Happiness: A Matter of Choice

The web has so many different opinions about how to be happy. There are some pretty good ones and plenty of dumb ones. When you looking for happiness, there are several things to remember. First of all, it is not a one size fits all deal. You have to find your own happiness and it might be different from someone else's. Have you ever been doing something with such intensity that you forget yourself and time? Playing gaming applications do not count in this category. You can crush candies some other time. This is the space and state where happiness can be found. If we keep challenging ourselves, we will always be able to get to this space. To get to happiness, we also need to be grateful and always remind ourselves of the little gifts in life that we have. It sounds too simple to be true, but research actually shows that if you smile, you'll have better health, a better marriage and other relationships, and increased life expectancy.
