Imagine how it would feel each day to wake up calm and ready to tackle the day. You would enjoy your job, have a sense of purpose, and have ample time for friends and family. We are here to assist you in achieving happiness, regardless of how it appears or feels to you. 

Let's look at the keys to happiness and how you can get started finding happiness in yourself.

1. Spend time with people who make you smile: Studies show that we are most joyful around people who are also happy. Stay with the people who are happy and let it rub off on you.

2. Be true to your beliefs: Values are everything you hold true, know to be fair, and believe in. The more you honor them, the better you'll feel about yourself and the people you care about over time.

3. Acknowledge the upside: Take a look at your life and assess what is working, and don't ignore anything just because it isn't perfect. Even the smallest of things, let them in.

4. Envision the best: Don't be afraid to imagine yourself getting what you really want. People are usually pessimistic because they don't want to be disappointed if things don't work out. The fact is that imagining achieving your goals is an important part of the process.
   

5. Do what you enjoy: Even if you can't skydive every day or go on vacation every season, you'll be happier as long as you do the things you love from time to time.
   

6. Find meaning: The people who accept they are adding to the prosperity of mankind will generally rest easier thinking about their lives. Because it is satisfying, most people want to be a part of something bigger than themselves.
   

7. Pay attention to your heart: Only you can tell what makes you feel full. It's possible that your friends and family believe you would be great at a job that really doesn't appeal to you. Following your heart can be challenging, but you will definitely figure it out.
   

8. Focus on yourself, not others: It's easy to feel that another person is responsible for your satisfaction, yet actually, it is your charge. Once you realize that, you are in control of your destiny. You will find your answers much sooner if you stop blaming the world or other people.
   

9. Be willing to adapt: Change is the only thing you can count on, even if it hurts. Change will occur, so make possible arrangements and genuinely shore yourself up for the experience.
   

10. Enjoy the simple pleasures: The people who love you, prized recollections, senseless jokes, warm days, and brilliant evenings — these are the ties that bind and the gifts that continue to give.

Although they are sometimes just out of reach, happiness and contentment are within reach. Finding them more frequently starts with knowing what works best for you.
