Tips for live a HAPPY LIFE

Life is like a swing, sometimes it makes you go up, and sometimes it makes you go down, but even so, you are enjoying it right? Life can make you feel bad, but even so, it doesn’t mean that everything that you are living is horrible, there are always things to be happy about.

You can be happy with your friends, hearing music, every person in this world can feel happiness for a different reason, but the feeling is still the same. A simple smile can change the whole world of a person, so life is not always bad. Like they say “life has a meaning when there’s a goal or a purpose to achieve.” but happiness is not the same as the meaning of life, but for achieving it, we need to go into a path of happiness. If we choose a way of bad living, or choose things that won’t make you feel happy, you should try to recover control of your life again. Maybe it may seem like everything is lost, but that’s not true, everything has a good side and maybe you are just having a bad time and that’s all, but that doesn’t mean that your life will keep going in sadness and despair.

A life is the human’s most important treasure, you should protect it and care for it, but if you don’t have a good control of what you are doing or is happening, you will never be capable of choosing what’s good for you, and that makes your life seem like and endless paradox, and it will keep going. Don’t let life laugh at you, you should laugh at it. Life isn’t a joke, but life can be enjoyed like one. Yes, it is difficult and sometimes really stressful, but you can do it, and that’s the best thing about life. You can do whatever you want with it if you try it with all your heart and force.

All those things that you have heard in your life like the “yolo” (that means that you only live once so you should enjoy the moment), the ”carpe diem” (that means to cherish the moment, and cherish life before it is too late)

and the typical “hakuna matata” (which means no problems, don’t stress yourself) are all true. For all problems, there’s always a solution, the only thing that doesn’t have a solution is death itself, and that’s why we must enjoy every moment of our life before it is too late, without stressing ourselves with problems or moments that may seem like hopeless, but they aren’t like that, like I said, they always have a solution.
