The 4 qualities of happy people
Happiness. We all want it, but how many people can say they are? Let’s look at the traits of happy people to learn more about happiness.
Happy people make an effort to be happy
Happy people choose to be happy. They know that happiness is not something that just happens – you make an effort to be happy. It’s not that their lives are perfect, it’s that they choose to respond to an imperfect life with a smile. All those minor annoyances – spilt coffee, missed train, rude strangers – don’t matter to them. They focus instead on what goes right and the blessing in their life. Realistically, nobody can be happy 24/7 but happy people don’t let circumstances or other people (all which they know are out of their control) get them down. They have a realistic but optimistic attitude on life.
Happy people surround themselves with happy people
The saying goes that a person is the average of the six people they spend the most time with. Positive people don’t surround themselves with negative people – you know the types of people that always complain, judge others and are jealous and resentful. Happy people want to share their happiness and know that healthy relationships are key to their happiness.
Happy people take care of themselves
Happy people know that life has its highs and lows. Stress, anxiety and sadness can take its toll on your mind and body. It’s why happy people know to take care of themselves. They want to live a long and happy life and know that their physical and mental wellbeing is crucial for that.
Happy people are happy with who they are
It’s not about arrogance or superiority – happy people are simply comfortable with who they are. They love themselves, flaws and all. They accept and embrace themselves and wouldn’t dream of wanting to be someone else. They don’t need the approval of anyone else and understand that nobody is perfect.
