Truly happy people seem a bit eccentric to us. Sometimes they do things that in the modern cynical world are considered at least stupid.

We mistakenly believe that “you cannot be famous for good deeds” and put on masks of impenetrability, while happy people sincerely smile at the world at all 32. They do not belong to any community and do not preach new knowledge, but almost all live according to the 7 commandments of a happy person.

1. Thoughts positively

Happy people know that thoughts materialize, and therefore do not allow themselves to become limp and tune in to bad things. They meet any failure in life as another useful experience and will never say: “Well, now this is, in a week, something else. My life is a nightmare. Happy people know that the black stripe will be followed by the white one. And even if it is very difficult now, you need to try to tune in to the positive, and it will appear in your life.

2. Don't worry about the opinions of others

A happy person knows that if you constantly worry about what others think of him, then you can not live at all. Every day we meet so many people with their exceptional view of us and any situation that listening to everyone and letting this opinion pass through ourselves means accepting in advance that sooner or later you will end up in a psychiatric hospital. A happy person listens only to those whose opinion he sincerely trusts. And he never forgets that even a trusted advisor can be wrong.

3. Do not think for others

Imagination is limitless. When we do not have complete reliable information, we begin to independently think it out for other people. And, surprisingly, we firmly believe in what they have thought out. This is how all sorts of problems, innuendo, grievances and claims appear.

A happy person understands that a serious conversation should be started only in order to find out the true motives of a person, and not in order to accuse him of all mortal sins, based solely on his own conclusions.

4. Love your body

You will never hear from a happy person: "I am terribly fat, I hate my hips." Happy people do not look for flaws in themselves; they are sincerely grateful to life for what they have. If a happy woman thinks to lose a couple of extra pounds, then she will approach this not from the position “I can’t look in the mirror, this is some kind of nightmare”, but from the position “I love my body and want to give it all only the best I think it won't hurt him to get rid of a few kilograms."

5. Don't try to remake your loved one

Happy people know this is a pointless exercise. Sculpting from what was, breaking and then reassembling for yourself - all this, of course, can bring pleasure in the first couples, especially if the result suits you, but then you will be surprised to find that the next person is not the person you are. loved. And, to be completely honest, only a few will agree to radically change for your sake. The rest will be indignant, will oppose this in every possible way, and then simply leave, slamming the door.

6. Don't judge yourself and others

You should not condemn another person for this or that act if you do not have complete information as to why and for what purpose he did so. You don't know what prompted him to take certain actions. Perhaps, if you were in a similar situation, you would behave the same way.

As for self-flagellation, this is an activity devoid of any meaning. It only takes time and mental strength, but does not bring any benefit at all.

It is much better to take a sober look at the situation, realize your mistakes and promise that you will try not to repeat them in the future.

7. First give, and only then receive

You should not demand love from another person if you yourself cannot give it to him. The same goes for a smile: if you want someone to smile at you, smile first. A happy person understands that a consumer attitude towards life and the people around him is a path to nowhere. It is necessary to share at least something in order to later accept something with gratitude. Therefore, a happy person is generous with kind words and deeds and will never think: "I will not console a crying friend, because last time she did not console me."
