Last year while I was doing an English course, the teacher gave us a task, we had to do a "how to" style presentation in which we had to explain how to do something. After thinking a lot about which topic I should choose, I decided to investigate about something that not only will help me to pass, but also to do something that actually will leave an impact to my classmates and me. Since then, I have been researching a lot about this topic and I think that a simple "class presentation " literally changed my way of living life every day. So I would love to share it with you steemians!

We have only one life is and it’s too short for us to be waiting for that perfect moment in which we believe that happiness will descend from some heaven and enter our life in the form of money, opportunity, a person, etc. That makes us waste time waiting for the stars being aligned.

It’s a daily decision to be happy, and like many other habit you have to be committed to it and internalize it. For this, I bring you these 5 tips that can definitely give us that little push every day:

Did you know that your body interprets a smile with happiness? This means that by smiling you are sending the following message to your mind: I am happy! Making it a reality!

In addition, a smile is the best letter of introduction, so it will make everyone have a greater predisposition to deal with you to relax and give the best of themselves.

You have to love yourself so others can love you. Don’t be so hard on yourself because that could made you insecure. Accept your virtues and your defects. If there is something about you that you do not like and you can’t accept ... Try to change it!

See the positive side of things even when something bad happens to you! Obstacles and problems are there for us to learn an important lesson.

Also it’s important to surround yourself with positive people because happiness it’s contagious as well as unhappiness… so beware of it.

Stop complaining and criticizing so much... People who pass by criticizing others and complaining about everything, waste their energy and are unable to succeed. In addition, they become pessimistic and infect more people with their bad mood.

Having goals and working to achieve them will help keep you motivated, happy and passionate about what you do every day of your life.

In my opinion this is one of the most important tips since many times we are worried about things that we can’t control because it does not depend on us.

For example; you went to a job interview with your best aptitude and gave the best answers you could give but you are still worrying because they have not called you yet. The important thing is you know that you gave the best of you in that situation and if you didn’t get the job you have to go ahead and keep looking.
