Answer:

We all want to be happy. But we sometimes think of happiness as a thing that happens to us — something we have no control over. It's easy to link the idea of happiness with the situation we're in. We might tell ourselves, "If only things were different, then I'd be happy."

But that's not really how happiness works. Research shows that just a small portion of happiness (only about 10%) depends on a person's situation. So where does most of our happiness come from?

Born Happy?

Part of happiness depends on personality. Some people have a naturally happy nature. We all know people who are cheerful and optimistic most of the time. Their upbeat personalities make it easier for them to be happy.

So what does that mean for people who are born with a personality that's on the grumpy side? They might see the faults in people and situations instead of the good. Their mood might be glum more often than it's cheerful. But if they'd like to be happier (and who wouldn't?), it is possible to get there.

Happiness Is Up to Us

Researchers have found that more than half of happiness depends on things that are actually under our control. That's really good news because it means everyone can be happier.

A big part of how happy we are depends on our mindset, the habits we practice, and the way we live each day. By learning the key ingredients of happiness, we can use them to become happier.

Why Happiness Matters

Happiness is more than a good feeling or a yellow smiley face. It's the feeling of truly enjoying your life, and the desire to make the very best of it. Happiness is the "secret sauce" that can help us be and do our best.

Here's what researchers found when they studied happy people:

Happy people are more successful.

Happy people are better at reaching goals.

Happy people are healthier.

Happy people live longer.

Happy people have better relationships.

Happy people learn better.

Ingredients for a Happy Life

Happiness is so important in our lives that it has it's own field of research called positive psychology. Experts in this field have found that there are key things that make people happier:

Positive Emotions

Joy. Gratitude. Love. Amazement. Delight. Playfulness. Humor. Inspiration. Compassion. Hope. Creativity. Interest. Excitement. Enjoyment. Calm. We all like to have these positive feelings.

Besides feeling good, positive emotions do good things for our brains and bodies. They lower stress hormones, help ease anxiety and depression, and improve our immune system.

Feeling some positive emotions every day has a big effect on our happiness and well-being. That's why it's so important to do things that give us positive feelings. Even simple actions like playing with a child or a pet or going for a walk outdoors can inspire these feelings.

Knowing how to manage our negative emotions is also key to happiness. Difficult emotions are a fact of life. But the way we handle them makes all the difference.

Strengths and Interests

The things we're good at, and like to do, are our strengths. We all have strengths, even if we haven't discovered them yet.

Strengths include:

the things we're interested in — for example, music, art, science, building things, cooking, reading

any skills we have — like painting, playing an instrument, or playing a sport

our good qualities — such as kindness, humor, or leadership

Happiness increases when we discover a strength and practice it. The more we practice a strength, the better we get until we really master it.

When we get really good at doing something we enjoy, we can get lost in it. That's called flow. Experiencing flow helps boost happiness. Finding daily ways to use our strengths is a key ingredient for a happy life.

Good Relationships

The people in our lives matter. Good relationships are one of the best ways to enjoy happiness, health, and well-being.

Happiness for You and Those Around

A happy life is wanted by everyone. The feeling of happiness is surely the greatest one ever. When you win a competition, when your hard work pays off, when you are with your loved ones– there are so many reasons to be happy.

Imagine your life ends right now. God asks you, "What was your experience?" You say, "Nothing; I lived my life hunting happiness for myself, and trying to shun people that seemed to be pestering it."

You don't want to end like that.

Yet, we want the prettiest clothes, the sweetest chocolate, the smartest phone, all for our happiness. To what extent do we go and destroy the pleasure and simplicity of life? We need nothing to be happy, just something to be sad.

Happiness from self is the most important. If you cannot bring peace to your mind, no one can. So, no matter what happens, you stand strong and go on. Your present optimism is important for the future you.

It might be difficult to be happy in such hard times, but you are not alone. Other people too are waiting for that happy light to be shone on them. That is where your role comes in.

Do something to make a part of someone else's life happy. If we all dutifully perform our roles and fill everyone's lives with joy, why will there ever be any gloom? If your words can make someone happy, say them. Happiness comes from helping others. Take contentment in doing simple acts of kindness. The smallest of things can give the greatest of happiness. Together, we can make a difference.

I hope this acrostic poem makes a difference too:

Help others if they need your support

And you will be happy to the core

Pray to god, you will be fine

Practice your pleasure, the sun will shine

If the times are rough, don't give up

No crying, there are a thousand reasons to smile

Even if your dreams are a thousand miles

Smile, friend, smile you can do

Someone somewhere is happy because of you!
