Three Happiness Factors
When you think of being happy, you probably think about external factors in your life, such as having a comfortable place to live, money to fund your lifestyle, and more. While those things can certainly contribute to a greater sense of well-being and contentment, they rarely create happiness on their own.
Rather, genuine happiness is usually the result of less tangible factors. Below you’ll find three of the major factors that can help you to create a life of true joy and happiness, regardless of the state of your outer circumstances:
• Purpose
A seemingly aimless existence often leads to an increased sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction in all areas of your life. On the other hand, when you believe that your life has purpose and meaning, you automatically experience greater focus, vitality and happiness. Your life purpose doesn’t have to be a major “calling” like becoming a nun or missionary; you can find purpose in any kind of situation! Make it your purpose to have a fulfilling career in any field, or set a benchmark of achievement for your children to exceed someday. Choose a cause that is important to you and devote your life to supporting it. Ultimately it doesn’t matter what purpose you choose for your life; just that it’s important to you.
• Self-love
True happiness and contentment must be accompanied by genuine self-love. When you truly love and respect yourself, everything seems to run more smoothly in your life. You get along better with others, you feel stronger and more balanced, and you don’t tend to take challenges so personally. Rather than seeking love and acceptance from others, give it to yourself! Speak kindly to yourself and build yourself up as often as you can. The more you do, the happier you’ll feel.
• Confidence
Confidence makes you feel more in control of your life, which cannot help but make you feel happier too. Not only are you better able to stand up for yourself and avoid being taken advantage of; confidence also helps you to believe in yourself and your capabilities, which gives you the power and determination to create a truly happy and fulfilling life.
There are other factors that contribute to greater happiness, but these three are probably the most pervasive. Simply by fostering these three qualities in yourself and your life, you’ll begin to shift toward a more purposeful, gentle, fulfilling and empo

factors of healthy life
Happiness is the one thing most of us seek after and for many it remains a lifelong quest. Chances are you want to be happy all the time but that is unlikely to happen. But what if you could attain consistent and sustained happiness most of the time, wouldn’t that be great? What if you could unlock those critical factors that would bring you increased happiness in your life.
Happiness means different things to different people, for some it is the attainment of a life goal or contributing to the lives of others.

To create this sense of certainty you should search your mind for the experience s you’ve had in the past and use them to support that idea.
· Taking action. Inaction is one sure way to kill any happiness you may have quickly if not instantly.

· Goals. Many people are unhappy because they do not set goals. You must set new goals for yourself and do something each day towards it’s attainment. No matter how small they might be, set them anyway and work at achieving them. Make sure your goals are what you want them to be and no one else’s, the worst thing in life is to live it doing what others say you must do.
· Gratitude. Be thankful for everything in live that you have. Yes you must give God thanks for all that you now experience and pray that you will do better as time goes by.
· Expand your mind with learning. Work constantly to engage your brain by trying to learn more. Be interested in learning new things and open up your mind to new ways of seeing things.
· Key yourself healthy. One major part of happiness is good health so never ever do anything that will jeopardize your health. Do what you must to be healthy and stay that way it will benefit you for years to come. Be aware of what your body is telling you when something is wrong and have it checked out.
· Positive influence on others. One of the happiest feelings you can have in life is knowing that you are a positive influence on someone’s life. Many people are in search of real role models and leaders. When you are a positive influence you will have the opportunity to get ahead in life.
· Dream big. Do not get caught up in what is going on right now, that’s not the true reality, live life on your own terms. Always keep in mind that it is possible to live your dreams so dream big dreams.
