1. Stop spending time with the wrong people
Remember this saying; "show me your friends and I'll tell you the kind of person you are". This saying is a true because the kind of things you hear and surround yourself with shapes and direct your life. When you spend time with people who reduce your aspirations and don't add positive value to your life then tell me, how do you want to experience the love and happiness you are meant to experience. Staying with the wrong people will pass the wrong message and omen to you. The wrong people will always think negatively and say uninspiring things even if what they are saying is right to them, but to you it will always feel wrong because they are not the right things you need at that particular moment.
2. Stop running from your problems
True happiness comes from within. If we truly want to feel that happiness from within us, we need to confront any challenges that is preventing us from being happy. People are used to giving a series of plans; plan A, plan B, plan C and the list continues. They thereby neglect the plan A because there is a problem with plan A. I'm I saying having other plans is not good; No. Let's just think this way, if our plan B and C turns out to have the same challenge plan A is having are we going to keep looking for a plan D and E until we are left with no other plan, why not face the problem once and for all rather than cutting corners and running from them. Happiness comes from a sense of fulfillment and achievement . When our problems have been solved and our mission accomplished that is when we feel the joy and happiness from within us (Read 5 Facts About Life You Might Regret Not Admitting Sooner)
3. Stop trying to buy happiness
Frequently, we do hear this; "money is good but it can not buy happiness". This is a blatant truth. We are in a world in which what most people think is purchasing a car, jewelry, house e.t.c for themselves or their loved ones will make them happy. What they fail to understand is that they are only purchasing a limited source of happiness. Trying to purchase happiness is like pouring water into a basket; no amount of water can fill the basket. Similarly, there would still be more things to buy to purchase if you're planning on buying happiness. Denying yourself just to please other people thinking making them love you will make you happy will eventually lead to frustration. By denying yourself of being happy, you prevent yourself from being happy because you keep forcing yourself to be what you are not by pulling up a fake character.
Nothing pays better than being oneself and letting people love us for who you really are. By that we experience true and lasting happiness that will be generated not the one that is bought.
4. Stop being scared to make a mistake
Withholding ourself from making mistake by being too mistake conscious is we procrastinating our happiness. Am I saying we should make deliberate mistakes or constant mistakes, No. We shouldn't be scared to put out our neck and take a leap. When we make a mistake we shouldn't worry too much about the mistake, because some of the most beautiful things we create in life comes from the changes we make after failure and that is what brings the joy eventually.
Stephen Charnock says " as the image on the seal is stamped upon the wax, so the thoughts of the heart are printed upon the actions". When our actions is based on not making mistakes and being perfect our failure is eminent, but when our actions is based on trials and less worry on mistakes then our happiness and success is guaranteed, because happiness is a thing of the heart.
