Happiness is Acceptance and Contentment

A person's level of happiness is always based on their perspective. Your attitude and your thoughts and feelings about your own life are all that determine happiness. I firmly believe that "mindset = life," which means that your perspective on life will determine how you feel about it. Since your mindset directly affects your life, it stands to reason that a positive outlook on life will be reflected in your life as a whole.

Being happy is more than just always having a positive outlook on life; it also involves learning to accept the things in your life that you cannot change and finding contentment in the now. You are one step closer to living a happier life when you can let go of the things that you have no control over. You shouldn’t stress yourself out over the things that you can’t control. If you can change it, then change it! If you can’t, let it go from your mind.

Another important factor in leading a happy life is contentment. You have to learn to accept your life as it is at this point. Stop putting yourself under constant stress from your to-do lists or from overworking yourself because you feel like you have to finish everything. This isn’t to say that you can’t have goals—I highly encourage that—but learning to be happy with yourself and your life right now is going to serve you well in the long run.

You have control over how happy you are in your life. Bad things will always happen, but that doesn’t mean that you need to lose your spark because of them. There will always be something else to smile about; there are far too many positive aspects of life to spend all of your time thinking about the negative.

Allow yourself to focus on the positives of life by releasing all the negative thoughts that are bothering you. Even if you have to dig a little further, I promise you will find something. Look around your life, find the positive in everything, and be happy knowing that there is goodness out there.

Let Go of the Past and Embrace Change

Leave the past in the past! You won’t progress in life if you’re dragging old habits around with you. If you keep trying the same thing over and over again, and you’re not getting the results that you want, maybe it’s time to try something new. T hink of it like diet and exercise. Some diets won't work for you, just like some exercises work better for other people than they will for you. It’s all about figuring out what works, rather than doing the same old thing and becoming disappointed every time you don’t get results. In order to move forward in your life, you need to learn to embrace change. Sometimes, you can get so caught up in sticking with the things that you know, that you wind up afraid of venturing out of your comfort zone. It’s easy to stay with what’s familiar, but you have to learn to let go of familiarity and let yourself embrace the new and the unknown. You need to allow yourself to be open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. You're stuck where you are righ...

Don't Allow Your Fears To Control Your Life

Everyone has something that they are afraid of—you, me, everyone! It’s not shameful to have these fears, but you shouldn’t allow them to take precedent over your life. Things only have power over you because you give them that power. If your fears are starting to hold you back from living the life that you want, then you need to rethink how you view those fears and learn to break past them in order to move on. Your limitations are only limitations because you allow them to be. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for, so don’t allow yourself to be brought down by your fears just because you’re worried that you won’t be able to overcome them. You can do anything that you put your mind to, and if that involves overcoming your fears, then you will be able to do just that! When you choose to avoid your fears and not face them, you open yourself up to even more fear, as well as limitations on your abilities. Facing your fears allows you to break free of the restrict...
