Ten lesser-known habits that will make you happier than 98% of people

I get it, ‘happiness’ isn’t really a thing.

It’s fleeting.

At the same time, most of us instinctively know what we mean by happy, so I’m going to stick with it for this article.

The following habits will clarify what I mean anyway…

Stop looking for happiness.

Chasing ‘happiness’ only reinforces the fact that you haven’t reached it.

Way to go, dumbass.

This is one of life’s greatest paradoxes and it could be why you continue to live in the dark.

Be relentlessly keen on helping others succeed.

It’s easy to think that this kind of enthusiasm isn’t in us naturally. We’re too busy trying to succeed ourselves.

The more you do it, the more this naturally comes to you.

Supporting and lifting others will take the emphasis off you, diminishing your self-consciousness while also bringing in insane levels of good karma.
