What's up everyone? I hope today finds you well! Today, I wanted to write you all an encouraging and uplifting blog. I want to give you some tips to be happy in life. In my content today, I'm even gonna give you some quotes on being happy! Sound good? Alright, let's get started!

I want to start with a quote from Charles Spurgeon. He said, "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness." This is so true! Happiness is not found in the things we have, but rather in the things we enjoy. For example, a book can bring me happiness if I actually read it. If I buy the book and display it, it would be cool to have, but I wouldn't be able to fully enjoy what it has to offer.

Martha Washington told us, " I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition." Here, I believe she is telling is that happiness ness is a state of mind, and that no matter how bad it is, you can find happiness.

I remember a few weeks ago, my brother and I were attending a race, and it came a crazy hard rain. We were absolutely soaking wet! It was cool outside, coupled with the fact that we were cold, and it was a miserable situation. However, the statement was said, "Can you imagine the awesome story we can tell tomorrow and the rest of our lives because of this?" What was a miserable situation become a cherished memory all because we did as Martha Washington said, and controlled our dispositions!

One of my favorite quotes was from Aristotle. He said, "Happiness depends on ourselves." Ultimately, your happiness belongs to you. To be happy, you have to decide you want to be happy.

If you're struggling with your happiness, then let me offer this in the conclusion of this blog. Solomon tells us that to be happy we must do a few things. First off, enjoy your job. This is why I'm doing Wealthy Affiliate. I enjoy it! In fact, my Dad has always told me to get a job I enjoy and I'll never work a day in my life.

Secondly, Solomon says to surround yourselves with friends that make you laugh. Laughter is contagious, so get around these people and have a laugh fest! It's good for your soul!

Thirdly, Solomon says to enjoy your food. If you dread eating your food, then you are sapping away happiness. Now, this doesn't mean you can't go on a diet. It just means to find a way to make the health food in a way that you can enjoy it!

I want you to make it a point to laugh at something 5 times a day. 1 of those 5 must be at yourself. Do this for a week, and see if you're not a happier person for it!

Cheers,

Rod
