PEOPLE always desire to be happy.

All of us wish to have a harmonious life, no enemies, happy family, good friends and peace in all. And when somebody is asked what he or she wants in life, our usual answers would be “I just want to be happy.”

But it is ironic that we all want to be happy but we don’t seem to do anything to be happy? Instead, we unconsciously or consciously do things that makes us unhappy every day.

Here is the list of things that creates unhappiness in our lives.

Criticizing all the time. Often, those that usually criticize other people reveal what they lack, this is like unconscious self-condemnation. They envy and refuse to find good spots in others. They are ruined when others are praised. They would die inside when others accomplish anything.

Remember that there are two types of critics in this world: those who criticize so they can get something and those who criticize so they can give something.

Complaining is not a strategy to save your inadequacies. People will not empathize with people who do not perform their tasks. It is funny when a person complains of colleagues who are non-performing but then the person complaining is known to come to work frequently tardy.

Someone may have all the wits and skills but when he or she chooses excuses and procrastination, his or her relevance is worthless.

To ask all the time without giving. Some seem to be very kind but in reality, they are greedy. Giving comes with justice; you cannot ask for somebody to work for you and don’t return that excellent work fair. That person might not be asking too much

but remember that you have made all people believed that you did a good job and then disregard the person who helped you complete the job. Selfish people are hard to love because so little love comes from them.

To be an idealist. People who think that there is only one solution to a problem that person neither has comprehend the solution or the problem that needs to be solved. Oh, stop living a life basing on what is your idea of a perfect life. Failing to understand the limitation of what you believed and convincing yourself that the real world can be transformed into your perceived perfect world can lead to infinite unhappiness.

Every one of us wants to be happy. Sometimes we chase happiness but being happy actually is easy, it is just a choice. A choice to be happy is by seeing others happy because you have contributed positiveness, radiating fullness of life towards others.

Let's choose to be happy, indeed.
