Some people simply seem to be floating through life with a feeling of extreme happiness - in the most difficult times, they don't get disturbed and remain oblivious, stop to smell the roses and drink from the half-full glass.

They may not have too many things to feel happy about, but the simplicity behind that same fact can make them happy.

It is a matter of perspective, conscious effort and self-awareness. Listed below are a number of reasons why some people are always happy.

1. Control your expectations

They don't collapse when they don't get what they want - they don't fool themselves in expecting to get the best out of every situation. They face each situation pragmatically, hoping for the best but being prepared for the worst.

2. Unrealistic standards are not set

Similar to the previous point, they do not live their lives in a constant search for an impossible perfection, just forever falling short of what they want.

3. They don't take anything for sure

Happiness comes with feeling full - those who fail to stop and appreciate what they have in each now, can never experience the feeling of fullness.

4. They are not materialistic

There are many points of view that argue whether money can really buy happiness; If you can, then we know from experience that we can never be satisfied, because there will always be something newer or better than we have. Who has ever had enough money?

5. Do not stagnate

They don't sweat for small things or waste time worrying about things that don't really matter at the end of the day. They do not let negative thoughts slip into them and drain or distract them. Life is too short to worry.

6. They care about themselves first

They are independent, care about themselves and understand that they must place their needs first in order to accommodate the needs of others.

They give themselves up, seek to get what they want, make time for themselves and are extremely self-sufficient.

7. Enjoy the little things

They stop to smell the roses. They are accustomed to finding serenity when available, to welcome entertainment or to stimulate a talk with a stranger when they cross their path. They do not despise the small things in life, which are extremely important.

8. They adapt

They are not afraid of change and can work to make the best of new circumstances, good or bad. They bloom under pressure, do not get overwhelmed easily and always accept a change of pace.

9. Experiment

They try new things, experience new flavors and are never intimidated by something they have not lived. They never order the same thing twice from the same menu.

10. They take their time

They don't necessarily rush for life. They work on their own schedule to make what they can last longer and maneuver for life at their own relaxed pace.

11. Employ different perspectives

They don't settle for a single perspective; A loss can result in a new opportunity, touching the bottom means that you can only go up.

12. Looking to learn

Their constant search for knowledge keeps them inspired and interested in life. They appreciate the information and are on a lifelong quest to learn as much as they can.

13. They always have a plan

They are not rambling for no purpose. When something does not go according to plan, they have a plan for each letter of the alphabet to return to the road.

14. Give respect to receive it

They are respectful and, in return, are seen as respectable; The respect they give makes them earn the respect they deserve.

15. Consider any opportunity

They always have their eyes open for a new road, a new avenue that is worth exploring. They know how to recognize an opportune moment and jump in it to get the best out of each situation. Success is inevitable for them.

16. They always seek to improve

Permanent personal improvement is the key to his constant thirst for success. Whatever they do, they are proud to become better and better, from social interactions to worldly tasks. Your search for being the best eventually materializes.

17. They don't take life too seriously

They are not easily offended over complicated matters. They laugh at their own mistakes and misfortunes.

18. Live in the moment

They do not live for tomorrow or stagnate in what could have happened yesterday. Every day is a new opportunity, a new chapter. They live in the now, and while they do, they make the best of each moment.

19. They say yes

Much more than they say no. They do not have to be pushed out, they are not shy towards new opportunities or anything that may seem inconvenient.

20. They are self conscious

Most importantly, they are always fully aware of themselves. They self-reflect and are aware of their mental states. If something bothers them, they fix it.

We are all likely to feel discouraged from time to time, but we are all equipped with the necessary solutions that should only be discovered.

Lack of security, the inability to feel fullness, and susceptibility to stress are all issues that can be controlled through the way we manage our lives and perceive our circumstances.

Final thoughts

The main philosophy employed by the happiest includes the idea that life is simply too short: life is too short to allow things to discourage you, to take things as safe, to pursue absolute and unrealistic perfection.

For some, using these features is second nature - they do it without knowing it. For others, a conscious effort must be put in from time to time. Self-awareness is the key.
