My mum told me that life is so short. Don't work too hard. Remember to have a good time, live a good life and smell the roses. Nobody knows what's going to happen at the end of the line, so you might as well enjoy the trip.
Happiness is a skill to be learned for every day living. The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts around it. Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, and will invariably turn into pain. A man of awareness is unattached to both pleasure and pain - he lives in bliss and remains untouched by the world whereever he is.
Why do I want to be happy?
Happy people live longer, are more productive, healthier, popular, and successful. I like positive energy, positive people, and smiles. Good moments in my life were happy. Achievements make me feel happy. I don't like being sad, down, or wasting my life being sad. No matter what happens in life, I will learn to appreciate it. When I do anything, enjoy it with energy. Be in a state of happy or super happy.
What do I need to do daily?
Be aware of my thoughts and emotions as they happen (awareness is 95% of the journey). Be present throughout the day.
3 deep breathes letting go (being present and at one with now). 3 acts of kindness and smiles. 3 grateful things and visualise the best possible version of myself. Stand in a posture of confidence. Love, appreciate, accept, embrace uncertainty, focus on my purpose to enjoy life, spend time with people I like, do what makes me happy (be active doing the top 5 things I like, ask what option will maximise my utility now, the process and experience, rather than simply the goal and benefits), do what I am good at (master skills, my skills are judgement and curiosity), be optimistic, dwelling on the positive and sharing these with others (not the negative, not dependent on situations, keeping problems in perspective). All we have is now. [Upon reflection apart from the the 3-3-3 the rest are not practical]
Don't worry or want. Don't hate or regret. Don't chase happiness.
