Gratitude is the greatest value we want to imbibe.We all have it on our menu card,yet we pass up the chance of offering it to life and people around us.We want gratitude to come to us naturally, and with zeal about it.The best  life is the one lived in gratitude as deeply as possible.

9 Reasons Why You Are Better Off Being Happy


You Need to Love Yourself

When you’re happy , the happy feeling  increases your love for yourself.It’s  a natural fallout of feeling good.Ultimately ,when you  love yourself you make yourself  feel as good as when you win an award ,or when you shop for something fabulous. So feel happy,be happy constantly. Make it a habit.Make sure you do some thing good for yourself, exclusively for yourself .It may be something as inexpensive as stopping to watch a lovely sunset for a few minutes,a swim in the pool,or a salami sandwich.Anything that sends little bubbles of pleasure and happiness inside you!

You Lead Others Better

Being happy most of the time empowers you and strengthens you.You end up bolder,you can shoulder greater  responsibility.Anyone who is a born leader is inherently happy.They may not flash a constant,cemented  smile ,always.Yet they are happy ,and hence they can lead better.And leaders are helpers; they serve others better and lead them nobly.Not through intimidation ,but by being  happy themselves .

Life Is Short

Happiness is the only currency of your life.This is one of the greatest secrets which we conceal from ourselves.Come to think of it ;everything we do in life is motivated by the ultimate yearning for being happy.Even when we do something  diligent ,which is currently unpleasant,we are certain it is an investment for a future happiness.So there you are;happiness is all we are concerned about all the time.Even when we submit ourselves to discomfitting situations.When our involvement with happiness is so constant doesn't being happy ,otherwise,make sense?

Happiness;Simplest Spiritual Work

Happiness has been historically espoused by all spiritual teachings and texts as a ladder for enhancing your spiritual powers.The Bible says “he that is of a merry heart  hath a continual feast”.There is hardly any other text which does not enjoin upon you to be happy.So it follows…when you’re happy you are spiritual by default. You are full of  happiness yourself  and hence you are in a better state to dole out the same to others as well.You can give happiness free of cost to this world.Just..... s-m-i-l-e.
 You Owe Gratitude to The Cosmos

A happy heart is a child’s heart.And kids are grateful for any goodness they receive in their hands,however insignificant it may appear to adults.Being happy is a fullness of spirit.True happiness is a feeling of completeness, a  gratefulness. A truly happy heart can remember goodness more fondly,more intensely,more frequently.And so you unconsciously slide into moments of rapture,and  gratitude.Something that is deeply spiritual.This is the least we can do for our spiritual indebtedness.


Its Your Responsibility to Yourself

You are yourself responsible for your happiness.You are yourself responsible for your personal well being.Much as you may like to pinpoint responsibility on others for your well being ,the truth is that you are the manufacturer of your own happiness.No one else is.So just go after it yourself.Leave the blaming and analyzing for those who do not want to accept this reality.You owe it to yourself to be happy.So remember, being happy is a great personal task, and a responsible one.

Attitude Is The Best Choice

Being happy is the best choice you can make for yourself.That is actually the best attitude you can don when you step out to meet the world every day.Unlike your clothes which wear out,your skin which wrinkles, your hair and teeth which politely depart from your body with advancing age;your attitude does not.A happy attitude is one thing which is not going to leave you, whatever the age,or circumstance.It is essentially a choice which you make continuously.A very ,very healthy choice.So be happy for the sake of making awise choice.

Ingredient Of a Healthy Diet

Happiness is a part of your diet which is to be consumed just as you have your regular meals. “Eating  happiness” benefits you more when it’s  a staple diet.Not just a fad.How  do you eat happiness. Well ,the simple truth is that our minds are huge eaters .They constantly eat all the time.Whatever you put in, your mind doesn’t stop to analyse much.It just gorges.And the after effects are only too telling. You only need to take a surface look at the difference between a cribber and a happy doer!So the best diet is one which contains generous  dollops of  "happy  vitamins".

Happiness;The Luck Enhancer


Your luck improves by huge, and unexplained, leaps when you remain happy. Sounds interesting, but its no coincidence. Documented evidence shows case after case of people from all walks of life improving their fortunes, and shaping better destinies by deciding to be happier every day. Affirmations which contribute to happiness are not so bad after all.So for the sake of your luch and fortune be happy.
