Happiness Begins When You Decide to Take Good Care of Yourself
Sep 1st
All great things begin on the inside of us. Make no mistake about it, if you want someone else to make you happy you have to make yourself happy.
So what is happiness for you? Are you happy to be alive, have good health, married, have children? These are just some of the things you can be happy about, but its more than this.
We were created to be happy. Are you happy with the way your life is? If you are not, chances are you are not happy. The road to happiness begins on the inside of you, I call it your heart and your head.
Here is to you not being happy because of things. You can purchase the most expensive house and or car, but it will not translate to happiness. The reason it will not translate to happiness is because human beings need other people, they do not need things to be happy and many times the things simply have no value.
The best way to ensure you are happy is to make a personal assessment of your life. In other words, do you love yourself? I really hope the answer to this question is yes, you love yourself because it will signal to me that you care about yourself.
As part of your happiness assessment, do you wish to live longer? That question is for people who pretend to be happy but really are not. Another way to find out if you are happy is to find out if you care about your health, mental state and physical well being. Answer no to any of these questions and you may need to seek a professional.
Happiness does translate to love, if you are not happy you will not share the most valuable gift known to humanity, love. Loving yourself translates to loving others, this includes loving your spouse, your children and your parents and siblings and relatives.
What would you say if I asked you, “Do you love Christ?” God created us all, do you love Christ and if so does it make you happy? Only you can determine whether you are happy or not, hopefully the answer is yes.
A life filled with happiness is a sure sign you will be a very productive person. Never allow anyone or anything sand between you and happiness because it is a rare commodity in deed. Make your personal assessment and you will discover your happiness rating, I know it will be a high number.
Enjoying Your Life to the Fullest

You can be happy if you want to be. But it isn’t automatic, like some people think it should be. It takes specific effort to be happy. You have to want it. You have to work for it. But it isn’t sweat that makes it, it’s effort.
One tip is simple. You can make other people smile. Everyone wants to feel special and needed. If you want to make people happy seek out the special qualities, talents and traits that make your friends who they are.
A simple walk can be a generative boost to the soul and body and spirit. You will feel good and if you don’t already appreciate all the good things in life then you might start.
You can pump up your own energy levels by just eating raw fruits and vegetables. That means more of the energy stored in the food will be stored as fat and your body won’t absorb as many nutrients from the meal.
Reading is a great stress-reducer. By reading books that give advice, you will discover solutions in your life. When the problem is solved, you will feel more relaxed.
You should reach out to friends when you can. Spending time with people helps ward off loneliness. Whether it’s new moms, siblings or pet lovers, just knowing you’re not alone can go a long way toward coping with stress.
You can also learn a lot from the older people in your life. Old people aren’t considered wise without reason. There are so many things they’ve been through that you can’t know about. Ask.
Enjoy yourself. It isn’t hard. Just sit back and ride it out. This will help to keep you fresh as overcoming a challenge gives you a buzz and increases the enjoyment you get from life.
