Happiness is an emotion, a particular state of mind. It is not possible to define happiness in definite terms as it is a subjective feeling. Everyone has different views on happiness. One person is happy over one incident, does not mean that a second person will be happy too.

Simple solutions to secure happiness are to be optimistic and look to the present without worrying about the past or the future. You cannot change what has already happened in the past. Neither are you able to predict what happens in the future! So, why worry? Best attitude is to take this as it is and look at how to make yourself happy NOW (which is within your control). Boost your confidence levels to attain higher self-esteem by being true to self, and always striving forward.

The foundation of your happiness lies in your choice to be happy. You have to commit to yourself to be happy and make it the most important aim of your life. No one can help you. There is only yourself to make the choice to be happy or to be not happy.

Depression arises from irrational thinking. It is also a culmination of all negative emotions, leading to lack of self confidence. The underlying cure for depression lies within you. You have to love yourself first to be able to love and receive love from all. This opens doors to your happiness and success.

Fear is worry about your ability. You should be brave enough to allay your fears and confront them. Do not lie low and accept everything. Instead, strive to do beyond your expectations. This focus is more likely to bring you happiness.

The first step is always to prioritize your personal growth. Set goals, and then set higher achievement levels for yourself. Do not overdo your goals as this could lead to more unhappiness if you keep setting goals one after another but never achieve them.
