happy.

Many people believe that happiness comes from obtaining certain objects. They say things like,
"I’ll be so happy when I get my new iphone!"
However, the happiness associated with obtaining these objects is usually short term only . Have you ever received something you really wanted only to have it end up sitting on a shelf gathering dust a few weeks later? I know I have!
So, if lasting happiness can’t be found by obtaining ‘things’, how can we increase the levels of happiness in our lives?
I believe that the best way to obtain lasting happiness is to bring happiness into the lives of others. The most amazing thing about happiness is that the more you give away to others, the more you receive for yourself.
So, whenever you’re feeling a little low and need a dose of happiness, one of the best things you can do is to focus on making someone else happy. Remember… even a smile can lift up someone!
