First of all, you have to understand that happiness is a choice
If you want to be happy, you have to choose how you want to live your life on this planet. I believe that every single person on earth wants to be happy, but the problem is that we can't be happy (or at least not all of us at the same time).
I can say that everyone was happy at least one time in this life (when we were born). That moment was a happy moment for every family, and they shared with us that happy moment even if we don't remember.
Share with other people your happiness
Sharing with other people your happiness is the most important thing. Why is so important to share your happiness? Because...
Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it. -Brainyquote
How will people know you are happy if you are keeping it for yourself? or What's the point to be happy if you don't share it with people around you.
Sharing your happiness with other will increase more your happiness and you will be happier.
When you can choose to be happy
Most of the people choose to be happy in the future, and that's the worst thing they can do or there are those people who are too deep involved in their work, and they forget about happiness.
Why should you choose to be happy tomorrow or today, if you can be happy now, in this moment?
Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life. -Brainyquote

A little peom - I choose to be happy
While there's life, there is hope.
While there's hope, there is a dream.
While there's dream, there is faith.
While there's faith, there is a success.
While there's success, there is a joy.
While there's joy, there is always happiness.
That's all about in life, to be happy! So tell me can you choose your happiness?
Very inspirational and positive!
Every day we get to choose our attitude! UPVOTED!

Awesome post and great to see someone trying to make people happier, as someone who has suffered from manic depression I often find it very hard to just be happy.
My mother actually used to try and get me to fake it until you make it and I have to say on the occasions where I have tried it gets easier as time goes on and people really responded to me differently it was a bit of an eye opener.
While I still have issues and some days the effort is too much, when I can I choose to be happy.
Great post upvoted and followed!

Thanks so much for saying :)
I just wanted to mention that I also feel as though through the process of faking it, you then influence those around you and people subconsciously or not react to other people's emotions.
If you smile at a stranger as you pass them in the shops chances are they will smile back at you - we are genetically programmed and hormonally influenced to feel good when someone smiles at us, However if you were to reverse your actions and scowl chances are the person would scowl, frown or avoid making any contact with you at all - we influence people by what we project.
This can be so hard to do so I try and do it but if I see someone else who is obviously not having a good day I will always make the effort to offer them a genuine smile, you never know how bad someone's day is going and your smile could make all the difference - a fleeting moment can have immense effect on someone who hasn't had anyone else willing to make the effort to break past the barrier of their external expressions.

I actually LOL reading this thanks and no worries, I am totally smiling :D
Your post just happened to spark a bit of a convo between myself and my partner @ausbitbank and we delved deep into energy transfer and basic natural impulses engineered into our genetics - like flight or fight - this is sort of smart to be around or not so smart to be around.
This is why you have to make a conscious effort - we as people often operate on instincts without even being aware of it :) just some food for thought!

I don't know what is happening, but I feel good to read your comments and write you back, not because I need to do it or to be a nice person. The reason why I'm doing is because I feel better and just thinking that you will reply back makes me smile. Even you will not reply back, my smile will be here and wait for it. I'm fell sorry for one reason; That you didn't found this post earlier. Why? Because you brought the real happiness here right now for every single person that will read your comments. It's just amazing.

I love that you are spreading a little happiness today! thank you! Over the years I've encountered different tools to promote happiness like mindfulness and some courses on Coursera.
There is a great program that was started by Jon Kabat Zinn at the University of Massachusetts. Feel free to check it out below. The program has become so popular over the last 2 decades that most cosmopolitan cities have their own Mindfulness Centers . http://www.umassmed.edu/cfm/
The other course I really liked was the was a free course on the coursera platform, which was my favorite course of all time (and I have taken many and diverse courses over the years, from finance to fine arts, mindfulness to nutrition. ) This is actually my favorite course of all time. Although it's a MOOT you don't feel it at all. the community is very inclusive and the exercises are fun and encourage self improvement. Feel free to check it out:
