There are two types of people in the world:
- Those who choose to be happy and those who choose to be unhappy.
Contrary to popular belief, happiness does not come from fame, wealth or material goods.
It comes from within.
The richest person in the world can be miserably unhappy, while a homeless may be smiling and happy with his life.
The people are happy because they are happy.
They have a positive outlook on life and are at peace with themselves.
The question is: how do they do it?
It's very simple.
Happy people have habits that improve their lives and behave differently.
Ask a happy person and she will say:
1. Do not hold a grudge.
Happy people understand that it is better to forgive and forget to let the negative feelings dominate.
Grudge is harmful and can cause depression, anxiety and stress.
Why let an offence for someone exercising some power over you?
If you forget your grudges, will gain a clear conscience, and enough to enjoy the good things of life energy.
2. Treat everyone with kindness.
You knew it was scientifically proven that being kind makes you happy?
Being altruistic makes your brain produce serotonin, a hormone that reduces stress and lifts your spirit.
Treat people with love, dignity and respect allows you to build stronger relationships.
3. See problems as challenges.
The word "problem" is not part of the vocabulary of a happy person.
One problem, most often, is seen as a disadvantage, a fight or a difficult situation.
But when viewed as a challenge, can turn into something positive, as an opportunity.
Whenever you face an obstacle, consider it a challenge.

. Express gratitude for what you already have.
There is a popular saying:
- "The happiest people do not have the best of everything, they make the best of everything with what they have."

5. Dream big.
People who have the habit of dreaming big are more likely to accomplish their goals than those who do not.

- "Does this problem have the same matter in a year?"

Talk less, listen more. Play keeps an open mind. The more you listen, the more content you absorb.
