The best way that I try to achieve happiness is to live a life filled with joy. It’s never too late to work for the things you want and need. Always be eager to learn different skills because they will eventually help you. Live happy and stay humble to yourself.

Simple, I put God first. I trust Him to turn every negative situation into something beautiful. The process is not always easy but it will be worth the wait.

I achieve happiness by staying to myself and being who I am. This works best for me because I’ve learned that to be truly happy, I have to allow myself to be unbothered. You can’t depend on others to guide your happiness when you’re the only person who really knows you.

I achieve happiness by doing things that bring me peace and joy. Whenever I’m feeling down, I sometimes listen to music which helps me clear my mind. I am also in love with softball. Whenever I play the sport, it keeps me focused. Setting goals for myself is a big thing for me because when I achieve those goals, I feel proud of myself.

First, to achieve happiness you have to define what happiness is to you. To me true happiness is mental or emotional as well as physical peace no matter the situation or everlasting joy. The only way to achieve this everlasting joy and peace is through Christ Jesus. Many may wonder how does someone you’ve never seen before give you such a feeling and honestly I don’t know exactly how He does it but what I do know is for a very long time, prior to my relationship with Him, I was unhappy. Not to where anyone could tell but just not as of peace and full of joy like I am now with Him as my ever-guiding light.
