Many people believe that we are born happy or unhappy. Or that being
both happy and unhappy is just a part of life, a test, or lessons to be
learned.
But consider this: could happy be something we can get whenever we want?
Know What You Want
You first must know what you want. What truly will make you feel satisfied and you
r life complete? Spend time really thinking about and meditating on your lifelong desires.
Wealth can be in this list, but shouldn't be the only thing. Remember: money is a tool; when used wisely, it can help you get you what you want.
Also, be honest. If you put things on your list that other people want for you, you won't pursue those with much enthusiasm, and it can cause you to become unhappy instead.
Plan for How You Will Get it
Once you know what you want, spend time developing a crystal clear plan to get it. You must know how, otherwise you are spending time doing wishful thinking rather than purposeful planning.
When you have a plan developed for attaining what you truly want you are more likely to get it. What happens when we run a business? One of the first things we need is a business plan, otherwise our venture doesn't succeed. Achieving happiness is the same. Without a plan, it's just wishful thinking.
Having a plan requires having a system in place.
Accept and Believe in Yourself
Go in accepting yourself and who you are as a person. You need to believe in yourself and your capabilities in order to be successful on your journey to happiness.

Have a Meaning and Purpose
Dig into the essence of who you are. Do you want to help others? Do you want to dedicate your life to being inspiring or being the best at something? Make sure you have a purpose before you start pursuing your goals.
Be Mindful of What You See and Hear
What we put into our minds and bodies is critical. Be careful what you allow yourself to hear, because what we hear influences our beliefs. Because we know this, we can make sure that what we watch and listen to will affect our beliefs in a positive way as well.
Make Your Work a Calling
Don't just work for a paycheck, make what you do a higher calling. Love what you do, enjoy your work. Strive to fulfill your purpose and plan through your work.
