"Happiness is a journey, not a destination" ~ Ben Sweetland
Many peoples main goal in life is finding happiness
"Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim, and end of human existence." ~ Aristotle
But for some, happiness is a lifelong search. If you are one of those people, this article is for you. Here are some tips on how to find happiness.
Be Grateful
Some people only think about what they don't have, and never consider what they do have. A gratitude journal, don't be picky: appreciate everything, and changing your perspective are all great ways to start being grateful. For more great tips on how to be grateful checkout this article.
Connect With Others
Whether its friend, family or even your pet, you should always spend time with other people. Isolation is never the answer. Make a family/friends game day, or a family/friends movie night. Both ideas are great, try them out.
Practice Active Optimism
Optimism is more than positive thinking. Its a way of interpreting everything that happens to you. Optimistic people always think on the bright side, always find the best solutions even in horrible situations, always smile and they do much, much more.
Smile More Often
This is very similar to the last one, but they are also very different. Try to smile when you first wake up. Smiling has also been known to boost your health. Smiling actually helps the human immune system function more effectively. All the more reason to smile! :)
Do What Makes you Happy
Do want makes you happy. Don't let anyone tell you what to do, or what you should be. Never give up until you're happy. You know what they say; >Whoever is trying to bring you down is already below you
Listen To Music
Music has the ability to lift your spirits out of the dumps. Sometimes listening to someone else's problems is exactly what you need to fix yours. All you need is a great playlist. Spotify or 8tracks are great places to look. On these platforms, you can create or listen to playlists. Try them out.

Work Out
Working out has been known to make people happier. It improves your mood and decreases depression, anxiety, and stress. Exercise helps you sleep better, makes your bones and muscles stronger, helps your brain health, and it helps in weight loss. So I suggest you write gym in your planner for tomorrow.
