Happiness is nothing but a feeling; a state of mind. It comes from our own actions. Sometimes, it sneaks in unannounced and sometimes we have to pursue it using our mind and heart. But most of the time, happiness eludes us. Don’t worry for here are top 10 ways to maximise happiness in life.

10. Stop comparing:

Each person is unique and any comparison between you and that neighbour, classmate or distant friend isn’t going to do any good. Each of us has our own battles to fight and judging ourselves on a scale on which someone else is excelling isn’t the right thing to do. The colleague‘s shiny new car might be the cause of envy but that doesn’t really mean you should buy yourself one or remain unhappy.

9. Choose your friends wisely:

You can’t pick and choose your family but you can certainly and proactively stay away from people who spread negativity. A little optimism doesn’t hurt anyone but a little pessimism could certainly be the cause of havoc. Stay around people who share smiles and keep your distance from ones who are always in the dumps and get you down there as well.
