I can't forget all my worries, my work, my family, my environment etc. Besides all this running together I am unable to find happiness in my life. People are very mean even friends are not supportive in nature. Which is the best way to become a happiest person?

But this type of thinking is a kind of hurdle in my development & productiveness. I will not work more to get some new things because I think I have sufficient resources to live a life which may be sufficient or not.

it means be contented with what you have, like your wife,children,simply stop wanting what you want more..ex. you have already a simple house and happy family..but in your mind,thinking you want something more a Big house or luxurious house.in means wanting more will not make you happy..it will just give you a headache..

Gratitute journal can keep track if you really happy or you are actually overwhelmed by other peoples problem that you might want to please or you are a people pleaser species. I agree that there are people who are mean like sometimes people accuse us too for being mean at certain time whereas actually when we acted that way just because we have our problem to solve and heavy thinking was in progress at the time he or she approached us. Do you know what m saying here

Every individual has different concept of happiness. Some things might make people happy but for the others these things make them unhappy so I believe there isn't an exact formula for it. Personally, if I want to be happy, I stay away from things that make me feel bad and sad. But the sad feeling is inevitable so if it comes around, well I try to deal with by surrounding myself with the things and thoughts that lighten my mood.

I have nothing that enlighten my mind. If I study my friends & colleagues say that why I study & when I don't study they say me notorious without doing nothing. Its not the same thing with my childhood friends. I can't stay away from sad & sorrow every time & you have also said that its inevitable & its so right.

To become happy, you must be able to change your perception. To quote Demi Lovato, "Sometimes it gets lonely, but I know that it's only a matter of my perception". It is true. How you look at things can affect your happiness. If you think that you can't be happy, then you won't be happy at all. Just try to have some positive perceptions in life, and you'll be surprised with the outcome. :)
