What Makes You Happy – (3 Steps to Find Out)
Want to know how to find out what makes you happy? There are certain steps to follow to figure out what makes you really happy in life. Happiness isn’t about everything being perfect, it’s about you and the world around you. When I was young, most people tell me I have a smiling face. I am well known to be a “jolly” kid. What makes me happy during that time are my toys and the things I want to do.
When I am doing the things I want to do when I am young, I suddenly became happy. The things that makes me happy is when I am making joke with my mother, playing the piano, playing basketball and eating my favorite food. Also, I became suddenly happy when my mom gave me allowance more than what I am expected.
How to Find Out What Makes You Happy?
Today, let me share my experience on how to figure out what makes me happy. Here’s the step by step procedure to know what are the things that makes you really feel good.
Step 1. Observe Material Things. There are lot of things that can make anyone become feel good. Such materials are money, love letter, a gift or a food.
Step 2. Analyze yourself which most matters to you. Materials or non-material? The old quotes which for me is the “best happy quotes” saying “money can’t buy happiness but it can buy BMW which is almost the same thing”.
I always read something those lines related to “happiness quotes and money”. If you are excited and overwhelmed when you received things, that’s the moment you know what makes you happy.
If someone gave you a gift, will you appreciate it if it’s a “cash” or if it’s a “stuff”? If you appreciate “cash” than “stuff”, that means, money is what makes you happy.
Step 3. Observe the people around you. There are many happy people and contented people around the world. What I observe most is that the things that makes them happy aren’t usually things. The people around them are the reasons why they are happy.
