One sure way of feeling happy everyday is to be contended with what you have. I have read this story about a man. He was a simple farmer and he was happy because he was contented and he was contended because he was happy. One day another person came and told him about diamonds and since then that farmer became unhappy because he was not contended. He was feeling unhappy because he did not have diamonds. Everyday we crave for so many things. We want all the things in the world, but we clearly ignore the things that we already have and feel happy for them. We want the best job, the best car and all, but we fail to appreciate the things we already have which makes us unhappy. So the simple rule is to be happy with what we have rather than chasing cars. bourne

For me it has to do with my religion and I must begin my days with quietness and quiet reflection within it.. to me it is prayer, but also sort of meditation where I seek to still my mind quiet enough to sense God and 'hear' his quiet voice (which is in the peace of silence). In my faith I can freely approach God because of how his son, Jesus, paid any and all debt for me and I am declared innocent and can draw near to God who is a great transforming power. Before I found my religion, no I was not very happy at all, but that was more than 30 years ago.

Who doesn't want to be happy everyday?But most of the time we can't control the things/situations that spoils our happiness.Happiness means contentment so if your contented with what you have, what you are and what will you become then for sure you'll be happy in your entire life.How I wish everybody would be like that.But that's impossible right now especially with the kind of lifestyle we have.
