Mastering the ‘Art of Happiness’ is the key to living a beautiful and successful life. Yes, not money, not power, but happiness. This is that elusive object that we all run for, we all yearn for. Happiness is very difficult to define and put in a nutshell, but it is essentially that state of mind in which we are completely satisfied with ourselves, and our lives, and we are at peace with ourselves.
As simple as it may seem, the art of happiness is the most difficult state to achieve. Sages and philosophers have been trying to find the perfect solution to achieve this art of happiness for millions of years. However, the only way to master the art of happiness is to be happy with yourself. If I am happy with myself, with my work, with the people around me, then I am happy, and the simplest way to master this unique art of happiness is to “smile.” Yes, smile! If you can smile through all the adversities and troubles in your life, then you have perfected the art of happiness. This state can only be achieved when you have a positive attitude.
The art of happiness cannot be achieved if you are pessimistic and have a negative attitude. Only when you can smile even in the face of adversity or when things are bad, even when things are not going exactly the way we want, can you be happy. The most important lesson to learn from this is to be self-confident and respectful.
The art of happiness is when you are satisfied with yourself, when you can smile even if you don’t have the best cars, flashy bungalows, or more money than your neighbor. A crucial aspect of the art of happiness is also related to making the people around you happy. Helping others and making them happy with your actions is perhaps the most satisfying way to master the art of happiness. Even the simple things of everyday life, like greeting people with a smile, helping the elderly, treating everyone the same create a positive impact on people. The greatest joy you can have is seeing happiness on the faces of others, especially your loved ones, as a result of your actions. Then, you would have really mastered the art of happiness. Therefore, always have a positive attitude, do not let greed and selfishness rule your heart, and then you will have perfected this mysterious art of happiness.
It is strange but very true. Studies have shown that pretending to be cheerful, speaking in a cheerful tone, sporting a big smile, and walking with confidence can actually trigger joy. This is the simplest way to show that smiling is the art of happiness.
