Be happy what you have
Stop comparing yourself to others. Envy is like poison for happiness. It's very hard to keep your happiness alive when you're focused on how other people are better than you. When someone has something that you like (like a job, a car, a significant other, a fun vacation, etc.), don't be upset that you don't have that thing. Instead, be happy for the other person and focus on making yourself happier. Release yourself from desires for material things. Possessions can't make you happy in the long term. The "glow" from purchasing fancy new things quickly wears off. Soon, your new possessions are mundane and you're no happier than when you started. Money, houses, and shiny cars are nice things to have, but they're not the source of happiness, so by allowing yourself to desire these things you're only setting yourself up for more unhappiness.

If you want to make $150,000 a year so you can finally be happy, you are starting off on the wrong foot. If you are not happy with what you have now, you may sabotage your efforts and results. This is because when you are not happy right now, you will not keep the high level of energy that pushes you towards what you want to achieve – your low energy won’t supply you with the energy and ideas you need. You need to feel good to wake up and do the things that you need to do, so happiness in the moment is very important for happiness in the future. If you don’t find yourself being happy with what you have right now, then make gratitude an essential part of your life. The more you focus on what you are grateful for, the happier you will become.

Take a moment to think about your many gifts. In other words, think about all of the great things that you do have, not the things you don't. When you're feeling down, this can be tough to do, so start with things you may have taken for granted. Ask yourself the questions below. If you can answer "yes" to any single one, you have reason to celebrate — not everyone can. Think of the ways things could be much worse.

Happiness • Enjoy life while you can. • Happiness is not having what you want. It is wanting what you have. • Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling. • The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope not fool all of the people all of the time. • Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it. • Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. • Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true. • The truth which has made us free will in the end make us glad also. • Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult. • Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!

Happiness is likely to be “having what you want” leavened with gratitude. Rabbi Hyman Schachtel also wisely proposed, “Happiness is not having what you want. Happiness is wanting what you have.” When one wants what one has and one doesn’t want what one doesn’t have, the fantasy-reality gap closes and stillness, peace and sanity naturally reign. This is the springboard of our dearest yearnings, all to spearhead and manifest our heartfelt dreams and inspired visions. To live in truth takes practice, practice, practice…in surrender, surrender, surrender…every moment, moment, moment.

Spend a bit of time reorganizing how you run your daily life. Looking over at the horizon it can be easy to miss what is under your feet. Focusing on improvements of your routines, habits and environment can make a huge impact in your current satisfaction. Even if they have little influence on your bank account or GPA. If you are like most inhabitants of industrialized nations, you are richer than most medieval kings. You are free of most diseases that plagued our ancestors. You have far more human rights. And you are far less likely to die a violent death. By such a comparison, you should be overjoyed compared to your great-great-grandparents. Why doesn’t this feel like the case?

There are always multiple ways of looking at something, and we each bring a different type of attention to the discussion of any given topic. The fact that we each have differing viewpoints about what brings happiness is direct proof of this. All we share in terms of what happiness means is the common feeling and sensation that comes with the word. Becoming the happiness you seek is about understanding what type of attention you bring and realizing that there is a possibility of transforming your relationship to the things that happen in your life. It is a real work, it isn’t something you turn on and have it be present forever. Bringing an attitude of happiness to your situation requires constant effort, constantly remembering that you ARE your attitude.

They say that money problems have decreased. But they’re still there; they’re just tied in prettier bows. On one hand, it’s true that having a job and a moderate income can help you be more relaxed. But it isn’t any less true that money can’t buy mental health. On the contrary, sometimes it does nothing but aggravate certain problems and fill certain voids in the wrong way. Current unemployment rates in many countries have many short- and long-term psychological consequences. But setting aside social and economic matters, it’s important to look more deeply into the factors that explain the constant need – which is so present in Western society – to renew our material desires.
