how to live a happy life

What is a happy life? Is it one full of riches and grandeur or one made of simple pleasures and contentment? Truly, a happy life is found in the balance of both. To live a life of joy, one must strive to attain a certain level of success and recognition, but also find joy in the little things. One should attempt to discover their passions, and follow those passions with all their heart. 'Tis true that our passions will bring us the greatest happiness, for when we are passionate about something, we are truly alive. We must also strive to be kind and generous to others. For by giving to others, we are giving to ourselves. We should also make an effort to stay away from those who bring us down, and surround ourselves with people who make us laugh and bring us joy. Finally, one should make an effort to appreciate the beauty of this world, for it is an ever-changing and mysterious place. We should be grateful for all that we have, and seek to find joy and beauty in the everyday. So, to live a happy life, one should strive to achieve success, follow their passions, be kind and generous, surround themselves with people who bring joy, and appreciate the beauty of this world. With that, one will live a life of true joy and contentment.
