about happiness

Today i read that happiness is 50% in born.. it's in your gene that you are more optimistic or pessimistic.. thus, the way you see life.

Studies then show that 10% is circumstances in nature. And you have no or not much control over that. So, you're left with remaining 40%.

Fortunately, the last 40% is within your control - it's what you do that determine your 40% of happiness. It's the things you do and things you can do!

It shows that if you do three good things each day and write it down on paper, it has a profound effect on your happiness level. Further, if you make an effort to thank someone whom you felt you didnt have the opportunity to properly thank him or her, it works wonder for your happiness level. In short, learn to practise gratitude.

Finally, contrary to conventional thinking, research has shown that it has nothing or little to your wealth, health and job. Even if you suddenly earn more today, after a few weeks you will get used to the amount and started to wish for more.. It's human nature to want to improve and earn more..
