One of the most common themes associated with
happiness is money. But money is vitally important to
happiness only when it is being spent on the most basic life
necessities: food, shelter and health care. Once these basic
needs are met, money loses much of its power. Happiness
is not necessarily having what you want; happiness is
wanting what you have.
Here are some keys to happiness
6. www.drkrishna.com
Happiness is only 50% determined by our genes
and 10% by what happens to us.
A whopping 40% of happiness is determined by our
volition and activities! Something we have control over!.
Optimism is a characteristic of happy people.
They look for positives in people, places and things.
7. www.drkrishna.com
Happy people are close to others.
The most important aspect is to have a close, trusting
relationship with others.
Spirituality is one of the keys to being happy.
We need to believe in the intangibles that add meaning
and value to our lives.
8. www.drkrishna.com
Happy people tend to have balance in their lives.
Work, play and spirituality are all components we need in
our lives to be happy.
Creativity can play an important role in our
happiness.
9. www.drkrishna.com
It is within us all to be happy.
Being happy is a fundamental right of all humans.
Not only is it a right, it is essential to our overall health and
wellbeing.
The relationship between mind, body and spirit is central
to our health.
