How To Be A Truly Happy Person?

Sex And Having Children – Reproducing as a species is our main purpose which is why it feels so good to do it. In addition, everyone I know who decided it was the right time to have children describes it as the most fulfilling feeling in the entire world.

Having Basic Needs Met – I watched a documentary called “Happy” that explained the science of true happiness while studying happiness levels in rich and poor countries. Their results found that money and happiness are only directly correlated to an extent. Money is a major contributor to your happiness up until your basic needs are met – food, water, shelter, clothing, etc. After you can afford to have these needs met, the amount of happiness money can bring you doesn’t drastically increase anymore.

Companionship – We’re social creatures at heart, no matter how shy or quiet some of us are. We desire to be loved by those close to us. In order to be happy, it’s imperative to have meaningful relationships with other people, both romantic and platonic. What’s the point of living a life of happiness when you can’t experience it with those close to you?

Success – Many of us believe in having a sense of purpose for our existence, and our measure of how aligned we are with that is our level of success. Being successful in anything, especially something you’re very passionate about, gives our lives meaning and validates our reason for existing.

Health – It’s no secret that healthy eating, exercising, and effective stress management directly affects your happiness. Doing a little bit of research will show you that these things are a surefire way to improve your physical and emotional health.

Sharing Your Wisdom – Being in a position to share your wisdom about life to those younger and less experienced than you is incredibly satisfying, sharing life stories, lessons, and practical advice. It’s a common habit that has been repeated among generations all over the world.
