Happiness exists... Where to find it?

     No person can find happiness except within himself, but he has to be guided to the best way to find it, which can be summed up as the need to be sincere, courageous, hard working, loving towards people, cooperative and unselfish.

      Happiness is not a myth, it is very real and is enjoyed by many. We can enjoy it too if we learn from experiences and benefit from the trials and tribulations we have gone trough in life. With patience, we can explore and learn so much from ourselves: we can get rid of many physical and psychological diseases with knowledge, will power and of course patience. And only then we can live the lives that Allah has given us; gratefully, following the rules and free of misery.
  
   People are the mirror of the individual. If you behave well towards them they will behave well towards you. And the opposite is also true as one gets back only what one puts out.
The one who have a good attitude always find more peace of mind and is less likely to experience anxiety or painful situations. In Addition, having a good attitude  is an act of worship to Allah, The Exalted.

      Allah says in His Glorious Qu'ran: " Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good , and turn away from the ignorant" (7:199).
     The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessing be upon him) said: "the most beloved of you to me are those who are best in attitude and humble, who get along with people and people get along with them. The most disliked of you to me are those who walk around spreading malicious gossip and causing division between friends, those who seek out the faults of the innocent.".

     A psychologist said that there are 10 keys to happiness:
1.Do a work or hobby that you love.
2.Take care of you health. Healthy body = healthy mind'
3.Have a goal in your life for it give you motivation.
4.Take life as it comes whether bitter or sweet.
5. Live in the present, yesterday is gone and tomorrow  might never come
6.Think hard about your decisions and actions, do not blame anyone for their consequences.
7.Look at those who are worse off  than you.
8.Smile and be cheerful and keep company with optimistic people.
9.Strive to make others happy so that you may benefit from the atmosphere of happiness.
10. Make the most of occasions of happiness and joy, and regards them as necessary to renew your own happiness.

    Let us remind ourselves that in The Race to Jannah, the happiest people are those with the best attitude...
