10 Bad attitudes Sapping your Happiness

-

Happiness is a chief goal in life. Everyone wants to be happy ultimately. Everything else men do is towards that goal of being a happy person. Anything that takes away your happiness is a loss irrespective of what it is. Men will gladly give away all their wealth in other to be Happy. What is the use of money without joy?

But this happiness has been covered with alot of fuss which doesn't have to go so. It is not far fetched. Not dependent on other people's actions and certainly not what we should wait for only after achieving our main goals in life.

It can be achieved by the little things we do or fail to do. Our happiness is in our hands. Here are 10 habbits killing our individual happiness.

1. POSTPONING YOUR GOALS.
Procrastination will keep you from reaching your goals more effectively than any other obstacle. Start today by taking one baby step toward a goal. Do the same the next day. It doesn’t have to be much, but do something every day. Consistent effort is the key.

2. LIVING A LIFE OF MEDIOCRITY.
Step out of your comfort zone and remember that many of the greatest pleasures in life include some degree of risk. Happiness is not about avoiding the painful things in life; it’s about chasing our dreams and aspirations.

3. SELF SABOTAGE.
Any pattern that keeps disrupting your growth, your success, or your happiness has to stop. What’s keeping you stuck? Find it and then find your way out of it. Develop patterns that support your highest goals.

4. RUNNING FROM YOUR PROBLEMS.
Start chasing the right things instead of running from what’s wrong. Don’t look at problems as something to be ashamed of or avoid, but as an opportunity to learn and grow.


5. WORRYING ABOUT YOUR FLAWS.
Everyone has flaws, but it’s up to you whether you’ll give them the power to keep you from doing what you want. Instead, take your flaws, find your strength in them, and make them work for you.

6. TRYING TO CONTROL EVERYTHING
This is an illusion. If you try to control everything, you will quickly become frustrated and angry. Instead, remember the only thing you can reliably control is your own reaction to the things going on around you and within you. To have command of yourself is a much more reliable source of happiness than trying to control everything around you.

7. BLAMING OTHER PEOPLE.
Nothing great has ever come from blaming or accusing others. The way to really be happy is to be accountable for your actions and responsible for your own consequences.

8. TRYING TO BE SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT.
Why do so many people want to be something they are not? What would it take to be happy with who you are, and celebrate your gifts and talents? Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. Look in the mirror and see who you are — and build on that foundation.

9. LIVING IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE.
The trick is to stay in the present long enough to truly figure out what makes you happy. What memories can you create today? What choices can you make to start creating happiness?

10. CONSTANT COMPLAINING.
Did you wake up in a bed? Do you have shelter and food? Don’t take the necessities of life for granted. Be grateful for all of life’s blessings: food, health, relationships, your mind, your heart. When you catch yourself complaining, take a moment to look around you in gratitude.
At the end of the day, quit the habits that do not serve you, that do not make you happy, and find the things that will make you happier and healthier in mind and body.

PURSUING ALL ROUND SUCCESS

               One thing you must understand early as a youth is that success is holistic . That means it it all round, there are few things that are absolutely necessary for a happy and fulfilled life, These are the things you must strive to get right and be a success at. Everything else may be needed as just additions. If you fail in one key area of your life, all other areas will be affected . even your other successes will be over shadowed by this one failure, your life will not be the sweetest and happiest, you will not love your life lived in the end. Regret will be inevitable.       People are clamouring for many things, fighting legally and illegally so succeed in different endeavours, but only few things really do matter. Have you discovered them? Everything doesn't weigh the same in importance. People have areas of their lives that are critical to their success and ultimate joy in life individually. Success in other areas hinge on success in that's things.

             poor has been described as an acronym for passing over opportunities repeatedly. It is not that only the poor are disadvantaged in one way or the other, but they choose to let their situations determine their realities.
