How to be happier in life?

If you want to know how to be happy, you are not alone. The truth is life is only as good as your mindset. Gratitude is the key to peace of mind. Start each day with a greatful heart. Look at all the blessings in your life and be happy.

Life is some days an empty wallet, a leaked roof, a pothole on a highway and it might deny your happiness but life is going to respond to your attitude and happiness is a state of mind. There is only one happiness in life, to be at peace with your maker. Acceptance or "redha" is the reason some of us live a happy life and some of us don't.

There is no two ways about it. Absolutely no one can make you happy until you are happy with yourself first. If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things. I learned over the years that; use things not people and love people especially your family and friends not things. If you want people to hang around, try not to be a pain in the arse. That should help. I always tell myself. Life is too short to waste on grudges. Laugh when you can. Apologize when you should and let go what you can't change.

Getting thousands of likes on the social media platform is not happiness. If you asked me a private life is a happy life. Be happy not because everything is perfect. But, because you choose to focus on the perfect moments.

I like to spend times with my family and old friends. How beautiful it is to find someone who asks for nothing but your company. One of my favourite past times that makes me happy is watching England play football with my friends. If you want England to win the world cup, you got to put up with the disappointments.

Happiness is a state of activity. I am always happy if I get to play golf with my golfing buddies over the weekend. There's going to be stressed in life, but it's your choice whether you let it affect you.

A final note. Live for the moments you can't put into words.
