Success Does Not Lead to Happiness, it's the other way around: More Happiness Creates More Success! Do you want to be happy? The Right Philosophy -> The Right Attitude -> The Right Action Here are 5 Things you must do everyday; 1. Each morning write down 3 things you're grateful for: Not the same 3 every day; find 3 newer things to write about. That trains your brain to search your circumstances and hunt for the positive. 2. Journal 2-minutes a day about one positive experience you've had over the past twenty-four hours. Write down every detail you can remember; this causes your brain to literally reexperience the experience, which doubles its positive impact. 3. Meditate daily. Nothing fancy; just stop all activity, relax, and watch your breath go in and out for two minutes. This trains your brain to focus where you want to do, and not get distracted by negativity in your environment. 4. Do a random act of kindness over the course of each day. To make this simple, *Shawn often recommends a specific act of kindness; at the start of each day, take two minutes to write an email to someone you know praising them or thanking them for something they did. 5. Exercise for fifteen minutes daily. Simple cardio, even a brisk walk, has a powerful antidepressant impact, in many cases stronger (and more long lasting) then an actual antidepressant! *Shawn Achor, author of The Happiness Advantage, is a happiness researcher. According to Shawn, if you do anyone of these faithfully for just three weeks, 21 days in a row, it will strive to become a habit -- a happy habit. You will have for the truly begun to rewire your brain to see the world in the differently, and as a result, to be happier on an everyday basis. An interesting thing is that you don't have to do all five at once -- in fact, Shawn actually recommends that you don't even try to do that, but instead start with just one and keep repeating until it becomes a habit, then add another, and so on.

Another important one is never let anyone trying to make you feel bad yourself make you feel bad about yourself.
