12.How to Be Happy in Your LifeNewborn babies are the happiest in the world.Unfortunately,as we grow up,worries start working up their way upon our minds.(61)C However,we can achieve happiness again with just some small changes.
Make a choice.Happiness is a matter of choice.A person who knows how to be happy will always be happy,no matter what situation we put him into.On the other hand,a person who always finds faults with everyone and everything around him cannot be happy,no matter how hard he tries.
Laugh a lot.When we smile or laugh,the muscles in our face excite the brain to produce"happy chemicals".These chemicals make us feel happy.(62)D Laugh at ourselves,laugh at our problems,laugh at our little worries and then see what difference it makes to our life.
(63)A Being angry with others at their mistakes will earn us nothing.Instead it will make us even more unhappy.Just letting go of others'mistakes every once in a while helps us to be happy.
Live out of the past.Often,the dark shadows from our past ruin every single second of our life and turn it into a bad memory.(64)G
Learn to give.Giving is a satisfying experience and the joy of giving cannot be expressed in words.One who gives all his life ends up leading a happier life than the one who concentrates only on receiving.
