I remember when I was in 3rd grade, my grandfather bought me a bicycle and I told almost everyone I know that I am the happiest child in town. Happiness varies from person to person and from different age groups that is why it is sometimes difficult to define. But from an overall perspective, there are different factors that are important in achieving happiness. I can give some examples and illustrations.

Firstly, an optimistic attitude is an important key to finding happiness. Life is not always fair. Problems and difficulties happen from time to time. But if you know how to respond positively to each problem, you will find happiness in the midst of a trial or a situation. For example, you are on your way to an important meeting when suddenly an accident happened that slowed down the traffic. Instead of cursing and stressing yourself with what happened. It would be easier to relax, turn on the music in your car and wait until the traffic goes back to normal. After all, you cannot change the situation.

Secondly, learn to appreciate. Appreciating the nature, the vastness of God’s creation and the beauty of life itself will give a person a sense of deeper joy. When a person learns to appreciate even the smallest thing, he or she will forget about complaining and whining that always yield to a negative feeling. When you are expecting to receive a dozen of roses and only received a piece of carnation, appreciate and learn to love it by putting it in a beautiful vase and placing it on the table.

Lastly, having a relationship with your own creator will surely give an everlasting happiness. Knowing God’s purpose in your life and why He created you will give you a sense of direction that no matter what happens in your life, you know that He is in control and will never leave you nor forsake you. And this can give eternal joy. Maintaining happiness is really important to keep a healthy and meaningful longer life.
