    Many people choose to be unhappy, clearly does not know that it is your responsibility to be happy, always thinks that other people or the circumstances are the guilty of their unhappiness, the worst thing that this type of choice not only affects it alone but also people who live with her, i.e., extends his bad influence to others, so it is best to choose to be happy but it is difficult for some people, how accomplished is be happy? First, you have to know that choosing to be happy in life is not selfishness, it is a good choice, should we not expect that happiness will come at any time, this is a habit we must develop, which like everything requires effort and perseverance every day.

    What has been your best moment of happiness?

    My best moment of happiness was when I realized that I don't have to be fearful of the world!

    I used to be a very shy and frightened kind of a person, and used to stay away from group of people both with a fear of them harming me or making a joke at me. With this background, I started cracking jokes to make them laugh, so that I am acceptable and safe with a group. This became so trivial to me that I didn't even realize that I was unhappy with myself.

    But, there came a moment of realization when I was pursuing one of those personality improvement programs, where I really got acquainted with this powerful side of mine. It is then I realized, it is ok for me to go opposite to what person in front of me is saying, but there has to be a way to communicate it through! Earlier, I used to be afraid of even putting forth my thought or idea.

    People really don't understand what happiness is and how to be happy. They lost their way of finding happiness when it is just on their hands. When you feel in pain, it doesn't mean you can't be happy. You can create your own happiness as you wish and you can always choose it. Like Dumbledore said, "Happiness can be found even in the darkest times, only remember to turn on the light." And yes, I'm a Harry Potter fan.

    My best moment is happiness is when I finally realized that I can be happy even if I am not a wealthy person financially; even if I'm that kind of person who has only a few friends. I don't need to have much in life in order to be happy. I got sad and got hurt sometimes but I can always create my happiness and relieve my stress. I have a lot of problems right now, but still, I am happy. Time is too fast and life is too short not spending it with happiness. And happiness, it is inside of us we just need to find it and share it with others.

    When I'm listening to music alone, talking to a friend on my phone in the dark, and have all my needs taken care of is when I'm happiest. There's a sense of calm, peace, and lack of my usual anxious, rambling thoughts that makes it so, so nice to just sit for a moment and breathe.

    My best moment of happiness is when I descided to to follow what my heart says and stop worrying what might happen in the future. I descided to live for today and while preparing for the future and that makes a difference in my life today.

    Happiness is a deliberate choice. It's more of mindset. The external world of friends and family will never make you happy. Happiness comes from how you feel about yourself. What is your self-confidence? Are you self-reliant? We search for happiness in materialism and money, yet even rich people can be unhappy with all they have. Happiness comes from building strong foundations, strong relationships, and finding support with positive people. There's the relationship with ourselves first. The relationship with others 2nd.
