I'm not a Guru of life, but these things come to my mind again and again, and it comes to 6 points of ways how human can be happy.
1. Never stops learning! Always keep an open mind. Learning is fun, and this is the only eternal way to keep you energized, young and living your life as wide as possible, as colorful as possible! I am one who loves to learn because I like to know more, I'm not smart but it excites me when I get to know new things though it might have nothing to do with my works or living, and explore on territory which is beyond my knowledge...and the definition of learning need to be carry to a wider context; traveling, reading, net surfing, attending course, socializing with people....You might feel like going on a trip to a total unfamiliar place, you might wanted to start to learn swimming, you might think of taking up your camera to see what you can do about it in capturing your life, you might want to challenge yourself with a hiking trip, you might feel like pick up a book on science and starts to immerse in the wonder of universe! There is just so much on the list to learn, and have fun of! It's a matter of attitude: an open mind keeps you learning just anything, anytime, anywhere! "Keep yourself curious as a kid and you are gonna be happy as them"
2. Smile, it's your day! Life is never smooth, and nobody can live a happy ever life as in the fairy tales. But you gotta believe in the power of SMILE! As we always talk of positive thinking, and a smile is the best way to kick start the mode and pull ourselves from dark part of ourselves. Do you have to force yourself to smile? and how about when we are feeling very bad? Think of the happy moment you had in your life: it can be wonderful trip you had, it can be your mum's cooking, it can be something excites you recently in your job, it can be a coming event which you have awaited so long, it can be a song which brings back a lot of past happy memories....How bad can your problems be if you have gone through so much. Let's smile everyday, everything's gonna be OK! Remember, we cannot escape from darkness but we can always bring in sunshine to light up the darkness!
3. Sleep well, eat well & move your body! I found that sleep deficiency greatly affects our focus of life, makes us perform badly in everything in our live, crippled our ability to handle crisis, and the fluctuation of emotion towards things and people is greater when we didn't manage to rest well. Usually when I find myself having a bad mood, is most probably I have been sleeping less that time! On the other side, to eat well makes us feel happy and stay healthy. It will be a great emotion booster when you can eat heartily, and with friends or family is even better! Of course, I'm not suggesting you to eat junk food which is so unhealthy and gonna drag you down further. All in all, eat heartily, have a good night sleep and you are all charge up to handle your problems!
4. Fear not, I'm the hero of my life! I think we all living in the age of fear. It's not only disasters getting more and more frequent, the whole generation is having less ability to handle uncertainties of life including losing job or someone we loved, unable to achieve what we want, unable to protect those we once own in our life. All kind of uncertainties surround us, as if we are living in the end of the world! Aren't we already living in a much civilized, developed world, why are we still feeling much threatened and insecure? Yes, we are living in this generation which is complicated by ourselves, we created this troubled world! Out of this mess, there seems to be only one way out : Fear not! Sometime I feel doubted about my choice, sometime I feel hesitate to talk, sometime i worried I cannot handle my problems; all these fear are of some reasons but it is all because we are afraid making mistakes, and we are afraid of taking up the consequences after taking some risks. "All is well! Our hearts get panic and fear easily" We know this feeling is actually playing with our heart, so we should not be taken away by this silly feeling! Go do it, get it started and it will have its way. If life is show, we will be the hero of our life who stand up from difficulties and make them as a thrilling chapter of our life story!
5. Appreciate relationship. Thanks to people who comes to our life: our parents, our sibling, our classmates, our friends, our colleagues, our superior. Perhaps as a human nothing is more important to have these people, so spend your time to building up a good relationship towards those around you. It would be so meaningful and bring joys when you can brings warmth and security to your family, when you encourage your friends and colleagues who feel demoralized, when you support your boss to grow a stronger business, when you give a helping hand to a someone who is in need. If you are willing to give, you are already get the richness of life.
6. Hopes, it's our choice to make them happen! We all have dreams, and they are needed to keep us moving gradually to a better place. Make them happen! One thing I agreed a lot on my current employer is the attitude we handle our life can make changes to our life. Be positive or negative, both can gives totally different outcome to our life. The key attitudes are: Take upsets/critics positively, keep an open mind to assess opportunities, and always be proactive and persistent in approaching people and problems. " A brick wall is to not to stop us. It is to test how badly we want get to the other side of it to get what we want."
