Being happy. I always hear the question: how can I be happy? And I wonder that happiness shouldn't be searched happines is in ourselves, we all have happiness inside, we must change the way we look at the world. Sometimes I feel miserable, because I focus my attention on what I don't have and on what I would have, and that's make me even sadder. A few days ago I read a book about this theme, the writer said that we should't focus on the objects on the contrary we should focus on the power we all have, we all should be faithful, we should have faith in life, and we have to accept things for what they truly are, if you are sad don't try to convert this feeling in a positive one accept that, and search in yourself the source of your pain. Not everyone listen to his own soul, but it has the power of decision, our souls always try to tell us something. So my final advices is to be happy you have to accept and have faith. That's all. Have a nice day to everyone!

Being Happy.

I always hear the question: How can I be happy?
And I feel that we should not search for happiness around us because shouldn't be searched happiness come from within us and we all have happiness inside, we must change the way we look at the world.
Sometimes I feel miserable, because I focus my attention on what I don't have and on what I would like to have, and that makes me even sadder. A few days ago, I read a book where the author wrote about the topic of happiness, and (he/she) said that we shouldn't focus on the objects material possessions. On the contrary, we should focus on the positive attributes that we can cultivate. We should all be faithful, we should have faith in life, and we have to accept things for what they truly are. If you are sad, don't try to convert this feeling to a positive one. Accept the sadness, and search within yourself for the source of your pain.
Not everyone listens to *their own inner-heart but it has the power to guide us and tell us something.
So my final advice is to be happy, accept (imperfections or regrets in life) and have faith. That's all.
Have a nice day, everyone!

Hi Amèlie,

I like your article and I agree with your main point about inner happiness. I hope I have not changed your main ideas too much, especially with my blue highlighted parts. I added them as I felt that they would make your sentences more detailed. 

*Just as a side discussion, "everybody" is an indefinite pronoun, meaning that it refers to people in general. Hence, they cannot be paired solely with a gender-specific pronouns only such as "his" or "her"; we use "their" instead.

Hope this helps you.

Being happy.

I always hear the question: how can I be happy?
I think that happiness shouldn't be searched for because happiness is inside ourselves. We all have happiness inside so we must change the way we look at the world.
Sometimes I feel miserable, because I focus my attention on what I don't have and on what I could have, and that makes me even sadder. A few days ago I read a book where the writer said that we should't focus on material possessions. On the contrary, we should focus on the power we all have, we should all be faithful, we should have faith in life, and we should accept things for what they truly are. If you are sad, don't try to convert this feeling into a positive one. Accept it, and search within yourself for the source of your pain.
Not everyone listens to their soul but it has the power to make decisions. Our souls are always trying to tell us something.
So my final advices is: to be happy you need acceptance and faith. That's all.
Have a nice day everyone!
