Things That Makes A Happy Life
What makes a happy life? Is it material things or what you have within your heart?
We all want a happy life. And that is why we do everything we can to ensure that we attain this happiness.
There are people who go against their principles just to attain a happy life.
In this article, I will share several things that make a happy life.
Happiness stems from several things that I will share with you in this article.
Without wasting time, let me share these things that make a happy life.
These are the things that make a happy life;
1. Having a purpose in your life.
I know you may be surprised why I say that having a purpose in life is going to make you happy.
Let me explain something to you that will make you understand why I’m saying having a purpose in life is going to make you happy.
A purpose is a mission that you will keep yourself committed to as long as you live.
This is something that you will be fighting for every day of your life.
What you need to know is that the things you do contribute greatly to your happiness in this life.
If you want to have a happy life, you first have to choose something that you find happiness and tranquillity doing it.
The things you do every single day to sustain yourself and the people you care about are going to cover your life.
So, if you completely hate what you do then it’s going to be very hard for you to have a happy life.
What you do will always mess up your happiness. It doesn’t matter how much money you make from what you do.
If it doesn’t make you happy there is no way you will have a happy life.
You have to know that the biggest part of our lives is surrounded by what we do.
The things we do makes us who we are.
You have to find something that you are passionate about, that will make you happy and give you the life you want.
If you have no passion then you should find it because it’s going to contribute to your happiness in life.

The things you will do for the rest of your life will give you a purpose. And that purpose is a great influence on your happiness and that is why I’m saying having a purpose in life is going to make a happy life for you.
2. Being contented with what you have.
This is one of the things that contribute to your happy life.
Being content with what you have is not lame.
We all always want something in our lives. There is a chase that we keep pursuing every single day.
If you achieve one thing today, you will tell yourself that you need something else.
The chase will keep on going as long as you live.
What you have will never be enough for you. You will always need something more.
This is enough to deprive you of your happiness.
If you want to have a happy life you have to be someone who is contented with what he or she has.
Being content will save you from a lot of internal battles about the things you want to have in your life.
If you are not contented something else is going to develop from that.
You will find yourself hating people who have more than you, all you will think about is to search for more so that you can be above them.
The moment you won’t manage it you will start to be jealous, you will envy the successful people and you will eventually develop a hatred for them.
This will never allow you to live your life in peace. You won’t be happy with how everything is progressing in your life.
You will always be chasing something more so that you be more than someone else.
Eventually, you will find yourself comparing yourself to them and this is the worst thing you can do with your life.
This will happen simply because you are not content with what you have in your life.
But if you are content with what you have, you will develop an internal richness.
Your life is going to be filled with happiness because you don’t have any battles within you.
Contentment is one of the things that makes a happy life.
3. Impacting others positively.
Your relationship with other people is also one of the things that makes a happy life.
If your relationship with people around you is bad then it’s going to be impossible for you to have a happy life.
This means you have to make your life about helping others. When you are this person who is concerned about the better of others your life is going to be filled with happiness.
The more you help other people the more you are going to be happy.
You will have people who are going to appreciate you, love you and want you close because of how kind you are to them.
Some people are not going to like you even after you have pulled them from a dark hole that they couldn’t manage to get out of by themselves.
But seeing them successful and living the life they wanted is going to fulfil you.
You are going to be filled with positive energy with you, and you will feel that your life is so meaningful and this alone is a great thing that will contribute to your happiness.
If you want to have a happy life then you should learn to relate with other people nicely.
Respect them, help them when they are stranded and don’t make everything about yourself.
Be empathetic and go out of your way to do more for other people.
If they are going to be happy and successful in life this is also going to make you the happiest person ever existed on this earth.
Being selfish will only leave you lonely and miserable. No one will like you and you will die alone in your bed.
4. Your spiritual connection to what you believe in.
Your relationship with God is something else that will contribute to your happy life.
I’m a Muslim and I know that for us, anyone who forsakes the remembrance of Allah will have a life filled with difficulties.
Your spiritual connection to your creator is one thing that will either make you happy or unhappy.
We have a soul that needs to be fed. The way you feed your body it’s the same way that your soul needs to be fed.
If you won’t do something on your soul and yet you believe in something then you are going to feel empty.

You are going to feel that there is something essential with you missing.
And this is enough to mess up your happiness. No matter what you will do with your life, you will always feel that there is still something missing.
So, taking care of your spiritual connection to what you believe in is going to make you whole.
You are going to have a happy life simply because your subconscious knows that you are living your life the right way.
When you want to connect to your creator; to develop this spiritual connection that is going to make you happy you will have to change your lifestyle.
You will have to stop some of the things that you know go against what you stand for and believe in.
This is what is going to make you happy with your life.
Do everything in your life but don’t forget that your soul needs to be fed too since it contributes to the happy life that you are seeking.
5. Letting go of the past.
Our lives are filled with regrets. We still have things that we did or that happened to us in the past that we are still figuring out.
The past keeps haunting us. Also, it can be that we are stuck in our past because it gives us something to hold onto.
If you want to be happy you will have to let go of the past and focus on what you have before you.
Focusing on your past is only going to make your life worst.
The worst things that happened to you in the past will keep on haunting you.
Instead of you being happy, your life is going to be a live horror.
There is no way you are going to be happy if you are stuck in your past.
This will only leave you with regrets and your focus won’t be on the present.
You will never have a happy life if what happened in your past still affects your present.
Building a happy life will only be a dream for you.
So, you have to let go of the past if you want a happy life and focus on your present.
Be alive in the present and enjoy the company of the people who love and care about you.
Let go of the past, no matter how amazing or bad it was.
You can’t do anything to change what you did or what happened to you in the past.
Bury your past, and grow something else amazing on top of your past and you are going to have a happy life.
6. Forgiving others and yourself.
I told you earlier that your relationship with other people is one of the things that contribute to your happiness.
If you want to have a happy life, you have to be ready to forgive others and forgive yourself.
Forgive people who hurt you in the past and forgive yourself too for the bad things you did to others.
There is power in forgiveness.
When you forgive other people, you won’t have hatred left in you. Only positive energy will surround you.
This will reduce the burden on your life. Trust me, it’s very easier to love than hate.
If someone did something to hurt you, forgive them and live your life.
Forget about what they did to you, this is for your own good and not theirs.
Also, when you forgive other people, you are going to create good relationships with them.
As you already know that it’s one of the things that contribute to a happy life.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself because this is something that results in self-love.
When you love yourself harder, then you are going to take good care of yourself and this will always make you a happy person in this life.
Forgiving others and yourself is one of the things that contribute to a happy life.
Conclusion…
If you want a happy life you have to work for it. It won’t happen automatically.
Anyway, what I can tell you is that your happiness stems from within you and the things you do.
If you are a good person, you make other people’s life great then you are going to have a happy life.
Don’t forget about your spiritual connection with what you believe in because that is another thing that is going to give you the happy life you desire.
Be contented with what you have, it will get rid of the negative feelings and your hatred of other people.
You won’t care so much about material things other than creating a good connection with the people you come across.
This will make you the richest person in your heart and you will always be happy no matter how hard your life is.
