Happiness is a habit just like unhappiness is a habit. Happiness is a mental attitude and therefor can be learned.

You are the driver of your bus - you are in charge! When you think positive, you get positive, and a positive attitude facilitates achieving happiness. Conversely, negative thinking results in negativity and leads to feeling unhappy.

Some people live a life of misery, sadness, despair, fear, anger, stress, anxiety, depression and having low self-esteem. How do you change this mindset? One has to look beyond their horizon and realize that the happiness other people enjoy can be theirs as well.

If you are mired in in this negative mindset, you need to extend yourself to get beyond this state of mind. You need to do some soul-searching and question your belief system upon which your core beliefs are built.

You need to decide that you can adopt the habit and mental attitude of happiness, You have to extend yourself beyond your negative comfort zone, abandon negative thinking and negative habits.

You need to surround yourself with happy people who can positively influence and encourage you. This means that you will have to leave behind some of the people who don't fit the happiness model;, including the negative and limiting ideas and thinking that had you anchored in unhappiness.

A good start is to tune into positive surroundings, enjoying simple things like a walk in the park and enjoying nature. Listening to calming and uplifting music, reading inspiring books, explore  and partake in self-improvement training.

Discover some of you inner talents and build on them. Focus on the moment. Walk when you're walking, read when you're reading, sing when you're singing etc. By enjoying the moment, you will find that efforts to be happy are no greater then they are to be unhappy.

You are the driver of your bus - you are in charge! Remember that life should be lived, not just endured.
