Question

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help us be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. We spend so much time thinking about the future that we fail to enjoy the present. We should enjoy life’s pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to our favorite music, or spending time with close friends. Then we’ll live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. We can dance, or play sports, such as swimming. We can forget about our problems, and only think about the activities.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. We’ll feel good when we spend our time helping others. If we want to feel happier, do good things for someone. We can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
