Learning about happiness

-->

One year ago, if someone had told me all the changes that my life would have, I would not have believed. No matters how many times we hear about what real happiness is or what are they keys to being successful in life, everything will depends on what is our view of life, happiness and success. Don`t be afraid to be different, don`t be afraid of being lost for a while, don`t be afraid of failures or frustration. All of it is part of being human.

My new journey has started, living and working alone in a new environment has taught me to understand changes as a part of life, we just should keep positive and self motivated every day. I talked with some people who are in a similar situation that is why I posted this article in order to reinforce the idea to discover your own happiness and fight for it.

This article "Six keys to being excellent at anything" told us about how much effort involves being excellent. You should be passion, perseverance, do the hardest work first, practice intensely, take renewal breaks and ritualized practice. Nevertheless, you should never forget to ask you first, what is happiness for me? What make me feel alive?

What I learnt so far...

1. To enjoy every minute of life. It`s good to have a plan but plans ALWAYS will change.
2. To love your family and your friends, never be tired to tell them how special they are for you.
3. To spend time by yourself finding happiness through loneliness. Being alone doesn’t have to equal being lonely.
4. To discover new surprises every day, open your mind to new people and new situations. Give people the best of you.
5. To understand that Work is not our life but co-workers are part of ours.

Finally I would like to add one of my favorite phrases, from Elizabeth Gilbert . “People tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather if you are fortunate enough. But that is not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist on it and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it”

Be happy!
